Answer:

x=8a

Step-by-step explanation:

3/a x-4=20

We need to solve for x

Add 4 to each side

3/a x-4+4=20+4

3/a x = 24

Multiply each side by a/3 so we can get x alone

a/3 *3/a x = 24 * a/3

x = 8a

Scores on the SAT Mathematics test are believed to be normally distributed. The scores of a simple random sample of five student

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=584$

And the 95% confidence interval is given by:

$584-2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=476.271$

$584+2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=691.729$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (476.271;691.729)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=584$

The sample deviation calculated $s=86.776$

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=5-1=4$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,4)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.776$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$584-2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=476.271$

$584+2.776\frac{86.776}{\sqrt{5}}=691.729$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (476.271;691.729)

In a basketball game 15 of 20 foul shots that Michelle attempted were successful. What percent of her shots were not successful?

mestny [16]

<u>Work 1:</u>
Successful Percent:
15 divided by 20 equals .75
.75 times 100 is equal to 75
75%
Not successful Percent:
100% minus 75% equals 25%
<em>25%</em>
<u>Work 2:</u><u />
20 minus 15 equals 5
5 divided by 20 is equal to .25
.25 times 100 is equal to 25
<em>25%</em>

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

(15c + 8)(a + b).

Step-by-step explanation:

15c·(a+b)+8·(b+a)

(a + b) is common to both parts:

= (15c + 8)(a + b).
