Here’s why:
⸻⸻⸻⸻
I am assuming that '3=x divided by 3' is supposed to be .
⸻⸻⸻⸻
The first, second, and fourth equations have x divided by a number. To isolate x, we would have to use the multiplication property of equality.
⸻⸻⸻⸻
For the third one (), the variable 'x' is being subtracted by 6. We would have to use the addition property of equality to isolate x.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
Answer:
C. $5180
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we have to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal probability distribution:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Z-scores lower than -2 or higher than 2 are considered unusual.
Central limit theorem:
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random normally distributed variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
In this problem, we have that:
Which of the following mean costs would be considered unusual?
We have to find the z-score for each of them
A. $6350
By the Central Limit Theorem
Not unusual
B. $6180
Not unusual
C. $5180
Unusual, and this is the answer.
