D.) 7(8 - X) - 5 = 40

let X = unknown number

eigth minus a number is 8 - x. since the product is seven and eight minus a number then 7 * [8-x] or 7(8-5).
40 is its equivalent when the product is decreased by 5; therefore, 7(8-x) - 5 = 40.

Answer : D  7(8-x)-5 = 40

The product of eight minus a number and seven equals forty when decreased by five

Let the unknown number be x

eight minus a number means 8 -x

For product we multiply

The product of eight minus a number and seven

It means the product of 8-x  and 7

So expression becomes 7(8-x)

The product of eight minus a number and seven equals forty when decreased by five

To decrease by 5 we subtract 5

7 (8-x) -5 and this equals 40

So equation becomes 7(8-x)-5 = 40

The life spans of a computer manufacturer’s hard drives are normally distributed, with a mean of 3 years 6 months and a standard
german

The probability of a randomly selected hard drive from the company lasting between 2 years 3 months and 3 years 3 months is 32.22%

Given here,

Mean (μ) = 3 years 6 months

= (3×12)+6 = 42 months

Standard deviation (σ) = 9 months

We will find the z-score using the formula: z = (X - μ)/σ

Here X₁ = 2 years 3 months

= (2×12)+3 = 27 months

and X₂ = 3 years 3 months

= (3×12)+3 = 39 months

So, z (X₁ =27) = \frac{27-42}{9} = \frac{-15}{9}= \frac{-5}{3}=-1.666...

and z (X₂ =39) = \frac{39-42}{9}  = \frac{-3}{9}= \frac{-1}{3}= -0.333...

According to the standard normal table,

P(z> -1.666...) = 0.0485 and P(z< -0.333...) = 0.3707

So, P(27 < X < 39)

= 0.3707 - 0.0485

= 0.3222

= 32.22 % [Multiplying by 100 for getting percentage]

So, the probability of a randomly selected hard drive from the company lasting between 2 years 3 months and 3 years 3 months is 32.22%

Heather is a student in a class that has been asked to conduct a hypothesis test for a population proportion. The null and alter
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Alan = reject H0

Bill = cannot say

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Heather is a student in a class that has been asked to conduct a hypothesis test for a population proportion.

H0: p = 0.5 \\Ha: p ≠ 0.5

(two tailed test at 5% significance level)

Since she rejects null hypothesis p value should have been less than 0.05

when p value <0.05, it is definitely less than 0.10

So at 1% level of significance also the null hypothesis would be rejected.

So Alan also would get the same result as to reject the H0

But about Bill since Bill uses 0.01, we cannot definitely say that p value is less than or greater than 0.01

All we know is that p is less than 0.05

Hence it is impossible to tell from the information for Bill

Which is a simplified form of the expression -4(n + 1) – (n + 2)?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

-(5 n + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-4 (n + 1) - (n + 2)

-4 (n + 1) = -4 n - 4:

-4 n - 4 - (n + 2)

-(n + 2) = -n - 2:

-4 - 4 n + -n - 2

Grouping like terms, -4 - 4 n - 2 - n = (-4 n - n) + (-4 - 2):

(-4 n - n) + (-4 - 2)

-4 n - n = -5 n:

-5 n + (-4 - 2)

-4 - 2 = -(4 + 2):

-5 n + -(4 + 2)

4 + 2 = 6:

-5 n - 6

Factor -1 out of -5 n - 6:

Answer: -(5 n + 6)
