Answer:

-2

BRAINLIEST, PLEASE!

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 3(2a + 1) = -4a + 10

5 - 6a - 3 = -4a + 10

2 - 6a = -4a + 10

-2a = 8

a = -4

-4 + 2 = -2

Answer:

a+2 = -4+2 = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5-3(2a+1)=-4a+10

Distribute

5 - 6a -3 = -4a +10

Combine like terms

-6a +2 = -4a +10

Add 6a to each side

-6a+2 +6a = -4a+6a +10

2 = 2a+10

Subtract 10 from each side

2-10 =2a+10-10

-8 = 2a

Divide by 2

-8/2 =2a/2

-4=a

A gallup survey indicated that 72% of 18- to 29-year-olds, if given choice, would prefer to start their own business rather than

Neko [114]

Answer:

The probability that no more than 70% would prefer to start their own business is 0.1423.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a Gallup survey indicated that 72% of 18- to 29-year-olds, if given choice, would prefer to start their own business rather than work for someone else.

Let $\hat p$ = sample proportion of people who prefer to start their own business

The z-score probability distribution for the sample proportion is given by;

Z = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, p = population proportion who would prefer to start their own business = 72%

n = sample of 18-29 year-olds = 600

Now, the probability that no more than 70% would prefer to start their own business is given by = P( $\hat p$ $\leq$ 70%)

P( $\hat p$ $\leq$ 70%) = P( $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{0.70-0.72}{\sqrt{\frac{0.70(1-0.70)}{600} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -1.07) = 1 - P(Z < 1.07)
