3/x = 5/(x+4)
5x = 3(x+4)
5x = 3x + 12
5x - 3x = 12
2x = 12
x = 6

Answer:

C. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the rectangles in the figure are similar.

<em>Thus, the corresponding sides of the two rectangles will be equal.</em>

So, we get,

\frac{3}{x}=\frac{5}{x+4}

i.e. 3(x+4)=5x

i.e. 3x+12=5x

i.e. 2x=12

i.e. x = 6.

Hence, the value of x is 6.

A newspaper poll asked respondents if they trusted "eco friendly" labels on cleaning products. Out of 1000 adults surveyed, 498
Paul [167]

Answer:

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of respondents that trust these labels is not significanlty less than 0.5 or 50%.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=1000 represent the random sample taken

X=498 represent the adults that trust these labels

\hat p=\frac{498}{1000}=0.498 estimated proportion of respondents that trust these labels

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion of respondents that trust these labels is at least 50%:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.5  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.498 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{1000}}}=-0.126  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level is not provided but we can assume it as \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level assumed \alpha=0.05 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of respondents that trust these labels is not significanlty less than 0.5 or 50%.

What is the value of x in the equation 8x-2y=48, when y=4
Oksanka [162]
8x - 2y = 48,  y =4

8x - 2(4) = 48
8x - 8 = 48
8x = 48+8
8x  = 56
x = 56/8 = 7

x = 7
