Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying 5x + -7 = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. -7 + 5x + -2x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x -7 + 3x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 -7 + 3x = 8 + 0 -7 + 3x = 8 Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + 7 + 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + 3x = 8 + 7 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: 8 + 7 = 15 3x = 15 Divide each side by '3'. x = 5 Simplifying x = 5

Heights of adult males are known to have a normal distribution. a researcher claims to have randomly selected adult males and me
8090 [49]

Answer:

The sum of the probabilities is greater than 100%; and the distribution is too uniform to be a normal distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the probabilities of a distribution should be 100%.  When you add the probabilities of this distribution together, you have

22+24+21+26+28 = 46+21+26+28 = 67+26+28 = 93+28 = 121

This is more than 100%, which is a flaw with the results.

A normal distribution is a bell-shaped distribution.  Graphing the probabilities for this distribution, we would have a bar up to 22; a bar to 24; a bar to 21; a bar to 26; and bar to 28.

The bars would not create a bell-shaped curve; thus this is not a normal distribution.

1) Use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses.
.. 3(6x) -3(5) -7(3x) -7(10) = 0
.. 18x -15 -21x -70 = 0 . . . . . . finish multiplying terms
.. -3x -85 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect like terms
.. -85 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .add 3x
.. -85/3 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3
.. -28 1/3 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . write as mixed number


2) 5 -(6 +9x) = 9 -(4x -1)
.. 5 -6 -9x = 9 -4x +1 . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property
.. -1 -9x = 10 -4x . . . . . . . . . collect like terms
.. -1 = 10 +5x . . . . . . . . . . . . add 9x
.. -11 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10
.. -11/5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
.. -2 1/5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . write as mixed number
