Find the mean ( average):
105 + 104 + 110 + 112 + 114 + 106 + 108 +109 = 868
Mean = 868 / 8 = 108.5
Standard deviation:
108.5 - 105 = 3.5, 3.5^2 = 12.25
108.5 - 104 = 4, 4^2 = 16
110 - 108.5 = 1.5, 1.5^2 = 2.25
112 - 108.5 = 3.5, 3.5^2 = 12.25
114 - 108.5 = 5.5, 5.5^2 = 30.25
108.5 - 106 = 2.5, 2.5^2 = 6.25
108.5 - 108 = 0.5, 0.5^2 = 0.25
109 - 108.5 = 0.5, 0.5^2 = 0.25
12.25 + 16 +2.25 + 12.25 + 30.25 +6.25+0.25+0.25 = 79.75
79.75/8 = 9.96875, SQRT(9.96875) = 3.1573
Standard Deviation = 3.1573
108.8 +/- 1.96 *(3.1573/sqrt(8) = 110.687 and 106.312
110.687 - 108.5 = 2.19
108.5 - 106.312 = 2.19
Margin of error = +/- 2.19
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 5 to both sides
x = 6
Add 3 to both sides
x = -15 +3
x = -12
Distribute 2 and remove parentheses :
1/2x+8=3x-6
Multiply both sides of equation by 2:
x+16=6x-12
Move terms:
x+16-6x=-12
x-6x=-12-16
Collect like terms:
-5x=-28
Divide both sides:
x=28/5
Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero. Then set each factor equal to zero.
x=10,−1
