Vesnalui [34]3 years ago

Answer:

1/2x-3 + 5x/2x+6 = 2

1/2x-3 + 5/2+6 = 2

1/2x-3 + 2.5+6 = 2

1/2x + 5.5 = 2

1/2x = 2-5.5

1/2x = 3.5

1 = -3.5 × 2x

1 = -7x

x = -1/7

hope it helps :)

Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x-3+5x/2x+6=2

1/2x-3+5/2+6=2

1/2x+3+2.5=2

1/2x+5.5-2=0

1/2x+3.5=0

0.5x=-3.5

x=-7

There were 2430 Major League Baseball games played in 2009, and the home team won the game in 53% of the games. If we consider t
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.53 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{2430}}}=2.958  

p_v =P(Z>2.958)=0.0015  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion is significantly higher than 0.5 .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=2430 represent the random sample taken

\hat p=0.53 estimated proportion when the home team won the game

p_o=0.5 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

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 is higher than 0.5 or 50%:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.5  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.5  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, 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{0.53 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{2430}}}=2.958  

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 provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

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

p_v =P(Z>2.958)=0.0015  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion is significantly higher than 0.5 .

Here's an example

<span>Simplify by collecting like terms: 4(<span>x2y  </span>+ 7y) – 5y(3<span>x2 </span>– y) – 10y</span>

 

<span>A) −11x2y + 5<span>y2 </span>+ 18y</span>

 

<span>B) 4<span>x2y + </span>11y – 8<span>yx2 – </span>16y</span>

 

<span>C) 4<span>x2y + </span>18y – 15<span>yx2 + </span>5<span>y2</span></span>

 

<span>D) 4<span>x2y </span>– 5y(3<span>x2 </span>– y) – 3y</span>

 

<span>A) −11x2y + 5<span>y2 </span>+ 18y </span>

<span>Correct. 4(<span>x2y  </span>+ 7y) – 5<span>y(3x2 </span>– y) – 10y = 4<span>x2y + </span>28y – 15<span>yx2</span> + 5<span>y2 – </span>10y = 4<span>x2y + </span>18y – 15<span>yx2</span> + 5<span>y2 </span>= −11x2y + 5<span>y2 </span>+ 18y.</span>

 

<span>B) 4<span>x2y + </span>11y – 8<span>yx2 – </span>16y </span>

<span>Incorrect. The 4 is distributed to both terms in the parentheses by multiplying each term by 4 resulting in 28y, not 11y. The −5y is similarly distributed to each term in the parentheses, resulting in −15<span>yx2 + </span>5<span>y2. </span>The correct answer is −11x2y + 5<span>y2 </span>+ 18y.</span>

 

<span>C) 4<span>x2y + </span>18y – 15<span>yx2 + </span>5<span>y2</span></span>

<span>Incorrect. This polynomial can be further simplified by combining the like terms 4<span>x2y </span>and −15<span>yx2. </span>The order of the variables in a term does not matter. The correct answer is </span>

−<span>11x2y + 5<span>y2 </span>+ 18y.</span>

 

<span>D) 4<span>x2y </span>– 5y(3<span>x2 </span>– y) – 3y </span>

<span>Incorrect. Before combining like terms, you must distribute to clear the parentheses. The correct answer is −11x2y + 5<span>y2 </span>+ 18y.</span>

A tea that is 22% jasmine is blended with a tea that is 13% jasmine. How many pounds of the 22% jasmine tea are used to make 10l
tatiyna

Given

A tea that is 22% jasmine is blended with a tea that is 13% jasmine

Find out the how  many pounds of the 22% jasmine tea are used to make 10lb of tea that is 19.3% jasmine.

To proof

Let us assume that the a tea that is 22% jasmine is blended = a

Let us assume that the a tea that is 13% jasmine is blended = b

Total amount of tea made = 10lb

the equation be

a + b = 10

as given

jasmine tea are used to make 10lb of tea that is 19.3% jasmine.

write 22%  in the decimal form

= \frac{22}{100}

= 0.22

write 13%  in the decimal form

=\frac{13}{100}

= 0.13

write 19.3%  in the decimal form

=\frac{19.3}{100}

= 0.193

than the equation be

0.22a + 0.13b = 0.193 × 10

on simplify

22a + 13b = 193

two equation becomes

22a + 13b = 193 and a + b = 10

multiply a + b = 10 by 13 and subtracted from the 22a + 13b = 193

we get

22a - 13a + 13b -13b = 193 - 130

9a = 63

a = 7lb

put this value in the a + b = 10

we get

7 + b = 10

b = 3lb

Therefore the 22% jasmine tea are used to make 10lb of tea that is 19.3% jasmine is 7 lb .

Hence proved
