Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x - 5) = 12

-2x + 10 = 12 (this is the mistake, -2 times -5 = + 10)

-2x = 12 - 10

-2x = 2

x = 2/(-2)

x = -1

Answer:

-2(x - 5) = 12

-2x + 10 = 12

-2x + 10 - 10 = 12 - 10

-2x = 2

-2x/-2 = 2/(-2)

x = -1

Thus, The answer is (-1) and the mistake is multiplication of sign i.e.,

[ (-) × (-) = (-) ] this is wrong ×

But

[ (-) × (-) = (+) ] this is right ✓

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

A reporter collects a random sample of 50 runners from all the runners who finished the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run in 2009 and constructs a 99% confidence interval for the true mean finish time to be (86.05, 99.38) minutes.

Assuming the reporter performed the calculations correctly, which of the following statements are appropriate interpretations of this confidence interval?

We can expect that 99% of confidence intervals created using the same method the reporter used will contain the true mean run time for runners of this race.
