$3(14 - 5x) = 16 - 12x$

Distribute 3 throught the parentheses

$42 - 15x = 16-12x$

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its sign

$42 - 15x + 12x = 16$

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

$- 15x+12x=16 - 42$

Collect like terms

$- 3x = - 26$

Divide both sides of the equation by -3

$\boxed{x = \frac{26}{3} }$

$\sf \: 3(14 - 5x) = 16 - 12x$

$\sf \: 42 - 15x = 16 - 12x$

$\sf \: - 15x + 12x = 16 - 42$

$\sf \: - 3x = - 26$

$\sf x = \frac{ \cancel -26}{ \cancel- 3}$

$\large \boxed{\sf \underline{ \color{green}x = \frac{26}{ 3} }}$

At the local pet store, zebra fish cost $2.00 each and neon tetras cost $2.15 each. If Ernesto bought 15 fish for a total cost o

bezimeni [28]

So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras

Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish

A report on consumer financial literacy summarized data from a representative sample of 1,664 adult Americans. Based on data fro

daser333 [38]

Answer:

a. The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all adult Americans who would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance is (0.54, 0.588). This means that we are 95% sure that the true proportion of all adult Americans who would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance is between these two bounds.

b. Because this confidence interval is entirely above 0.5, the interval is consistent with the statement that a majority of adult Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

Sample of 1,664 adult Americans, 939 people in the sample would have given themselves a grade of A or B in personal finance.

This means that $n = 1664, \pi = \frac{939}{1664} = 0.5643$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5643 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5643*0.4357}{1644}} = 0.54$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.5643 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5643*0.4357}{1644}} = 0.588$

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all adult Americans who would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance is (0.54, 0.588). This means that we are 95% sure that the true proportion of all adult Americans who would give themselves a grade of A or B on their financial knowledge of personal finance is between these two bounds.

(b) Is the confidence interval from part (a) consistent with the statement that a majority of adult Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B?

Yes, because the confidence interval is entirely above 0.5.

Because this confidence interval is entirely above 0.5, the interval is consistent with the statement that a majority of adult Americans would give themselves a grade of A or B.
