Find the value of x if the perimeter is 30. X+3, x, 2x-1

Mathematics

1 answer:

Sladkaya [172]2 years ago

7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter represents the sum of all of the sides adding.

The problem is stating that;

$30 = x + x + 3 + 2x - 1$

Combine like terms;

$30 = 4x + 2$

Subtract from both sides;

$28 = 4x$

Divide each side by 4;

$7= x$

Check;

$30 = 7 + 7 + 3 + 2(7) - 1$

$30 = 17 + 14 - 1$

$30 = 31 - 1$

$30 = 30\checkmark$

Use long division to solve 38 divided by 4

4vir4ik [10]

If you know how to set up the format for long division, the answer is 9.5 because 4 goes into 3 zero times, and you don't necessarily need to write down the zero on top since it equals nothing in a whole number. then, 4 goes into 38 nine times. (yes 38 because you didn't do anything with the 3 so you just make it 38) 4 × 9 = 36. it doesn't exactly make 38, so you take away 36 from 38 and you are left with a remainder of 2. then to get no remainder, add a zero to the end of 38. so it would look something like 4/380 so you take down the zero next to the 2 so it makes 20, 4 × 5 = 20 and you are left with a remainder of 0 and the answer: 9.5 ( P.S.: added the decimal because it wasn't exactly equal when doing 4 × 9 so we had to add a zero)

For a large supermarket chain in a particularâ state, aâ women's group claimed that female employees were passed over for manage

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

1) As the P-value (0.097) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the women's claim that female employees were passed over for management training in favor of their male colleagues.

2) The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.173, 0.427).

The populations proportion (π=0.4) is included in this confidence interval, so the claim has no enough evidence to be supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for a proportion.

The claim is that female employees were passed over for management training in favor of their male colleagues.

We use the women's part for sample and population proportions.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi=0.4\\\\H_a:\pi$

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample has a size n=50 persons.

The sample proportion is p=0.3.

$p=X/n=15/50=0.3$

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.4*0.6}{50}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0048}=0.069$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p-\pi+0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.3-0.4+0.5/50}{0.069}=\dfrac{-0.09}{0.069}=-1.299$

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as:

$\text{P-value}=P(z$

As the P-value (0.097) is greater than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that female employees were passed over for management training in favor of their male colleagues.

b) We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.3.

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.3*0.7}{50}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0042}=0.0648$

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

$MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0648=0.127$

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

$LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.3-0.127=0.173\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.3+0.127=0.427$

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.173, 0.427).

The populations proportion (π=0.4) is included in this confidence interval, so the claim has no enough evidence to be supported.

Which expression is equivalent to 5x - 5x + 3x - 3x?

Mademuasel [1]

5x - 5x + 3x - 3x = 0
****since there is one positive and one negative of both 5x and 3x everything would cancel and the equation would equal 0
