solving equations 1/2(x+3)=2/5(x+2)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

convert to decimals 0.5(x+3)=0.4(x+2)

simplify the brackets 0.5x+1.5=0.4x+0.8

isolate x to one side 0.1x=-1/7

divide both sides by 0.1 x=-7

Polynomial function R is the difference of two degree-2 polynomial functions P and Q. What are the possible degrees of R? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

D. The possible degrees are 0, 1, and 2 because it cannot be higher than the degree of either P or Q but it can be less depending on which terms cancel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible degrees are 0, 1, and 2. Let's explain why by assuming the following is given:

P = 6x² - 3x - 2

Q = 3x² + 2x - 6

Let R = P - Q

Thus:

(6x² - 3x - 2) - (3x² + 2x - 6)

Open parentheses by distributing the factor of -1

6x² - 3x - 2 - 3x² - 2x + 6

Add like terms together

6x² - 3x² - 3x - 2x - 2 + 6

R = 3x² - 5x + 4

The leading term of R has a degree of 2. Therefore, the difference of two degree-2 polynomial functions P and Q can give us a a polynomial function of R with a degree of 2.

Also, let us assume the following:

P = 4x² + 4x - 3

Q = 4x² + x - 8

Let R = P - Q

R = (4x² + 4x - 3) - (4x² + x - 8)

R = 4x² + 4x - 3 - 4x² - x + 8

Collect like terms

R = 4x² - 4x² + 4x - x - 3 + 8

R = 4x + 5 (4x² cancels 4x²)

The leading term of R has a degree of 1. Therefore, the difference of two degree-2 polynomial functions P and Q can give us a a polynomial function of R with a degree of 1.

Also, let us assume the following:

P = x² + 2x - 3

Q = x² + 2x - 8

Let R = P - Q

R = (x² + 2x - 3) - (x² + 2x - 8)

R = x² + 2x - 3 - x² - 2x + 8

Collect like terms

R = x² - x² + 2x - 2x - 3 + 8

R = 5 (x² cancels x², and 2x cancels 2x)

The polynomial R has a degree of 0. Therefore, the difference of two degree-2 polynomial functions P and Q can give us a a polynomial function of R with a degree of 0.

Therefore we can conclude that:

D. The possible degrees are 0, 1, and 2 because it cannot be higher than the degree of either P or Q but it can be less depending on which terms cancel.

A resident of Bayport claims to the City Council that the proportion of Westside residents
(1) with income below the poverty level is lower than the proportion of Eastside residents
(2) The City Council decides to test this claim by collecting a random sample of resident incomes from the Westside of town and a random sample of resident incomes from the Eastside of town. Seventy-six out of 578 Westside residents had an income below the poverty level. Hundred-and-twelve out of 688 Eastside residents had an income below the poverty Specify the hypotheses.
Calculate the value of the test statistic (round to 4 decimal places).
Calculate the p-value (round to 4 decimal places).

Answers

Answer:

The test statistics is  [tex]z =  -1.56 [/tex]  

The p-value is   [tex]p-value =  0.05938 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told  

   The West side sample  size is [tex]n_1  =  578[/tex]

    The  number of residents on the West side with income below poverty level is [tex]k  = 76[/tex]

    The East side sample size  [tex]n_2=688[/tex]

  The  number of residents on the East side with income below poverty level is [tex]u  = 112[/tex]

   The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o  :  p_1 = p_2[/tex]

    The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a :  p_1 <  p_2[/tex]

Generally the sample proportion of  West side is  

     [tex]\^{p} _1 = \frac{k}{n_1}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\^{p} _1 = \frac{76}{578}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\^{p} _1 =  0.1315 [/tex]

Generally the sample proportion of  West side is  

     [tex]\^{p} _2 = \frac{u}{n_2}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\^{p} _2 = \frac{112}{688}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\^{p} _2 =  0.1628 [/tex]

 Generally the pooled sample proportion is mathematically represented as

    [tex]p = \frac{k + u}{ n_1 + n_2 }[/tex]

=>  [tex]p = \frac{76 + 112}{ 578 + 688 }[/tex]

=>  [tex]p =0.1485[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

[tex]z = \frac{\^ {p}_1 - \^{p}_2}{\sqrt{p(1- p) [\frac{1}{n_1 } + \frac{1}{n_2}  ]}  }[/tex]

=> [tex]z = \frac{ 0.1315  - 0.1628 }{\sqrt{0.1485(1-0.1485) [\frac{1}{578} + \frac{1}{688}  ]}  }[/tex]  

=> [tex]z =  -1.56 [/tex]  

Generally the p-value  is mathematically represented as

          [tex]p-value =  P(z <  -1.56 )[/tex]

From z-table  

         [tex]P(z <  -1.56 ) =  0.05938[/tex]

So

     [tex]p-value =  0.05938 [/tex]

Given problem:

   Which value cannot represent the probability of an event occurring?

      Values:

            [tex]\frac{1}{100}[/tex]    0.29    [tex]\frac{85}{100}[/tex]   Three-halflity

Probability is the likelihood of an event to occur.

For an event that we are sure of occurring, the probability value is 1, and those that cannot occur have a probability value of 0.

  The probability of any event is usually a fraction between 1 and 0.

So we can see that the odd one is the  Three-halflity which is clearly greater than 1.

Suppose you take a simple random sample of size n=175 from the population of Reese's Pieces, still assuming that 45% of this population is orange (LaTeX: \piπ=.45).

What is the probability that a sample proportion of orange candies will be between .35 and .55?

Answers

Answer:

The  probability is  [tex]P(0.35 <X < 0.55) = 0.9921772[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The sample size is  n =  175

   The population proportion is  p =  0.45

   

Generally the mean of the sampling distribution is  [tex]\mu_{x} = 0.45[/tex]

 Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as  

        [tex]\sigma_{x} = \sqrt{\frac{p (1-p)}{n} }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma_{x} = \sqrt{\frac{0.45 (1-0.45)}{175} }[/tex]

=>      [tex]\sigma_{x} = 0.0376[/tex]

Generally the probability of  that the sample proportion of orange candies will be between 0.35 and  0.55 is  

      [tex]P(0.35 < X < 0.55) = P( \frac{0.35 - 0.45}{0.0376} < \frac{X -\mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}} < \frac{0.55 - 0.45}{0.0376} )[/tex]

=>   [tex]P(0.35 <X < 0.55) = P( -2.696 < \frac{X -\mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}} < 2.6595 )[/tex]

Generally [tex]\frac{X - \mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}} = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of X)[/tex]

So

    [tex]P(0.35 <X < 0.55) = P( -2.6596 < Z< 2.6595 )[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(0.35 <X < 0.55) =P( Z< 2.6595 ) - P( Z < -2.6596 )[/tex]

From the z-table  

    [tex]P( Z< 2.6595 ) = 0.99609[/tex]

and

    [tex]P( Z< - 2.6595 ) = 0.0039128[/tex]

So

   [tex]P(0.35 <X < 0.55) =0.99609 - 0.0039128[/tex]

=> [tex]P(0.35 <X < 0.55) = 0.9921772[/tex]

Antonio just signed up for new phone plan and is comparing his fees to that of his friend

number of minutes used

number of minutes used by setting their monthly cost equal, decide after how many minutes the two plans will cost the same

Answers

Answer:

7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Antonio's plan: Monthly cost

3 (.75m + 10) + 2.50m – 15

Marcus's Plan: Monthly cost

2 (1.75m + 12.50) – .75m + 4

where, m = number of minutes used by setting their monthly cost equal

3 (.75m + 10) + 2.50m – 15 = 2 (1.75m + 12.50) – .75m + 4

2.25m + 30 + 2.50m - 15 = 3.5m + 25 - .75m + 4

4.75m + 15 = 2.75m + 29

4.75m - 2.75m = 29 - 15

2m = 14

Divide both sides by 2

m = 14 / 2

= 7

m = 7 minutes
