−4(5 − 3x) = 12x + 20

Solve for x:

First use the Distributive property:

-20 + 12x = 12x +20

Add 20 to both sides:

12x =12x + 40

Now you can't get X by itself, because both sides of the equation have the same quantity of x ( they both have 12x).

This means there is no solution.

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:−4(5 − 3x) = 12x + 20

−20 + 12x = 12x + 20

−20 = 20 → Since the values are not equal, there is no solution.

A random sample of 36 observations has been drawn from a normal distribution with mean 50 and standard deviation 12. Find the pr
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

z= \frac{47 -50}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=-1.5

z= \frac{53 -50}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=1.5

And using a calculator, excel ir the normal standard table we have that:

P(47 \leq \bar X \leq 53) =P(-1.5 \leq Z \leq 1.5)

And we can calculate the probability like this:P(-1.5 \leq Z \leq 1.5) = P(zStep-by-step explanation:

A random sample of 36 observations has been drawn from a normal distribution with mean 50 and standard deviation 12. Find the probability that the sample mean is in the interval 47<=X<53. Is the assumption of normality important. Why?

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(50,12)  

Where \mu=50 and \sigma=12

Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

We can find the probability required like this:

z= \frac{47 -50}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=-1.5

z= \frac{53 -50}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{36}}}=1.5

And using a calculator, excel ir the normal standard table we have that:

P(47 \leq \bar X \leq 53) =P(-1.5 \leq Z \leq 1.5)

And we can calculate the probability like this:

P(-1.5 \leq Z \leq 1.5) = P(z

Two armadillos and three aardvarks sat in a five-seat row at the Animal Auditorium. What is the probability that the two animals
Serhud [2]

Answer:

      \dfrac{1}{15}

Explanation:

The number of different ways in which the<em> two armadillos</em> would be at the ends of the row is 2:

                      P(2,2)=\dfrac{2!}{(2-2)!}=\dfrac{2}{0!}=2

The number of different combinations in which<em> two of the three aardvarks </em>can sit at the ends of the row is P(3,2):

          P(3,2)=\dfrac{3!}{(3-2)!}=\dfrac{3\times 2\times 1}{1}=6

Therefore, there are 2 + 6 = 8 different ways in which the two animlas on the ends of the row were both armadillos or both aardvarks.

Now calculate the total number of different ways in which the animals can sit. It is P(5,5):

        P(5,5)=\dfrac{5!}{(5-5)!}=5!=5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1=120

Thus, <em>the probability that the two animals on the ends of the row were both armadillos or both aardvarks</em> is equal to the number of favorable outputs divided by the total number of possible outputs:

      Probability=\dfrac{8}{120}=\dfrac{1}{15}

Mark and his friends order two pizzas of the same size the first pizza is cut into 6 slices of equal size the second pizza is cu
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The first pizza is 6 slices, so each slice is 1/6 of a pizza. The second pizza is 4 slices, so each slice is 1/4 of a pizza. If you were to take one slice of each, you would get 1/6 +1/4 slice, which would be 5/12 of a pizza, as opposed to if you took 2 slices of the first pizza, which would only be 4/12 of a pizza.

Your gross pay is $2,759.00. your involuntary deductions are fica (7.65%), federal withholding (12%), and state withholding (7%)
max2010maxim [7]
Gross pay = $2,759.00
Total deductions = 7.65%+12%+7% = 26.65% = 0.2665

By thumb rule, rent and other fixed expenses ≤ 28% of Monthly gross salary

Therefore,
Allowed housing and fixed expenses = 0.28*2,759 = $772.52

Then, a. is the correct answer.
