Answer:

I want to answer 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

As for  how to solve it I don't really know I would use process of elimination because the answer can't be so high that it's 45%  so that's out. Personally I think that 35% is pretty high to so my best educated guess would be between 25% and 15% . Sorry this isn't more helpful.

klio [65]

Answer:

Thirty-two percent of fish in a large lake are bass. Imagine scooping out a simple random sample of 15 fish from the lake and observing the sample proportion of bass. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution? Determine whether the 10% condition is met.

A.  The standard deviation is 0.8795. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 150 bass in the lake.

B. The standard deviation is 0.8795. The 10% condition is not met because there are less than 150 bass in the lake.

C. The standard deviation is 0.1204. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 150 bass in the lake.

D. The standard deviation is 0.1204. The 10% condition is not met because there are less than 150 bass in the lake.

E. We are unable to determine the standard deviation because we do not know the sample mean. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 150 bass in the lake

The answer is E.

Round 287.9412 to the nearest tenth. Do not write extra zeros.
goldenfox [79]
Salutations!

<span>Round 287.9412 to the nearest tenth. 

Lets solve this!

To round to the nearest tenth, you need to know the tenth place--------

In the number, 287.9412, nine is in the tenth place. You need also make sure whether the number next to 9 is greater than 5 or not. 

</span><span>287.9412 =287.941=287.94=287.9=288=290

Thus, your answer is 290.

Hope I helped.

Manuela solved the equation 3−2|0.5x+1.5|=2 for one solution. Her work is shown below. 3−2|0.5x+1.5|=2 −2|0.5x+1.5|=−1 |0.5x+1.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll just work on solving both so you can see what's involved in solving an absolute value equation. Because an absolute value is a distance, we can have that distance being both to the right on the number line of the number in question or to the left. For example, from 2 on the number line, the numbers that are 5 units away are 7 and -3. Using that logic, we will simplify the equation down so we can set up the 2 basic equations needed to solve for x.

If  3-2|.5x+1.5|=2 then

-2|.5x+1.5|=-1  What you need to remember here is that you cannot distribute into a set of absolute values like you would a set of parenthesis. The -2 needs to be divided away:

|.5x+1.5|=.5

Now we can set up the 2 main equations for this which are

.5x + 1.5 = .5  and .5x + 1.5 = -.5

Knowing that an absolute value will never equal a negative number (because absolute values are distances and distances will NEVER be negative), once we remove the absolute value signs we can in fact state that the expression on the left can be equal to a negative number on the right, like in the second equation above.

Solving the first one:

.5x = -1 so

x = -2

Solving the second one:

.5x = -2 so

x = -4
