Solve x for -2x- 1 = -7

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 1 on both sides.

We get:

-2x = -6

Now divide -6 by -2...

-6/-2 = 3

Answer 2

-2x -1 = -7

add the "-1" on both sides, -2x -1 +1 = -7 +1

-2x = -6

divide "-2" on both sides, -2x/-2 = -6/-2

x = 3

At a large company banquet for several thousand employees and their families, many of the attendees became ill the next day. The company doctor suspects that the illness may be related to the fish, one of three options for the main course. Because all the dinner guests had to preorder their meal, the doctor was able to randomly select and contact 80 people that ate the fish, of which 64 people got sick. The doctor also randomly selected (and contacted) 60 people that did not eat the fish, of which 39 people got sick. The doctor also knows that at least 1000 attendees ordered the fish.

Required:
a. Is this convincing evidence that the true proportion of all attendees who ate the fish that got sick is more than the true proportion of all attendees who did not eat the fish that got sick?
b. Which mistake (a Type I error or a Type II error) could you have made? Interpret the potential error in context.

Answers

Answer:

a. Yes.  This provides convincing evidence that the true proportion of all attendees who ate the fish that got sick (80%) is more than the true proportion of all attendees who did not eat the fish that got sick.

b. The mistake here would have been the rejection of the Doctor's theory or hypothesis to the effect that more attendees who ate the fish got sick than those who did not eat the fish. This is a Type 1 error.   A Type 1 error occurs when a null hypothesis is rejected when it is true. On the other hand, a Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is accepted when it should be rejected.  While a Type I error is equivalent to a false positive, a Type II error is equivalent to a false negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of attendees who ordered fish = 1,000

Sample size of the attendees who ate fish = 80

Number of attendees who ate the fish and got sick = 64 (80% or 64/80)

Sample size of attendees who did not eat fish = 60

Number of attendees who did not eat fish and got sick = 39 (65% or 39/60)

Part A: The given evidence is convincing to provide the true proportion regarding the attendees.

Part B: The error is a type 1 error in the hypothesis testing.

Type 1 Error and Type 2 Error

A type 1 error in hypothesis testing occurs when a null hypothesis is rejected when it is true.

A type II error in hypothesis testing occurs when the investigator fails to reject the null hypothesis that is actually false.  

Given that, the total number of attendees who ordered fish is 1000. The random selection for the sample size of the attendees who ate fish is 80 of which 64 people got sick.

The number of attendees who ate the fish and got sick is calculated as given below.

No. of attendees =[tex]\dfrac {64}{80}[/tex]

% of No. of attendees = [tex]\dfrac {64}{80}\times 100[/tex]

% of No. of attendees = 80%

The random selection for the sample size of the attendees who did not eat fish is 60 of which 39 people got sick.

The number of attendees who did not eat the fish and got sick is calculated as given below.

No. of attendees  = [tex]\dfrac {39}{60}[/tex]

% of No. of attendees =[tex]\dfrac {39}{60} \times 100[/tex]

% of No. of attendees = 65%

Part A

The given evidence is convincing to provide the true proportion of all attendees who ate the fish that got sick is more than the true proportion of all attendees who did not eat the fish that got sick.

Part B

The mistake here is that the doctor's theory (hypothesis) got rejected regarding the number of attendees who ate the fish got sick than those who did not eat the fish.

This error is a type 1 error in the hypothesis testing.

Cost of five lemons is $2.
What is the cost per lemon?
Answer: $
per lemon
Part B
At this rate, what is the cost of 9 lemons?

Answers

Answer:

Part a: $0.40 per lemon,  Part b: $3.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the cost of five lemons is $2, it would be: 5 lemon = $2

$2/5 lemons = $x/1 lemon

so divide by 5 on the numerator and denominator. 2 divided by 5 = 0.4

So part a: 40 cents or $0.40 per lemon!

Part B:

cost of 1 lemon compared to 9 lemons:

$0.40/1 = x/9

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 9

So, it costs $3.60 for 9 lemons.

Ricky spent $44 total on a baseball mitt and a ball. If the mitt cost
$2 more than 5 times the cost of the ball, find the cost of each
item.

Answers

Answer:

The baseball mitt was $37 and the ball was $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the cost of the mitt and let b represent the cost of the ball

Set up a system of equations:

m + b = 44

m = 5b + 2

Solve by substitution by plugging in 5b + 2 as m in the first equation:

5b + 2 + b = 44

Solve for b:

6b + 2 = 44

6b = 42

b = 7

Plug in 7 into the first equation and solve for m:

m + b = 44

m + 7 = 44

m = 37

So, the baseball mitt was $37 and the ball was $7

Step-by-step explanation:

When surveys incorporates a large number of people of a whole population, coupled with the fact that subjects of the survey or research are not compelled to make a choice or air their opinion. In the scenario above, opinion about the new policy is to be expressed by a large audience whereby there is a high tendency that some will no interest in the news nor its content. Leaving only those audience who are more interested and likely the most affected by the policy to respond. This way there will be no distinction between those who disagree and those who fail to respond. It would be more advisable to employ a sample audience who are interested and woykd give a verdict on the policy.

Answer:

-6 a b + b + a

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-(a - b + a b) - a b - 4 a b + 2 b - 2 b + 3 a - a

Hint: | Group like terms in 3 a - 2 b - a b - (a b - b + a) - 4 a b + 2 b - a.

Grouping like terms, 3 a - 2 b - a b - (a b - b + a) - 4 a b + 2 b - a = -(a b - b + a) + (-a b - 4 a b) + (3 a - a) + (2 b - 2 b):

-(a b - b + a) + (-a b - 4 a b) + (3 a - a) + (2 b - 2 b)

Hint: | Combine like terms in -a b - 4 a b.

a b (-1) + a b (-4) = -5 a b:

-(a b - b + a) + -5 a b + (3 a - a) + (2 b - 2 b)

Hint: | Combine like terms in 3 a - a.

3 a - a = 2 a:

-(a b - b + a) - 5 a b + 2 a + (2 b - 2 b)

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

2 b - 2 b = 0:

-(a b - b + a) - 5 a b + 2 a

Hint: | Distribute -1 over a b - b + a.

-(a b - b + a) = -a b + b - a:

-a b + b - a - 5 a b + 2 a

Hint: | Group like terms in -a b - 5 a b + b + 2 a - a.

Grouping like terms, -a b - 5 a b + b + 2 a - a = (-a b - 5 a b) + b + (-a + 2 a):

(-a b - 5 a b) + b + (-a + 2 a)

Hint: | Combine like terms in -a b - 5 a b.

a b (-1) + a b (-5) = -6 a b:

factor 1/8 out of 1/8x-49/8​

Answers

Answer:

1/8(x - 49)

Step-by-step explanation:

When we factor out something, we are basically finding common factors from multiple terms to take out. Example:

ab + ac; factored out: a(b + c)

If we want to factor out 1/8 from 1/8x - 49/8, we simply divide the two terms by 1/8.

[tex]\frac{1/8}{1/8x}[/tex] The 1/8 cancel out giving us x so:

1/8(x - __)

The next term,

[tex]\frac{49/8}{1/8}[/tex]

When two fractions divide, you flip the bottom one and multiply them both,

[tex]\frac{49}{8} *\frac{8}{1}[/tex]

giving us 49.

The answer is: 1/8(x - 49)
