Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

- $\frac{1}{2}$ (x + 3) > x - 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

- (x + 3) > 2x - 6 ← distribute parenthesis on left side by - 1

- x - 3 > 2x - 6 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

- 3x - 3 > - 6 ( add 3 to both sides )

- 3x > - 3

divide both sides by - 3, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity

x < 1

Answer:

A. x<1

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/2 (x+3) > x - 3

(-1/2)x-3/2>x-3

Multiply both sides by 2:

-x-3>2x-6

add both sides by 3:

-x-3+3>2x-6+3

-x>2x-3

minus both sides by 2x

-x-2x>2x-2x-3

-3x>-3

x<1

matrenka [14]

To answer (a), we will need to find the Z value for 710 hours and 990 hours.

$\begin{gathered} For\text{ 710} \\ Z\text{ = }\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\ \text{ = }\frac{710-850}{70} \\ \text{ = -2} \\ p\text{ =0.0228 } \\ For\text{ 990:} \\ Z\text{ = }\frac{990-850}{70} \\ \text{ =2} \\ p\text{ = 0.9772} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} To\text{ find P \lparen–2 \le Z \le 2\rparen} \\ =\text{ 0.9772 -0.0228} \\ =\text{ 0.9544} \\ =95.44\% \end{gathered}$

B) 68% of data lies between one standard deviation of the mean.

850 +70 = 920

850 - 70 = 780
