Set 9: Linear Equations

Explanation

Answer: C

Solve for xx: z=xμσz = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}

A.

x = z\sigma - \mu

B.

x = (z + \mu) / \sigma

C.

x = z\sigma + \mu

✓ Correct
D.

x = z / \sigma + \mu

Detailed Explanation

Choice C is correct. Choice Ahoice B is the correct answer. 1. Start: z=xμσz = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} 2. Multiply by σ\sigma: zσ=xμz\sigma = x - \mu 3. Add μ\mu: x=zσ+μx = z\sigma + \mu Choice Ahoice C is incorrect because sign error. Choice Ahoice D is incorrect because division instead of multiplication. Choice Ahoice C is incorrect because algebra error.

Key Steps:

The correct answer is x = z\sigma + \mu

Why others are wrong:
A: Choice A is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
B: Choice B is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
D: Choice D is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
