Which expression represents "12 less than the product of n and 5"?

$\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}}$

12-5n

$\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{How\:to\:Solve:-}}}}$

First of all, the "product" indicates that you multiply these numbers.

Here we are asked to multiply a number n times 5. This can be written as follows:

$\red{\textsf{\textbf{5n}}}$

Now, "12 less" indicates that we subtract 12 from something; in this case, this "something" is 5n:

$\red{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{12-5n}}}}$

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit volume explains it all.

Volumes are measured in units of length cubed. This also is the volume occupied by unit cubes.

By unit cubes, I meant, view the photo above

The volume of an object's says, how many of these cubes will fill that object.

It may not necessarily by a whole number.

So, the answer is Option A

Here is a uniform probability distribution.

Darya [45]

a) $P(4\le X\le6)=\dfrac25$ because it is equal to the area of the shaded region between X=4 and X=6, and the probability that X falls within some interval is given by the area under the PDF.

b) $a=3$ because the shaded region is a rectangle of height 1/5 (by virtue of X following a uniform distribution over the interval [2, 7], which has length 5).
