convert it to a equation:

7x+8=5x+4

move x's to a side and numbers to the other

2x=-4

divide by 2

x=-2

Let us consider the number to be 'n'.

<u>Given condition</u> :

  • 7n + 8 = 5n + 4

<u>Subtract '5n' from each side</u> :

  • 7n + 8 - 5n = 5n + 4 - 5n
  • 2n + 8 = 4

<u>Subtract '8' from each side</u> :

  • 2n + 8 - 8 = 4 - 8
  • 2n = -4

<u>Divide '2' from each side</u> :

  • 2n/2 = -4/2
  • \fbox {n = -2}

∴ The number is -2.

How to find the volume of each figure
nignag [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cube =  Height x Width x Depth

Cylinder = Area of the bottom x Height (Area of the bottom = \pi r^{2} )

Cone = \frac{1}{3} Area of the bottom x Height (Area of the bottom = \pi r^{2} )

Pyramid = Base Area x Pyramid height

Right rectangular pyramid = Base length x Base width x Pyramid height

Sphere = \frac{4}{3}\pi  r^{3} (r is the radius of the sphere)

) Explain why the sample midrange might be preferred to the sample mean as an estimator of the population mean.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

It is a good Estimator of the Population Mean because the distribution of the sample midrange is just same as the distribution of the random variable.

Step-by-step explanation: from the table,

Minimum value = 34

maximum values = 1084

The sample mid-range can be computed as:

(Min.value + max.value)/2

(34 + 1084)/2

Sample mid-range = 55

The sample midrange uses only a small portion of the data, but can be heavily affected by outliers.

It provides information about the skewness and heavy-tailedness of the distribution which is just same as the distribution of the random variable.

The nature of this distribution is not intuitive but the Central Limit in which it will approach a normal distribution for large sample size.

Our teacher had1/2 of an eraser left.she gave that to her 2 students equally.how much of the eraser did every student take home
iogann1982 [59]
Hello,

If the teacher has 1/2 of an eraser, and she divides it into 2 pieces to give 1 to each of her students, she gives (1/2) / 2 = (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 of the eraser to each student.

Each student takes home 1/4 of the eraser.

Hope this helps!
