The possible values of x is x > 10

<h3>How to determine the possible values of x?</h3>

The dimension of the rectangle is given as:

Length = 6

Width = x + 2

The area is calculated as;

Area = Length * width

So, we have

Area = 6 * (x + 2)

The area is greater than 72

So, we have

6 * (x + 2) > 72

Divide by 6

x + 2 > 12

Subtract 2 from both sides

x > 10

Hence, the possible values of x is x > 10

Consider a random variable Y. What is the difference between the sample average and the population mean? The population mean is

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The population mean is a true measure of the central tendency of the distribution of Y whereas the sample average is an estimator of the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of all the statements given the correct statement is:

The population mean is a true measure of the central tendency of the distribution of Y whereas the sample average is an estimator of the population mean.

A sample mean is calculated from a dataset that is sampled out of the entire population data. And this sample mean is used to estimate or predict the population mean

Find the equation of a line in slope intercept form, passing through (2,5) and parallel to 2x+3y=-12

$2x+3y=-12\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ 3y=-2x-12\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ y=- \frac{2}{3} x-4\\\\y=mx+b\ \ ||\ \ y=- \frac{2}{3} x-4\ \ \ \Leftrightarrow\ \ \ m=-\frac{2}{3}\\\\the\ point\ slope\ form:\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\ \ \ and\ \ \ (x_1,y_1)=(2,5)\\\\y-5=-\frac{2}{3}(x-2) \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ y-5=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{4}{3}\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ y=-\frac{2}{3}x+5+1\frac{1}{3} \\\\the\ slope\ intercept\ form:\ \ \ y=-\frac{2}{3}x+6\frac{1}{3}\\\\ the\ slope:\ m=- \frac{2}{3},\ \ \ the\ intercept:\ b=6\frac{1}{3}$

Mrs. Galindo decided to make Kool-Aid to serve along with the pizza at the Future Farmers of America party. The directions said

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The direction's constant of proportionality is 4. k = 2/0.5 There are 4 gallons of water per one scoop. The student is incorrect because 4 pitchers does not equal 4 scoops times 2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Direction :

1/2 of a scoop + 2 gallons = 1 pitcher

Mrs. Galindo's students:

4 pitcher = 4 scoops + 2 gallons of water

Correct mixture for 4 pitchers:

1/2 scoop + 2 gallons of water =1 pitcher

For 4 pichers, multiply both sides by 4

1/2(4) scoops + 2(4) gallons of water =4 pitchers

4/2 scoops + 8 gallons of water =4 pitchers

2 scoops + 8 gallons of water =4 pitchers

The direction's constant of proportionality is 4. k = 2/0.5 There are 4 gallons of water per one scoop. The student is incorrect because 4 pitchers does not equal 4 scoops times 2 gallons
