Answer:

Option b) -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Twice of a number is equal to number decreased by five.

Let the number be x. Then, this can be written in the form of equation:

2\times x = x-5

Solving the above equation:

2\times x = x-5\\2x-x = -5\\x = -5

Hence, the number is x = -5.

The correct answer is given by the option b) -5.

Serga [27]

Answer:

Normally Distributed.

Explanation:

After plugging all those numbers into a calculator you can see that the graph isn't left skewed, making both "left skewed" and "all of the above" <em>not an answer.</em> "correlated with a second set of data" is also <em>wrong</em> since there was no second set of data given. That leaves you between "uniformly distributed" and "normally distributed" This graph doesn't show a uniformly distributed graph, which leaves you with the final answer, normally distributed.
