Answer:

The number will be -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the number as x.

Given:

⇒ 5 less than twice a number that will be 2x - 5, which is equal to half the difference of three times the number and 13

We have to find the number.

Solution:

The difference of three times the number and 13 could be represented as : 3x - 13

The value be equal to \frac{1}{2} of this 3x - 13 ⇒ \frac{1}{2}  ( 3x - 13 )

As we can see here,

  • That we got a equation ⇒ 2x - 5 = \frac{1}{2}  ( 3x - 13 )

Now, we can solve the above equation:

2x - 5 = \frac{1}{2}  ( 3x - 13 )

We have multiply both sides by 2 ⇒ 4x - 10 = 3x - 13

then, ⇒ x - 10 = -13

   ⇒   x = -3  

Hence we can say that number which was assumed as x will be -3.

A quiz in statistics course has four multiple-choice questions, each with five possible answers. A passing grade is three or mor
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

a) 0.0016

b) 0.0224

Step-by-step explanation:

If every question has 5 possible answers, the probability of getting the correct answer by guessing would be 0.20. The probability of getting an incorrect answer would be 0.80.

a)Find the probability she lucks out and answers all four questions correctly.

To do this, Allison would have to guess right the first, second, third AND fourth answers. Therefore, we have to multiply the probabilities:

0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 = 0.0016

The probability that she answers all 4 questions correctly is 0.0016.

b) Find the probability that she passes the quiz.

To pass the quiz, she has to have three OR 4 correct answers:

  1. The probability that she has 3 correct answers is: 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.80 (since she has to have 1 correct answer and 1 incorrect one) = .0064.
  2. We already calculated the probability that she guesses 4 answers correctly: 0.0016.

Now, we have to sum up these two scenarios:

0.0064 + 0.016 = 0.0224.

Thus, the probability that she passes the quiz is 0.0224

Given:
two pieces of wood that are 5 feet long each.
form a triangle with a perimeter of a whole number.
third side the triangle will be the house 

Since two sides are already of the same length, he can create an isosceles triangle. 

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal angles.

Assuming that the 3rd side is also 5 feet long, then, he can create an equilateral triangle.

An equilateral triangle has three equal sides and three equal angles, measuring 60° each angle.

An arrow on a spinner is spun 250 times. Some of the results are shown below. The relative frequency of landing on a 4 is the sa
N76 [4]

Answer:

11/50

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency numbers for landing on 1, 2, and 3 are:

25, 53, 62.

We add them up to get: 25 + 53 + 62 = 140

Since 250 spins were made, and 140 of them landed on 1, 2, or 3, then

250 - 140 = 110,

so 110 landed on 4 or 5.

We are told the numbers of spins landing on 4 and 5 are equal, so

110/2 = 55,

so the spinner landed 55 times on 4 and 55 times on 5.

relative frequency = 55/250 = 11/50
