Answer: D.) x + x + x + 2 = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A 10-foot board is to be cut into 3 pieces.

Two of the pieces will be the same length and one piece will be 2 feet longer than the other two.

Let x be the length of the each of the two equal pieces .

Then, length of third piece = x+2

According to the question , we have

Combined length of pieces = 10 foot

i.e. x+x+(x+2) = 10

i.e. x+x+x+2= 10  [on removing brackets]

Hence, the equation could be used to solve for the lengths : x + x + x + 2 = 10

So , the correct option is D.

Two-thirds a number plus 4 is 7
ICE Princess25 [194]

The equation (form) is: \frac{2}{3}x + 4 = 7

The solution of the equation is: x = \frac{9}{2}


Explanation:

First, let's call the number we are going to solve for "x".

Then two thirds of this number can be written as:

\frac{2}{3}x

Then "plus 4" means add 4 we get:

\frac{2}{3}x + 4

"is 7" means that the above expression is equal to 7 (as follows):

\frac{2}{3}x + 4 = 7

The solution of the above equation is:

\frac{2}{3}x + 4 = 7 \\ \frac{2}{3}x = 3 \\ x =  \frac{9}{2}

Lucy Baker is analyzing demographic characteristics of two television programs, American Idol (population 1) and 60 Minutes (pop
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0

Or in the alternative way would be:

 Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

On this case the claim that they want to test is: "The means for the two groups (American Idol and 60 Minutes) is the same". So we want to check if we have significant differences between the two means, so this needs to be on the alternative hypothesis and on the null hypothesis we need to have the complement of the alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 = 0

This null hypothesis can be expressed like this:

Null hypothesis:\mu_1 = \mu_2

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0

Or in the alternative way would be:

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2
