Answer:12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b

a-3b=5 ........equation (1)

There product is :

ab=68 ..........equation (2)

From equation (1)

a-3b=5

Make a the subject of the formula

a=5+3b. ........equation (3)

Substitute equation (3) into equation (2)

(5+3b)b=68

3(b^2)+3b-68=0

The product is -204b^2(17 and -12)

(b+17)(b-12)=0

b=-17 or b=12

So the number is 12

-7 x - 2y = -13 <br> x - 2y = 11
VashaNatasha [74]
Well the first one would convert to
-2y= 7x-13 and the second one would be -2y=-x+11 and you solve from there (lmk if you need the steps) but your final answer would be. Y= -7/2x+ 13/2 and y=1/2x - 11/2

When testing a new​ treatment, what is the difference between statistical significance and practical​ significance? Can a treatm
Arada [10]

Answer:

Statistical significance relates to whether an effect exists.

Practical significance refers to the magnitude of the effect.

And you can have statistical significance but not practical.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analize it with an example.

Suppose that your new treatment involves hair recovery.

You divide the population of the test in two different groups.

And you apply the treatment to only one of them.

You can see that the treatment works and there is a 3% improvment.

You have statistical significance. The treatment worked.

Now, if the test was expensive, the 3% improvement might not be practical.
