Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>hey there,</em>

<em />

< A square has 4 sides that are all always equal to each other. The perimeter is all the sides summed up together. That means (for example), if one side of the square is 2 cm, then we know that the perimeter is 8 cm, because 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 (or 2×4=8).

Here we are given that one side is equal to "x-5". Pretend that is a number and solve as I did just right above:

(x-5)×4 = 4x -20

Now we know that the perimeter is (4x-20) units (when you don't know what the units are then just put "units").

We also know that the perimeter can be a number which is 24. That means these two values are equal to each other.

4x-20 = 24

Now solve! Bring x to one side, and all the numbers to the other side.

4x = 44

x = 11

We now know that the value of one side of the square (x) is equal to 11 units. >

<u>Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.</u>

Multiply

Divide

Subtract



Parenthesis:

3 * 2 = 12

12 - 12 = 0

12 - 0 = 12


10^2 * 12


10 ^ 2 = 144

144 * 12 = 1728


1728 + 15 = 1743

1743 + 6 = 10458

snow_tiger [21]
The scale factor is what u multiply the first image by to get the second image. So by dividing the second image by the first image will give u the scale factor.

6 / 1.5 = 4....so there is a scale factor of 4 because 1.5 * 4 = 6

The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 250.8 and a standard deviation of
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

a) 68%; b) 99.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule states that 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean; and 99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

For part a,

We are asked the approximate percentage of women whose platelet counts are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.  According to the empirical rule, this is 68%.

For part b,

We are given the endpoints of the interval.  The lower endpoint is 181.5; this is 250.8-181.5 = 138.6 away from the mean.  Dividing by the standard deviation, 69.3, we have

138.6/69.3 = 2

This is 2 standard deviations away from the mean.

The higher endpoint is 320.1; this is 320.1-181.5 = 138.6 away from the mean.  Dividing by the standard deviation, 69.3, we have

138.6/69.3 = 2

This is standard deviations away from the mean.

This means this interval includes about 95% of women.

If you can help me it will mean a lot.

Answer:

y - -x + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through (0, 2) and 5, 1) so it slope = (1-2) / (5-0)

= -1 and the y-intercept is  at y = 2 so the equation is

y - -x + 2.
