"one less than the product of a number and 3 is 5 more than the number itself"

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrej [43]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  the number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you'd like to find the number.

If n represents the number, we can write the relationship as ...

  3n -1 = n +5

Adding 1-n to both sides gives ...

  2n = 6

  n = 3 . . . . divide by 2

The number is 3.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The product of the number and 3 is 9. One less is 8. That is 5 more than the number itself: 8 = 3 + 5.

Which sample fairly represents the population? Check all that apply. measuring the heights of every fiftieth person on the schoo
solniwko [45]
Option 1:

<span>Measuring the heights of every fiftieth person on the school roster to determine the average heights of the boys in the school
</span>
Comment: this might not be a good idea for fairness as we only wish to determine average height of the boys. Taking a group of 50 people randomly, might not give us the same number of boys every time.

Option 2: 

<span>Calling every third person on the soccer team’s roster to determine how many of the team members have completed their fundraising assignment 

Comment: The context doesn't seem to need a sampling. The number of players in a soccer team is considerably small. We can find exact data by asking in person.

Option 3:
</span><span>
Observing every person walking down Main Street at 5 p.m. one evening to determine the percentage of people who wear glasses
</span>
Comment: To get a more accurate result and fairer sampling, the period of observing could have been longer, for example, observing for 12 hours on that day, or an alternative is to observe at 5 pm for 7 days in a row. It could happen that no one walking down the Main street precisely at 5 pm wears glasses, or it could happen the other way around.

Option 4: 

<span>Sending a confidential e-mail survey to every one-hundredth parent in the school district to determine the overall satisfaction of the residents of the town taking a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat lunch) to determine the number of students who want to be able to leave campus during lunch.

Comment: This sampling does fairly represent the population, although it might be an idea to scale down the sample population, i.e. every fiftieth parent. 

Answer: Option 4</span>
