Hey there :)

Before translating the sentence into mathematics, let r represent 'a number'

5 times a number = 5r
2 times that number = 2r

The difference between them = 5r - 2r 

* Your equation 
5r - 2r

* Solving the equation 
= 5r - 2r
= 3r

Dear Math Helper,

Answer:

n = 98, that is, she scored at the 98th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

She scored 38, so X = 38

Test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 6.4.

This means that \mu = 25, \sigma = 6.4

Find the percentile:

We have to find the pvalue of Z. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{38 - 25}{6.4}

Z = 2.03

Z = 2.03 has a pvalue of 0.98(rounding to two decimal places).

So n = 98, that is, she scored at the 98th percentile.

What does x equal? 2x-8=2x+6+x
Charra [1.4K]
2x-8=2x+6+x    first put all the like terms together
2x-8=3x+6        subtract 2s from both sides
-8=x+6               subtract 6 from both sides
-14=x                  then it is your final answer! 

Hope this helps! Please give me the brainliest answer if you like it! If you have further questions, please leave a comment or add me as a friend!

A researcher conducted a hypothesis test to see if students on average spend more than 1 hour per homework assignment. The level
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

a. True

Step-by-step explanation:

By ∝= 5% we mean that there are about 5 chances in 100 of incorrectly rejecting a true null hypothesis. To put it in another way , we say that we are 95% confident in making the correct decision.

In the given question the null hypothesis is

H0: u ≤ 1 hour and Ha:  u > 1 hour

So there is a 5% chance that the erroneous conclusion will be made that students spend on average more than 1 hour per assignment.

The given statement is true.

Pls help asap I will mark brainlist
Luba_88 [7]

<u>Answer</u>:

A. y = \frac{-2}{3}x + 3

<u>Explanation</u>:

slope: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

         : \frac{1-3}{3-0}

         : \frac{-2}{3}

equation: y - y1 = m( x - x1 )

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

                y = \frac{-2}{3}x + 3
