Answer:
a) |n -11| = 5
b) n ∈ {6, 16}
Step-by-step explanation:
The wording of the question is ridiculous. We assume it is intended to read, "The distance between two numbers is 5. One of the numbers is 11. What are the possibilities for the other?"
a) The distance between a number (n) and 11 can be written as ...
|n -11|
Since we want that distance to be 5, we can write the equation ...
|n -11| = 5
__
b) The equation resolves to two:
Adding 11 to both sides of both equations gives ...
The two solutions are n=6 and n=16.

<em>Comment on the question statement</em>
Increasingly, we see curriculum materials written in Pidgin English or where the words have a meaning different from that understood by a native English speaker. It appears you are the lucky recipient of such materials, so must do occasional "interpretation". Here, it seems that "two time a number" is intended to mean "two numbers."

The answer is the first day.
Answer:
61 commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : We want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within 3 minutes of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be 12 minutes.
To find : How many commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters?
Solution :
At 95% confidence the z-value is z=1.96
The sample mean is within 3 minutes of the population mean i.e. margin of error is E=3 minutes
The population standard deviation is s=12 minutes
n is the number of sample
The formula of margin of error is given by,

Substitute the value in the formula,




Squaring both side,

Therefore, 61 commuters must be randomly selected to estimate the mean driving time of Chicago commuters.
Answer:
The correct answer is 61.08 foot.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the string of the kite, Mr. Black is flying is 65 foot. Thus the length between the kite and Mr. Black is given by 65 foot.
Angle of elevation is 70°.
We need to calculate the height of the kite above Mr. Black's head. The height is given by finding the sine of the angle of elevation.
Let the height be x foot.
Thus sin 70° = 
⇒ x = sin 70° × 65
⇒ x = 61.08
Thus the height of the kite above Mr. Black head is 61.08 foot.
∠1 = ∠2
2x +10 = 3x -6
16 = x . . . . . . . . . . . add 6-2x
Selection B is appropriate.
