Answer:
A distribution is skewed when one tail is longer than the other.
Step-by-step explanation:
- A negative skew might be a straight-ish line that will stay constant for some of the chart and then will go up, and finally come down.
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Ordinarily, one would not need the distributive property to solve this equation. It is quickly and easily solved by making use of the multiplication property of equality: multiply both sides of the equation by 1/3.
3x(1/3) = 15(1/3)
x = 5
___
To use the <em>distributive property</em>, we need the sum of two terms that have a common factor. We can get that form by subtracting 15 from both sides of the equation (subtraction property of equality):
3x - 15 = 15 - 15 . . . . subtract 15
3x -15 = 0 . . . . . . . . .simplify
Now, we can apply the distributive property to remove a factor of 3:
3(x -5) = 0
And we can use the multiplication property of equality to multiply by 1/3:
3(1/3)(x -5) = 0(1/3)
x -5 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . simplify
Finally, we can add 5 to both sides of the equation (addition property of equality):
x -5 +5 = 0 +5
x + 0 = 5 . . . . . . simplify
x = 5 . . . . . . . . . .simplify more
Answer:
g = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Both the left and the right sides of this equation -15-2g+6g=1+6g include the term 6g. Cancel these 6g terms. This leaves us with:
-15 - 2g = 1
Next, add 15 to both sides, to isolate the -2g term: -2g = 16
Solving for g via division by -2, we get: g = -8
