There’s two ways to complete this problem.
First way:
Let’s see if y can be multiplied by anything to get to x. We should divide y by x.
35/140
.25
So it looks like y will be 1/4 of x.
Since we know that, we can find the value of y using this equation.
.25x=y
.25•70
17.5
So the value of y when x=70 is 17.5
Second way:
As you can tell, they want us to find the value of y when x is half of what it was before.
140:35
70:y
All we have to do is divide 35 by 2 since that’s what we did to the other side.
35/2=17.5
When x is 70, y is 17.5.

What is the difference between a parameter and a statistic? A parameter is an aspect of an individual subject or object being me
Aliun [14]

Answer:

A parameter is a numerical measurement describing data from a population. A statistic is a numerical measurement describing data from a sample

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics we have to deal with populations and samples to carry out our studies. A population is a large group under consideration and the elements or members of the population have some common features or attributes. For example, all the school going kids in a certain town will be considered a population. Sample on the other hand is a subset(a part) of the population. For example, all school going kids in the town aged 5-6 years will be considered a sample.

The term Parameter and Statistic are very similar as they represent some numeric description. Parameter represents the data of the entire population, while statistic represents that data of a sample. An easy way to remember this is to match the initials i.e. Parameter for Population and Statistic for Sample.

Considering this, we can say the correct answer is:

A parameter is a numerical measurement describing data from a population. A statistic is a numerical measurement describing data from a sample

Darias bought 5 school binders that cost $8.00 per
Natalka [10]

Answer:

$25.44

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the original cost of the binders:

5(8)

= $40

Find the cost with the 40% discount:

40(0.6)

= $24

Find the cost with the 6% sales tax:

24(1.06)

= $25.44

So, the total cost of the binders was $25.44

A 236 inch board is cut into two pieces. one piece is three times the length of the other. find the length of the two pieces
kirill [66]

let length of one piece = x

length of other piece = 236-x

one piece is three times the length of the other

x=3(236-x)

x=708-3x

4x=708

x=177

so first piece is 177 inches long and second piece is (236-177)= 59 inches long
