Answer:

Let that number be 'x'

Now first part of the question tells us that 8 less than twice a number which is"x".

so twice a number would be 2x

then 8 less than would 2x-8

and the given result of the equation is 14

so the equation iis 2x-8=14

2x=14+8

2x=22

x=22/2

x=11 So the number is 11

Hope you find it helpful

svp [43]

Answer:

22.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a binomial experiment study, in a certain community showed that 5% of the people suffer from insomnia

i.e p = 0.05

q=0.95

n=10400

np=10400*0.05=202\\npq =494

Var(x)=npq=494\\std dev=\sqrt{494} \\=22.23

the standard deviation of the number of people who suffer from insomnia

=22.23

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a(1) = -7 (given)

a(2) = a(1) + 4 = -7 + 4 = -3

a(3) = a(2) + 4 = -3 + 4 = 1

a(4) = a(3) + 4 = 1 + 4 = 5

and so on.

QUESTION 1: To the nearest tenth, what is the area of a circle whose diameter is 21 inches? Use 3.14 for π . Enter your answer i
Rashid [163]
QUESTION 1: To the nearest tenth, what is the area of ​​a circle whose diameter is 21 inches? Use 3.14 for π. Enter your answer in the box.
 The area of ​​a circle given its diametrom by definition is:
 A = pi * (d / 2) ^ 2
 Substituting the value of the diameter we have and applying 3.14 for the value of pi, we have:
 A = (3.14) * (21/2) ^ 2
 A = 346.185
 Round to the nearest tenth:
 A = 346.2 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 The area of ​​a circle whose diameter is 21 inches is:
 A = 346.2 in ^ 2
 QUESTION 2: What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 5.4 inches?
 
Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
 By definition, the circumference of a circle is given by:
 C = 2 * pi * r
 Where,
 r : radius of the circumference
 Substituting the values ​​we have:
 C = 2 * (3.14) * (5.4)
 C = 33,912 in
 Round to the nearest tenth:
 C = 33.9 in
 Answer:
 The circumference of a circle with a radius of 5.4 inches is:
 C = 33.9 in
 QUESTION 3: A scale model of an ancient Egyptian pyramid is 29 centimeters high, with a base length of 46 centimeters. The height of the real pyramid is 145 meters. What is the base length of the real pyramid? Enter your answer, in simplest form, in the box.
 The first thing we must do in this case is to find the scale factor.
 For this we use the relationship between the heights.
 We have then:
 145 = k * 0.29
 From here, let's clear k:
 k = (145) / (0.29)
 k = 500
 We now apply the scale factor to find the actual length of the base:
 b = k * 0.46
 b = 500 * 0.46
 b = 230 m
 Answer:
 
The base length of the real pyramid is:
 b = 230 m

 QUESTION 4: Which expression is equivalent to 13 (4-5x-1)?
 For this case what you should do is rewrite the expression:
 13 ((4-1) -5x)
 13 (3-5x)
 Now we apply the commutative property:
 39-65x
 Answer: 
 An expression that is equivalent to 13 (4-5x-1) is:
 39-65x
