First you distribute the negative in front of -(x-7)

then you get 
-2x-1-x+7
then you can simplify easily
to get
-2x-x-1+7

= -3x+6

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of mu equals 105 and a standard deviation sigma equa
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:   0.6827

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean IQ score : \mu=105

Standard deviation : \sigma=15

We assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed .

Let x be the random variable that represents the IQ score of adults .

z-score : z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x= 90

z=\dfrac{90-105}{15}\approx-1

For x= 120

z=\dfrac{120-105}{15}\approx1

By using the standard normal distribution table , we have

The p-value : P(90

P(z

Hence,  the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 90 and 120 =0.6827

Josh has 4 times as many pears as leya, who has one half as many pears as amy. If josh has 32 pears how many does amy have?
arlik [135]
<h3>The number of pears Amy has is 16.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J represent the number of pears Josh has.

Let L represent the number of pears Leya has.

Let A represent the number of pears Amy has.

From the question given above,

Josh (J) = 4 × Leya (L)

J = 4L ....... (1)

Leya (L) = ½ × Amy (A)

L = ½A ........ (2)

Next, we shall determine the number of pears Leya has. This can be obtained as follow:

From equation 1

J = 4L

But

Josh (J) = 32 pears

Thus,

32 = 4L

Divide both side by 4

L = 32 / 4

<h3>Leya (L) = 8 pears </h3>

Finally, we shall determine the number pears Amy has. This can be obtained as follow:

From equation 2

L = ½A

But

Leya (L) = 8 pears

Thus,

8 = ½A

Cross multiply

A = 8 × 2

<h3>Amy (A) = 16 pears </h3>

Therefore, Amy has 16 pears.

No one is answering i posted this question 2 times, this is my 3rd time please answer.
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

First, fill in 3 boxes of the table using the given information (blue numbers on the attached table)

"Of the 32 students that have a cell phone, 19 students do not have a tablet."

The top row of the table is students who have a cell phone.  Therefore, place 19 in the box in this row that is in the "no tablet" column.

"Of the 70 students that have a tablet, 57 students do not have a cell phone."

The first column of the table is students who have a tablet.  Therefore, place 57 in the box in the 2nd row of this column.

"11 students do not have a cell phone or a tablet."

Find the "no cell phone" row and the "no tablet" column and place 11 in the box that coincides.

We can calculate the blank totals using addition (shown by green numbers on the attached table)

  • Total students with no cell phone = 57 + 11 = 68
  • Total students with no tablet = 19 + 11 = 30

To calculate the number of students who have a cell phone AND a tablet:

⇒ Total students with a cell phone <em>minus</em> students with a cell phone but no tablet

⇒ 32 - 19 = 13
