Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Two less than three times a number is 28

Let's break it up.

2 less than: -2

3 times a number: 3x (x is representing a number")

is 28: = 28

So, let's put that together.

Two less than three times a number is 28

3x - 2 = 28

Now, let's solve this.

First, let's isolate the x.

To do this, we must add 2 to each side.

3x - 2 = 28

+2 +2

3x - 2 + 2 = 3x

28 + 2 = 30

We have 3x = 30

Now, we must simplify.

To do this, we must divide each side by 3.

This, in term, will tell us what x equals.

3x = 30

--- ----

3 3

3x/3 = x

30/3 = 10

x = 10

Answer:

Interquartile Range= 0.079.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The batting averages for seven baseball players are

0.176, 0.235, 0.272, 0.158, 0.201, 0.255, 0.303

First we have arrange the data in descending order or ascending order.

The ascending order of the data is

0.158, 0.176, 0.201, 0.235, 0.255, 0.272, 0.303

Median: The middle term of the data is the median of the data.

Here

Median = 0.235

First quartile: The median of the lower half of data.

The lower half of the data is 0.158, 0.176, 0.201

$Q_1=0.176$

Third quartile: The median of the upper half of data.

The upper half of the data is 0.201, 0.255, 0.303

$Q_3=0.255$

Interquartile: The difference between first quartile and third quartile.

Interquartile Range = $Q_3-Q_1$

=(0.255- 0.176)

=0.079

Using proportions, it is found that the life span of the person would be 14 years, 212 days and 22 hours shorter.

---------------------------

2 packs a day for 35 years is 40 cigarettes a day for 12775 days, as $35 \times 365 = 12775$ .
Thus, a total of 511000 cigarettes, as $40 \times 12775 = 511000$ .
Assuming each cigarette costs 15 minutes of life, the person loses 7665000 minutes of life, as $15 \times 511000 = 7665000$

One year has 525600 minutes, thus the person loses 14 years of life, as $\frac{7665000}{525600} = 14.5833333$

Looking at the decimal part, the person loses 212 days of life, as $0.5833333 \times 365 = 212.916666655$
Again looking at the decimal part, 22 hours, as $0.916666655 \times 24 = 22$

Thus, the person loses 14 years, 212 days and 22 hours of life.
