Answer:

x = 15 \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangles have 3 equal sides.

Thus, perimeter of triangle

= 3(2x -3)

= 3(2x) +3(-3) <em>(</em><em>expand</em><em>)</em>

= (6x -9) inches

Given that the perimeter is 83 inches,

6x -9= 83

6x= 83 +9 <em>(</em><em>+</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>

6x= 92

x = 15 \frac{1}{3}

1. All of the following are true except B. A. A random variable represents a numerical value assigned to an outcome of a probabi
kolezko [41]

Answer:

The true statements are :

A. A random variable is a numerical description of the outcome of a statistical experiment.

B. In most​ applications, discrete random variables represent counted​ data.

C. In most applications, continuous random variables represent measured data.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is true statement that,

A. A random variable is a numerical description of the outcome of a statistical experiment.

B. In most​ applications, discrete random variables represent counted​ data.

C. In most applications, continuous random variables represent measured data.

The false statement is -

D. The expected value of a discrete random variable is equal to the standard deviation of the random variable.

Reason -

The mean value, or expected value, of a discrete random variable X is given by the following equation:

μ = E(x) = ∑ x p(x)

And

The variance of a discrete random variable is given by the following formula:

σ²=∑ (x−μ)² P(x)

And

The square root of the variance, or, in other words, the square root of σ², is the standard deviation of a discrete random variable :

σ = √σ²

FOR WHICH POLYGON ARE BOTH x= -1 and y= -2 lines of symmetry? ILL BRAINLIEST YOU IF YOU GET IT RIGHT HELP ME PLZ
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of symmetry is a line that splits the figure into 2 halves where each half is a mirror image of the other. In the third figure, if a line is drawn through x = -1, the halves mirror each other. If a line is drawn through y = -2, the top and bottom halves mirror each other.

A gas station charges $2.19 per gallon of gas. use function notation to describe the relationship between the total cost c(g) an
Butoxors [25]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable:
 g: number of gallons of gas.
 c (g): total cost.
 We then have a linear function of the form:
 c (g) = 2.19 * g
 Answer:
 
A function notation to describe the relationship between the total cost c (g) and the number of gallons purchased is:
 
c (g) = 2.19 * g
