Hi there!

Let's start by laying out an equation and replacing "a number" with the letter "X" just to make everything clearer :

6 subtracted from 5 times X = 9

(5 × X) - 6 = 9

Now all you have to do left is solve the equation by isolating "X" :

(5 × X) - 6 = 9

Add 6 on each side of the equation

5 × X = 9

Divide each side of the equation by 5

X = 1.8

Your answer is : 6 subtracted from 5 times 1.8 is equal to 9.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

A point is chosen at random on a line segment of length L. Interpret this statement, and find the probability that the ratio of

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Probability=2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line segment be AB of uniform length and x is distance

$P(\frac{min(x,L-x)}{max(x,L-x)} )$

Case 1 min(x,L-x) then

$=\frac{x}{L-x}\leq 1/4\\x$

Case 2 min(x,L-x)=L-x then

$=\frac{L-x}{x}\frac{4L}{5}\\$

So Probability

$P=\int\limits^{L/5}_0 {f(x)} \, dx+\int\limits^{L}_{4L/5} {f(x)} \, dx\\ P=\int\limits^{L/5}_0 {\frac{1}{L} } \, dx+\int\limits^L_{4L/5} {\frac{1}{L} } \, dx\\ P=\frac{1}{L}(\frac{L}{5} -0+L-\frac{4L}{5} )\\ P=\frac{1}{L} (2L/5)\\P=\frac{2}{5}$

Major ethical issues in conducting research include: Respect for anonymity and confidentiality, beneficence(should not harm participants), and informed consent(independently volunteers after clear comprehensive information on research).

1. Experiment violates informed consent as participants were not aware of the purpose of research.

2. Experiment violates informed consent and beneficence as participants weren't fully informed and faced the risk of being harmed.

3. Experiment violates beneficence and informed consent as participants faced the risk of being harmed and did not independently volunteer for the research.
