If n represents a number then write an expression for two less than one fourth of n

Answer:  \frac{1}{4}n-2

This is the same as \frac{n}{4} - 2 and it is also equivalent to 0.25n-2

=====================================================

Explanation:

n is some placeholder for a number

one fourth of that number is \frac{1}{4}n which is the same as \frac{n}{4} or 0.25n since 1/4 = 0.25

From here, we subtract off 2 to get \frac{1}{4}n-2 as one possible final answer.

The probability that Latisha orders french fries at lunch is .32 and the probability that she orders a grilled cheese and fries
EastWind [94]

There is a typo error in the last part of the question. The corrected part is-

"If the probability that she orders just a grilled cheese sandwich is .76, what is the probability that she will order a grilled cheese or fries?"

Answer:

The probability that she will order a grilled cheese sandwich or fries is <u>0.43.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability of ordering fries is, P(F)=0.32

Probability of ordering cheese sandwich is, P(S)=0.76

Probability of ordering both sandwich and fries is, P(F\cap S)=0.65

Probability of ordering cheese sandwich or fries is given by the union of both the events 'F' and 'S' given as P(F\cup S).

Now, using addition theorem of probability, we get:

P(F\cup S)=P(F)+P(S)-P(F\cap S)\\P(F\cup S)=0.32+0.76-0.65\\P(F\cup S)=0.43

Therefore, probability of ordering cheese sandwich or fries is 0.43.

Which equation represents a proportional relationship? Y=-5(x+1). Y=5x+1. Y=-x. Y=1/5x
Tema [17]
A proportional relationship is also a direct variation.
The general equation of direct cvariation is

y = kx,

where k is a number.

In your case, if k = -1, then y = kx becomes y = (-1)x which is the same as

y = -x

Find the solution set for the following problem. 5 diminished by 3 times a number is at most 11.
leva [86]
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is define the following variable:
 x = unknown number
 We now write the following inequality:
 5-3x <= 11
 We clear x:
 5-11 <= 3x
 -6 <= 3x
 -6/3 <= x
 -2 <= x
 The solution set is:
 [-2, inf)
 Answer:
 
the solution set is:
 
[-2, inf)

Wewaii [24]
<span>Based on the rules of statistics</span>

 68% of the data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean

95% of the data falls within 2 standard deviation of the mean

99% of the data falls within 3 standard deviation of the mean

 20 falls between the range of -56 to 56 (from the given 95%)

Hence we accept the null hypothesis; else, if the mean falls outside the range, we reject the null hypothesis.
