The answer is 4 = P, because you have to distribute then combine like terms.
Answer:
The statement that cushion A is twice as popular as cushion B cannot be verified
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Sample size n=38
Type a size A 
Type a size B
Generally the probability of choosing cushion A P(a) is mathematically given by


Generally the equation for A to be twice as popular as B is mathematically given by

Therefore Hypothesis

Generally the equation normal approx of p value is mathematically given by



Therefore from distribution table


Therefore there is no sufficient evidence to disagree with the Null hypothesis 
Therefore the statement that cushion A is twice as popular as cushion B cannot be verified
Answer:
b=4
Step-by-step explanation:
So, we have the function
. We need to find b such that the average rate of change or the slope is -1/8 between the intervel [2, b]. First, let's find f(2).
f(2) = 1/(2) = 1/2
So, we have the point (2, 1/2)
At point b, f(b) = 1/b.
Let's plug this into the slope formula:

Now, we just need to solve for b. First, let's multiply both the numerator and denominator by b (to get rid of the annoying fraction in the numerator).

Now, cross multiply.


Solve for b. Factor using the numbers -4 and -2.

Thus, b=4 or b=2.
However, b=2 is not a possible solution since the interval [2,2] means nothing. Thus, b=4.
