<h2>Solution :- </h2>

Let the number be "x" , then according to the question :

• 2x - 12 = -8

Further solving

→ 2x = -8 + 12

→ 2x = 4 .

→ x = 2

★ Solution :

Let number be n.

\rule{130}{1}

☯ \underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: Question\:now :}}

:\implies\sf 2n - 12 = -8  \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2n = -8 + 12\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2n = 4\\\\\\:\implies\sf n = \dfrac{4}{2}\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\sf n = 2}}\:\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup\bf{Required\: number}\Bigg\rgroup

\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{The required number is \textbf{2}}}.

In studies for a​ medication, 3 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 643 patients are randomly selected.
timofeeve [1]

Part a)

It was given that 3% of patients gained weight as a side effect.

This means

p = 0.03

q = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97

The mean is

\mu  = np

\mu = 643 \times 0.03 = 19.29

The standard deviation is

\sigma =  \sqrt{npq}

\sigma =  \sqrt{643 \times 0.03 \times 0.97}

\sigma =4.33

We want to find the probability that exactly 24 patients will gain weight as side effect.

P(X=24)

We apply the Continuity Correction Factor(CCF)

P(24-0.5<X<24+0.5)=P(23.5<X<24.5)

We convert to z-scores.

P(23.5 \: < \: X \: < \: 24.5) = P( \frac{23.5 - 19.29}{4.33} \: < \: z \: < \:  \frac{24.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\  = P( 0.97\: < \: z \: < \:  1.20) \\  = 0.051

Part b) We want to find the probability that 24 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.

P(X≤24)

We apply the continuity correction factor to get;

P(X<24+0.5)=P(X<24.5)

We convert to z-scores to get:

P(X \: < \: 24.5) = P(z \: < \:  \frac{24.5 - 19.29}{4.33} )  \\ =   P(z \: < \: 1.20)  \\  = 0.8849

Part c)

We want to find the probability that

11 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.

P(X≥11)

Apply correction factor to get:

P(X>11-0.5)=P(X>10.5)

We convert to z-scores:

P(X \: > \: 10.5) = P(z \: > \:  \frac{10.5 - 19.29}{4.33} )  \\ = P(z \: > \:  - 2.03)

= 0.9788

Part d)

We want to find the probability that:

between 24 and 28, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.

P(24≤X≤28)=

P(23.5≤X≤28.5)

Convert to z-scores:

P(23.5  \:  <  \: X \:  <  \: 28.5) = P( \frac{23.5 - 19.29}{4.33}   \:  <  \: z \:  <  \:  \frac{28.5 - 19.29}{4.33} ) \\  = P( 0.97\:  <  \: z \:  <  \: 2.13) \\  = 0.1494

Solve for b.<br> 7<br> b<br> 12<br> b= ✓ [?]<br> Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2<br> Enter
fomenos

Answer: b=\sqrt{95}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for b, we want to use the Pythagorean Theorem as given.

b and 7 are the legs, and 12 is the hypotenuse.

7^2+b^2=12^2      [exponent]

49+b^2=144     [subtract both sides by 49]

b^2=95               [square root both sides]

b=\sqrt{95}

Now we know b=\sqrt{95}.
