Answer:

First x=-13 (The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two.)

Second x=-10 (Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one.)

Third x=-3.5 (The sum of a number and two is equal to the quotient of six and negative four.)

Fourth x=3.25 (The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight.)

Fifth  x=12 ( The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The  resulting product equals fourteen. )

Step-by-step explanation:

We will consider number = x

1. Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one.

\frac{1}{2}x+4=-1

Now solving to find value of x

\frac{1}{2}x+4=-1\\\frac{1}{2}x=-1-4\\\frac{1}{2}x=-5\\x=-5*2\\x=-10

So, value of x=-10

2. The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two.

\frac{x+3}{5}=-2

Solving:

\frac{x+3}{5}=-2\\x+3=-2*5\\x+3=-10\\x=-10-3\\x=-13

So, value of x=-13

3. The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight.

4x-5=-8

Solving:

4x-5=8\\4x=8+5\\4x=13\\x=13/4\\x=3.25

So, value of x=3.25

4. The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The  resulting product equals fourteen.

(x-5)*-2=-14

Solving

(x-5)*-2=-14\\-2x+10=-14\\-2x=-14-10\\-2x=-24\\x=-24/-2\\x=12

So, value of x=12

5. The sum of a number and two is equal to the quotient of six and negative four.

x+2=\frac{6}{-4}

Solving:

x+2=\frac{6}{-4}\\x+2=-\frac{3}{2}\\x=  -\frac{3}{2}-2\\x=\frac{-3-2*2}{2} \\x=\frac{-3-4}{2} \\x=\frac{-7}{2} \\x=-3.5

So, value of x=-3.5

Now arranging based on values of x

x=-10, x=-13, x=3.25, x=12, x=-3.5

First x=-13 (The sum of a number and three is divided by five. The result is negative two.)

Second x=-10 (Half of a number is added to four. This sum is equivalent to negative one.)

Third x=-3.5 (The sum of a number and two is equal to the quotient of six and negative four.)

Fourth x=3.25 (The difference between four times a number and five has a result of negative eight.)

Fifth  x=12 ( The difference between a number and five is multiplied by negative two. The  resulting product equals fourteen. )

The heights of women aged 20 to 29 are approximately normal with mean 64 inches and standard deviation 2.7 inches. Men the same
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Z=\frac{x-mu}{\sigma }

X - Heights of women aged 20 to 29: X is N(64, 2.7)

Y - Heights of men aged 20 to 29: X is N(69.3, 2.8)

a) X=6'=72"

Z=\frac{72-64}{2.7} =2.963

b) Y = 72"

z=\frac{72-69.3}{2.8} =0.965

c) 72' women can be taken as very tall but men moderately taller than average

d) Y<5'5" =65"

Z<\frac{65-69.3}{2.8} =-1.536

e) X>73"

Z>\frac{73-64}{2.7} =3.33

Almost 0% can be taken

you make two cylinders using 8.5-by-11-inch pieces of paper. One has a height of 8.5 inches, and the other has a height of 11 in
Elan Coil [88]
The second cylinder is taller correct? 
8 in < 11 in 

If the height is also larger, the base is most likely larger too.

Wouldn't the largest cylinder have a Larger surface area?

A six-sided die is rolled in a trial. What are the chances that the outcome is 2 or more?
NNADVOKAT [17]

To have the outcome of 2 or more, we can roll out a 2,3,4,5 or 6.

So, the chance of getting the outcome is 2 or more is 5/6

And, 5/6 is pretty much likely to happen. (around 80% or so)
