Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
8
Discussion:
Let the number be "n". Then the question states that
3n - 15 = (n/2) + 5 => multiply both sides by 2
6n - 30 = n + 10 => subtract n from both sides
5n - 30 = 10 => add 30 to both sides
5n = 30 + 10 = 40 => divide both sides by 5
n = 40/5 = 8
Thank you,
MrB
So basically the x will want to be singled out and 3/2-y=the variable
Answer:
The estimate of the proportion of people who pass out at more than 6 Gs is 0.279.
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimate of the proportion of people who pass out at more than 6 Gs.
Number of people who passed out divided by the size of the sample.
We have that:
Sample of 502 people, 140 passed out at G forces greater than 6. So the estimate is:

The estimate of the proportion of people who pass out at more than 6 Gs is 0.279.
