If x metres of string are cut from a piece y metres long how much is left?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Karolina [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: The new length is: (y - x) metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a piece of string that is y metres long, and we cut x metres of strings from it, then the new length of the string will be equal to the difference between the initial length and the amount that we cut off.

So the initial length is y metres.

We cut x metres.

The new length is: (y - x) metres.

Solve for x in the equation x/2 = 17 user: solve for x in the equation x/2 = 17 user: apply the rules for order of operations to
Finger [1]
Well to solve for x you simply need to multiply both sides of the equation to isolate x, the answer will be x=34. the second question requires bedmas (brackets, exponents, division and multiplication, addition and subtraction)
It will be 224 no matter if you multiply or divide first

The average estimated hours a person in the United States spent playing video games per year from 2002 to 2012 were 71, 80, 82,
ozzi

Answer:

Population variance 579

Population standard deviation 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The average estimated hours a person in the United States spent playing video games per year from 2002 to 2012 were 71, 80, 82, 78, 80, 91, 107, 121, 125, 131, and 142.

The population variance is given by:

\sigma^2=\frac{\sum(x-\mu)^2}{n}

\mu=\frac{71+80+82+78+80+91+107+121+125+131+142}{11}

\mu=\frac{1108}{11}

This implies that:

\sigma^2=\frac{(71-\frac{1108}{11})^2+(80-\frac{1108}{11})^2+(82-\frac{1108}{11})^2+(78-\frac{1108}{11})^2+(80-\frac{1108}{11})^2+...+(142-\frac{1108}{11})^2}{11}

\sigma^2=\frac{70006}{121} =579 to the nearest whole number

The population standard deviation is

\sigma=\frac{\sqrt{70006} }{11}=24 to the nearest whole number.
