8 0

Answer:

60 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = total people in the group

Number of Left-handed people = 12

Percentage of left-handed people = 20%

20% of x = 12

20/100 * x = 12

0.2 * x = 12

0.2x = 12

x = 12/0.2

x = 60 people

x = total people in the group = 60

If the length of a rectangle in terms of x is x^2+2x-3 and its width is 2x^2+3x+5, what is the perimeter of this rectangle?

AnnZ [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter=(L+W)2

L=x^2+2x-3

W=2x^2+3x+5

(x^2+2x-3+2x^2+3x+5)2

(x^2+2x^2+2x+3x-3+5)2

(3x^2+5x+2)2

p=(6x^2+10x+4)units

ad-work [718]

For this case what you can do is the following rule of three:
m ---> 100%
x ----> 115%
Clearing the value of x we have:
x = (115/100) * (m)
x = 1.15 * (m)
Answer:
a simplified expression to represent the number of members this year is:
x = 1.15 * (m)

Answer: $H_0:\mu=40$

$H_0:\neq40$

Step-by-step explanation:

A null hypothesis is a hypothesis where a researcher generally try to disprove, it says that there is no statistically significant relationship between the two variables .
An alternative hypothesis says that there is a statistical significance between two variables.

Claim 1. : Mean age of online dating service users is 40 years.

i.e. $\mu=40$ , since it has equals sign so we take this as null hypothesis.

Claim 2. : Mean age of online dating service users is not 40 years.

$\mu\neq40$

⇒ Null Hypothesis : $H_0:\mu=40$

Alternative hypothesis : $H_0:\neq40$
