Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown be y (x is used as times(multiplication) )

(y-17)x-6=-138

add /-6 to both sides

y-17x-6/-6=-138/-6

y-17=23

make y independent/add 17 to both sides

y-17+17=23+17

y=40

or in an easier way

-138/-6 =23

23+17=40

simply reversing the question to get the answer

The mean of a certain set of measurements is 27 with a standard deviation of 14. The distribution of the

Talja [164]

Answer:

Exactly 16%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean of a certain set of measurements is 27 with a standard deviation of 14.

This means that $\mu = 27, \sigma = 14$

The proportion of measurements that is less than 13 is

This is the p-value of Z when X = 13, so:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{13 - 27}{14}$

$Z = -1$

$Z = -1$ has a p-value of 0.16, and thus, the probability is: Exactly 16%.

45% of the population of a city are men

leonid [27]

Answer:

$\boxed{\textsf{ The number of children is \textbf{24150}.}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the 45% of the population of a city are men and 15% are children . The number of women is 64,400 . And we need to find the number of children . Here ,

$\sf\implies Percentage_{(men)}= 45/% .\\\\\sf\implies Percentage_{(children)}= 15\% .$

So the percentage of women will be equal to [ 100 - ( 45 -15) ]% = [ 100 - 60 ]% = 40% .

So let us take the total number of people be x . So ,

$\purple{\bigstar}\underline{\underline{\boldsymbol{ According\ to \ Question :- }}}$

$\sf\implies 40\% \ of \ x \ = \ 64,400 \\\\\sf\implies \dfrac{40x}{100}= 64,400 \\\\\sf\implies x =\dfrac{64,400\times 100}{40}\\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\sf x = 161,000 }}$

$\rule{200}2$

The percentage of children = 15% :-

$\sf\implies Number_{(children)}= 15\% \ of 161,000\\\\\sf\implies Number_{(children)}= \dfrac{15}{100}\times 161,000 \\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\frak {Number_{(children)}= 24150 }}}$

What is the area of the square adjacent to the third side of the triangle?

Naddik [55]

Answer:

85 units^2 = Area of Blue Square

and

x = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we use the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2). a and b represent the legs of the triangle whereas c represents the longest side of the triangle, or the hypotenuse.

Since we know the area of a square is the side length multiplied by itself (or the side length squared), $\sqrt{35}$ is the side length of the pink square and $\sqrt{50}$ is the side length of the green square.
