2 * (w - 5) = 6

What you do is read the sentence and make an equation. So let's do that.

"Twice the difference of a number and 5 is equal to 6"

There's several parts. "Twice the difference" indicates that you're multiplying by 2, and "difference of a number and 5" would indicate subtraction. And finally, "is equal to 6" would indicate an equality. So let's make the equation.

"Twice the difference"
2 * ?

"difference of a number and 5"
2 * (w - 5)

""is equal to 6"
2 * (w - 5) = 6

So your desired equation is
2 * (w - 5) = 6

A quantitative data set has mean 23 and standard deviation 2. At least what percentage of the observations lie between 15 and 31

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Atleast 93.75% of data lies between 15 and 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mean = 23

Standard deviation = 2

We have to find he data lying between 15 and 31.

$15 = 23 - 4(2) = \mu - 4\sigma\\31 = 23 + 4(2) = \mu + 4\sigma$

Thus, we have to find the data lying within 4 standard deviation from the mean.

Chebyshev's Theorem:

According to this theorem atleast $1 - \dfrac{1}{k^2}$ percent of data lies within k standard deviation of mean.
For k = 4.

$1 - \dfrac{1}{(4)^2} = 0.9375 = 93.75\%$

Thus, atleast 93.75% of data lies between 15 and 31.

area of rectabgle=l*b

259=18.5*b

259/18.5=b

14=b

perimeter of rectangle=2(l+b)

=2(18.5+14)

=2*32.5

=65 cm
