Answer:

$2.4x-4.4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$0.3(4x-8)-0.5(-2.4x+4)$

To simplify the expression, we are going to need to rewrite the expression by expanding the terms and then solve by using the distributive property. Then we combine like terms in till the expression can no longer be simplified to find our answer.

$0.3(4x-8)-0.5(-2.4x+4)$
$0.3(4x-8)$
$0.3\times4=1.2x$
$0.3\times4=2.4$
$1.2x-1.2-0.5(-2.4x+4)$
$-0.5(-2.4x+4)$
$-0.5\times-2.4=1.2$
$-0.5\times4=-2$
$1.2-2$
$1.2x-2.4+1.2x-2$
$1.2+1.2=2.4x$
$-2.4+-2=-4.4$
$=2.4x-4.4$

Your answer is "2.4x - 4.4."

Hope this helps.

1) A. Biased because the population could be uneven. Too many of one ethnicity, too many of one gender, etc.

2) I believe this one is C. because there are not enough people. You need to survey the majority of parents instead of a selected few.

3) There are 80 green marbles per 500, therefore calculate the percentage. $\frac{80}{500}=0.16$ or $16$ percent. Multiply $16$ percent or $0.16$ times 25. It gives you $4$ .

4) This one is a probability thing too. For every 500 batteries, there are 3 that are defective, therefore, $\frac{3}{500}= 0.006$ .

$0.006*12000 = 72$

5) Yet another one. Add up all the nuts and you get $48$ . The chance of getting a cashew from these $48$ is: $\frac{9}{48}=0.1875$ .

Therefore: $0.1875*32=6$

I don't understand e. Please help

Case 1: Probabilities cannot add up to a number greater (or less) than 1. This would mean there is greater than a 100% chance of something happening which just doesn't make sense. 0.4 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 1,1

Case 2: You cannot have a negative probability. That is claiming that there is a -10% chance of an event happening, there is at the very least a 0%. Despite them "adding" up to 1, the negative probability makes no sense.

Hope I helped!

The sum of two numbers is 72. One number is 8

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

32 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the smaller number x. If the smaller number is x, the equation for this problem is 2x + 8 = 72

Equation:

2x + 8 = 72

2x = 64

x = 32

So now we know the smaller number is 32, so now add 8 and we get 40.

Therefore the 2 numbers are 32 and 40

<span>Standard deviation shows the distribution present in a set. Range can be used to approximate this property. Therefore, Set b (100, 140, 150, 160, 200 10, 50, 60, 70, 110) has the largest standard deviation because it has a range of 190 (i.e. 200 - 10)</span>
