Translate the sentence into an equation.
Twice the difference of a number and 2 equals 6.
Use the variable b for the unknown number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2(b-2)=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Twice the difference means multiply the difference by two

It explains the difference being between the unknown number(b) and 2

The answer is said to be six

So you put the difference (b-2)

Multiply it 2(b-2)

and finally, add the answer: 2(b-2)=6

Answer 2

The equation for the given sentence is 2(b-2)=6 and the unknown number is 5.

Given that, twice the difference of a number and 2 equals 6.

What is an equation?

In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =.

Use the variable b for the unknown number.

2(b-2)=6

⇒ b-2=3

⇒ b=5

Therefore, the equation for the given sentence is 2(b-2)=6 and the unknown number is 5.

Answers

You can set up a system of equations with x being the smaller number and y being the larger number. So the first equation would be 2y=5x-14 and the second equation would be x=y-2. You can solve by substitution and substitute y-2 into the x in the first equation to get 2y=5(y-2)-14. You can solve this out and it ends up simplifying to y=8. So you know the larger number is 8. So since the larger number is 8 and they are consecutive even integers, the smaller number must be 6. So the two numbers would be 6 and 8.

An industrial/organizational psychologist is consulting with Family Practice Pediatrics, which has just lost several of its best doctors to a rival pediatric practice. The management at Family Practice would like to know what it can do to increase job satisfaction for its remaining pediatricians. The psychologist is trying to determine whether significant information will be lost if she surveys a subset rather than every single pediatrician at Family Practice.
The following table lists the job satisfaction scores for all eight pediatricians at Family Practice as well as four examples of possible four-pediatrician samples. At the bottom of the table, the variance listed in the second column for all eight pediatricians is the population variance for the eight pediatricians (that is, sigma^2 = SS/N = SS/8). The variances listed in the third through the sixth columns are the sample variances for each of the four-pediatrician samples (that is, s^2 = SS/(n - 1) = SS/3).
Pediatrician Satisfaction Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Sample 4
A 5 x x x

C 8 x x x

Answer:

What is the mean of the four sample means is  [tex]\= x  =  6.125 [/tex]

What is the mean of the four sample variances is   [tex]\= x_v  =  3.71[/tex]

A sample statistic is an unbiased  point estimator  if the average value of the sample statistic, obtained over all possible samples, is equal to the population parameter.

A sample statistic is biased if it consistently underestimates or overestimates the corresponding population parameter.

A sample mean (that is, M = sigma X/n) is unbiased estimator of the population mean

A sample variance that is computed as s^2 = SS/(n - 1) is unbiased estimator of the population variance.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   Mean    6.00   6.75    6.50    5.25    6.00

   Variance    5.50    2.25    1.67   6.25  4.67

Generally the mean of the four sample means is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\= x  =  \frac{6.00+   6.75 +   6.50  +  5.25  +  6.00}{4}[/tex]

=>  [tex]\= x  =  6.125 [/tex]

Generally the mean of the four sample variances is mathematically represented as

      [tex]\= x_v  =  \frac{5.50+ 2.25+ 1.67+ 6.25 +4.67}{4}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\= x_v  =  3.71[/tex]

The graph of f(x)=x2 is horizontally stretched by a factor of 2 and then shifted to the left 2 units and down 4 units. Which equation describes the function g that results?

Answers

The equation of that function is:
y = (1/2 (x + 2) ) ^2 - 4

Using shifting concepts, it is found that function g is given by:

[tex]g(x) = \frac{x^2 - 4x - 12}{4}[/tex]

--------------

Horizontally stretching a function f(x) a units is the same as finding [tex]f(\frac{x}{a})[/tex]Shifting a function f(x) a units to the left is the same as finding f(x - a).Shifting a function f(x) down a units is the same as finding f(x) - a.

--------------

The parent function is:

[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

--------------

Horizontally stretching by a factor of 2.

[tex]f(\frac{x}{2}) = (\frac{x}{2})^2 = \frac{x^2}{4}[/tex]

--------------

Shifting left 2 units:

[tex]f(\frac{(x-2)}{2}) = \frac{(x - 2)^2}{4} = \frac{x^2 - 4x + 4}{4}[/tex]

--------------

Shifting down 4 units:

[tex]g(x) = f(\frac{(x-2)}{2}) - 4 = \frac{x^2 - 4x + 4}{4} - 4 = \frac{x^2 - 4x + 4}{4} - \frac{16}{4} = \frac{x^2 - 4x - 12}{4}[/tex]

find the value of x in the below complementary angle 3x(5x+2)​

Answers

Answer:

The value of x is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°

Let us use this rule to solve our question

∵ The angle of measure (3x)° and the angle of measure (5x + 2)°

   are complementary angles

→ That means their sum equals 90°

3x + 5x + 2 = 90

→ Add the like terms in the left side

∵ (3x + 5x) + 2 = 90

∴ 8x + 2 = 90

→ Subtract 2 from both sides to move 2 from the left side to the right side

∵ 8x + 2 - 2 = 90 - 2

∴ 8x = 88

→ Divide both sides by 8 to find x

∵ 8x/8 = 88/8

x = 11

The value of x is 11

Is it true that more than 50% of the sampled angles are smaller than 15°, as asserted by researchers?
A. Yes, the proportion of sampled angles smaller than 15° is greater than 0.50.
B. Yes, the proportion of sampled angles smaller than 15° is not greater than 0.50.
C. No, the proportion of sampled angles smaller than 15° is greater than 0.50.
D. No, the proportion of sampled angles smaller than 15° is not greater than 0.50.

Answers

Answer: A. Yes, the proportion of sampled angles smaller than 15° is greater than 0.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Class: _______ relative frequency

0−<5 __________ 0.179

5−<10 __________ 0.168

10−<15 _________ 0.174

15−<20 _________ 0.135

20−<30 _________0.193

30−<40 _________ 0.071

40−<60 _________ 0.051

60−<90 _________ 0.029

Evaluating the proportion of sampled angles less than 15°. This consist of the following classes :

Class: ________frequency

0−<5 __________ 0.179

5−<10 __________ 0.168

10−<15 _________ 0.174

Summing up the relative frequency values :

(0.179 + 0.168 + 0.174) = 0.521

0.521 * 100% = 52.1%

Hence, more than 50% of the sampled angles are smaller than 15°
