Consider the numbers 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40. Multiply each by 4 and compare the result to 60 to determine into which of the following intervals the answer to the question "What number can you multiply by 4 and then add 8 to the product to get 60?" should fall.

After the exam has been completed, you have the students anonymously fill out a questionnaire asking about their study habits for the exam and the grade they earned on the exam. From the surveys, you randomly select 10 students who studied for the exam and 10 students who did not study for the exam. You create the table showing the students' exam grades given here: 10 students who studied: 93 96 90 87 89 99 78 96 97 95 10 students who did not study: 65 72 71 64 55 49 88 67 76 63 What was the average exam grade for each set of students? Enter the average exam grade of students who studied, followed by the average exam grade of the students who did not study, using two significant figures, separated by a comma.
92,67 Add all 10 scores, and divide by the number of students, in this case 10.
Experiment
A procedure that tests the validity of a hypothesis
Which of the following experiment setups would be the best way to test your hypothesis? A. After the exam, give students a survey questioning their study habits and what grade they made on their exam. B. Before the exam, give students a survey questioning their study habits. C. After the exam, give students a survey questioning their study habits and what grade they think they made on the exam. D. Before the exam, give students a survey questioning their study habits and what grade they think they will make on the exam.
A. After the exam, give students a survey questioning their study habits and what grade they made on their exam.
Recall that the equation 4x+8=60 was restated in words as, "What number multiplied by 4 and then added to 8 gives 60?" Which of the following would be an equivalent way to write this? A. What number can you multiply by 4 to get a number 8 less than 60? B. What number can you subtract 60 from and then divide by 4 to get 8? C. What number can you multiply by 4 to get a number 8 larger than 60? D. What number can you divide by 4 to get a number 8 less than 60?
A. What number can you multiply by 4 to get a number 8 less than 60?
Theory
An explanation of an observation that has been validated by repeated experiments that support a hypothesis
Hypothesis
An unverified explanation of a natural phenomenon
In multiplication or division, the result carries the same number of significant figures as the factor with the ______ significant figures.
Fewest
Observation
Information determined by nothing and recording a natural phenomenon
When dealing with scientific notation, a negative exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the ______.
Left
A chemical is...
Made of particles with a measurable mass.
When dealing with scientific notation, a positive exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted that number of places to the ______.
Right
A general term for a chemical is a(n) __________.
Substance
Scientific method
The process of making observations, proposing a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis, and developing a theory that explains a natural event
Chemistry
The study of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter
You know that a number 8 less than 60 is the number 52. So, you could rewrite your answer from the previous part as, "What number can you multiply by 4 to get 52?" This is just the definition of 52 divided by 4! So, what is the number x you are looking for?
x=13
