The breaking strengths of cables produced by a certain manufacturer have a mean, , of pounds, and a standard deviation of pounds. it is claimed that an improvement in the manufacturing process has increased the mean breaking strength. to evaluate this claim, newly manufactured cables are randomly chosen and tested, and their mean breaking strength is found to be pounds. can we support, at the level of significance, the claim that the mean breaking strength has increased?

2 equivalent expressions to represent the area of a rectangle and the top is n-3 and the side is 2

area of the rectangle = length * width

given length = n - 3

width = 2

replace it in the area

so area of the rectangle = (n-3) *2

= 2(n-3)

one of the expression is 2(n-3)

to get another expression we distribute 2 inside the parenthesis

2(n-3) is 2n - 6

so another expression is 2n - 6

two equivalent expression are

2(n - 3)   , 2n - 6
