Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2n+1 be the first odd integer.

Therefore, the consecutive odd integers will be 2n+3 and 2n+5

If the sum of the consecutive odd integers is 51 then:

⇒ 2n + 1 + 2n + 3 + 2n + 5 = 51

⇒ 6n + 9 = 51

⇒ 6n = 42

⇒ n = 7

To find the values of the integers, substitute the found value of n into the expressions:

First integer: 2(7) + 1 = 15
Second integer: 2(7) + 3 = 17
Third integer: 2(7) + 5 = 19

Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers that sum to 51 are 15, 17 and 19. The smallest of which is 15.

The feet of the average adult woman are 24.6 cm long, and foot lengths are normally distributed. If 16% of adult women have feet

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Approximately 16% of adult women have feet longer than 27.2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The feet of the average adult woman are 24.6 cm long

This means that $\mu = 24.6$

16% of adult women have feet that are shorter than 22 cm

This means that when $X = 22$ , Z has a p-value of 0.16, so when $X = 22, Z = -1$ . We use this to find $\sigma$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-1 = \frac{22 - 24.6}{\sigma}$

$-\sigma = -2.6$

$\sigma = 2.6$

Approximately what percent of adult women have feet longer than 27.2 cm?

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 27.2. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{27.2 - 24.6}{2.6}$

$Z = 1$

$Z = 1$ has a p-value of 0.84.

1 - 0.84 = 0.16

0.16*100% = 16%.

Approximately 16% of adult women have feet longer than 27.2 cm.

Answer:

Positive 1 over 6 raised to the 2nd power 1/62 or 1 over 36 which is 1/36. To find -6-2, take the inverse of -62.

(first find -62) -62 = -6 * -6 = 36

(then take the inverse of 36, which is 1 over 36) = 1 / 36 = 0.0277

so, -6-2 =0.0277
