What is the least common multiple of 8 and 11

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the prime factorization of both 8 and 11.

8 → 4 × 2 → 2 × 2 × 2

11 → 11

Then, multiply each factor the greater number of times it occurs. Since no factors are duplicated between 8 and 11 (as in, 2 is not a factor of 11, nor is 11 a factor of 8), LCM will equal 2 × 2 × 2 × 11.

2 × 2 × 2 × 11 = 88, so the LCM is 88.

It's a little hard to explain without visuals. A video could be useful, though I can't put links here.

Suppose a tank contains 400 gallons of salt water. If pure water flows into the tank at the rate of 7 gallons per minute and the

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a differential equation problem most easily solved with an exponential decay equation of the form

$y=Ce^{kt}$ . We know that the initial amount of salt in the tank is 28 pounds, so

C = 28. Now we just need to find k.

The concentration of salt changes as the pure water flows in and the salt water flows out. So the change in concentration, where y is the concentration of salt in the tank, is $\frac{dy}{dt}$ . Thus, the change in the concentration of salt is found in

$\frac{dy}{dt}=$ inflow of salt - outflow of salt

Pure water, what is flowing into the tank, has no salt in it at all; and since we don't know how much salt is leaving (our unknown, basically), the outflow at 3 gal/min is 3 times the amount of salt leaving out of the 400 gallons of salt water at time t:

$3(\frac{y}{400})$

Therefore,

$\frac{dy}{dt}=0-3(\frac{y}{400})$ or just

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{3y}{400}$ and in terms of time,

$-\frac{3t}{400}$

Thus, our equation is

$y=28e^{-\frac{3t}{400}$ and filling in 16 for the number of minutes in t:

y = 24.834 pounds of salt

A population has a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 50. Suppose a sample of size 100 is selected and x is used to estimat

zmey [24]

Answer:

a) 0.6426 = 64.26% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 5 of the population mean.

b) 0.9544 = 95.44% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 10 of the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
