Two positive, consecutive, odd integers have a product of 143.

Answer:

<em>The answer is 13</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Two positive and consecutive old numbers are x and x - 2.

=> x(x - 2) = 143

=> x^2 - 2x - 143 = 0

=> x^2 + 11x - 13x - 143 = 0

=> x(x + 11) - 13(x + 11) = 0

=> (x + 11)(x - 13) = 0

=>  x = -11 (invalid)

or x = 13 (valid), the remaining number is 13 - 2 = 11

=> The two numbers are 11 and 13, and the greater number is 13.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

\chi^2 = \frac{(32-42)^2}{42}+\frac{(18-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(68-63)^2}{63}+\frac{(7-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(89-84)^2}{84}+\frac{(11-16)^2}{16}=19.221

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(3-1)(2-1)=2

And we can calculate the p value given by:

p_v = P(\chi^2_{2} >19.221)=0.000067

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(19.221,2,TRUE)"

Since the p values is higher than a significance level for example \alpha=0.05, we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that the two variables are dependent at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A chi-square goodness of fit test "determines if a sample data matches a population".

A chi-square test for independence "compares two variables in a contingency table to see if they are related. In a more general sense, it tests to see whether distributions of categorical variables differ from each another".

Solution to the problem

Assume the following dataset:

Size Company/ Heal. Ins.   Yes   No  Total

Small                                      32   18    50

Medium                                 68     7    75

Large                                     89    11    100

_____________________________________

Total                                     189    36   225

We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:

H0: independence between heath insurance coverage and size of the company

H1:  NO independence between heath insurance coverage and size of the company

The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:

\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}

The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula E_i = \frac{total col * total row}{grand total}

And the calculations are given by:

E_{1} =\frac{50*189}{225}=42

E_{2} =\frac{50*36}{225}=8

E_{3} =\frac{75*189}{225}=63

E_{4} =\frac{75*36}{225}=12

E_{5} =\frac{100*189}{225}=84

E_{6} =\frac{100*36}{225}=16

And the expected values are given by:

Size Company/ Heal. Ins.   Yes   No  Total

Small                                      42    8    50

Medium                                 63     12    75

Large                                     84    16    100

_____________________________________

Total                                     189    36   225

And now we can calculate the statistic:

\chi^2 = \frac{(32-42)^2}{42}+\frac{(18-8)^2}{8}+\frac{(68-63)^2}{63}+\frac{(7-12)^2}{12}+\frac{(89-84)^2}{84}+\frac{(11-16)^2}{16}=19.221

Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:

df=(rows-1)(cols-1)=(3-1)(2-1)=2

And we can calculate the p value given by:

p_v = P(\chi^2_{2} >19.221)=0.000067

And we can find the p value using the following excel code:

"=1-CHISQ.DIST(19.221,2,TRUE)"

Since the p values is higher than a significance level for example \alpha=0.05, we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance, and we can conclude that the two variables are dependent at 5% of significance.

Sally made a box to hold her jewlery collection. She used 42 inches of wood to build the sides of the box. If the box is 9 inche
Juliette [100K]
The length is 12, because if it's 9 inches wide it has two sides of 9 inches which is 18. Then subtract that from the intial value 42 to get 24. After, you divide 24 by 2 due to there being 2 sides of the box and 24 is the sum of both sides. Hopethis helps!

Jerry bought a coat on sale for 30% off. The sale price for the coat was $63, what is the regular price for the coat?
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The original regular price for the coat is $90

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information in the question are;

The percentage that was off (removed) from the sale price = 30%

The sale price at which Jerry bought the coat = $63

Whereby the regular price = P, we have;

P - 30% of P = $63

P - 0.3×P = $63

P×(1 - 0.3) = $63

0.7·P = $63

P = $63/0.7 = $90

Therefore, the regular (original) price for the coat = $90

The coat regular price at which the coat is displayed is at $90.

svet-max [94.6K]

Convert all statistics into percentages:

CA: 3/25=0.12 -> 12%

NY: 3/50=0.06 -> 6%

TX: 2/25=0.08->8%

(A) Out of the three states, California has the largest population

(B) Out of the three states, NY has the smallest population

(C) USA=100%, CA+NY+TX=26%, therefore 74% of USA do not live on those three states.
