The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is one hundred and eleven. what is the smallest of the three numbers?

1 answer:

8 0

35,37,39
111 divided by 3 is 37...so that is the middle number. Two below it is 35 and 2 above it is 39 and all three would add up to 111. So 35 is the lowest.

Find an irrational number between -10 and -10.1.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Between two rational numbers there are an infinite number of irrational numbers.

Example:

$- 5 \sqrt{3} -\sqrt{2}= 5 \times 1.7320508 - 1.41421356 \approx -10.0744676\\\\
-10.1 \ \textless \ -10,0744676 \ \textless \ -10$

What number will the function return if the input is 15.4?

wlad13 [49]

The rule of the function is to multiply the input by 3, since one yard is equal in length to three feet.

So, if the input is 15.4, the output will be

$f(x)=3x \implies f(15.4)=3\cdot 15.4 = 46.2$

The sugar content of the syrup in canned peaches is normally distributed. A random sample of n = 10 cans yields a sample standar

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval is given by:

3.30<σ<8.76

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

s=4.798 represent the sample standard deviation

$\bar x$ represent the sample mean

n=10 the sample size

Confidence=95% or 0.95

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population mean or variance lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

The Chi Square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

2) Calculating the confidence interval

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

$\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \leq \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}$

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical values.

The excel commands would be: "=CHISQ.INV(0.025,9)" "=CHISQ.INV(0.975,9)". so for this case the critical values are:

$\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=19.022$

$\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=2.700$

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

$\frac{(9)(4.798)^2}{19.022} \leq \sigma \frac{(9)(4.798)^2}{2.700}$

$10.892 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 76.736$

Now we just take square root on both sides of the interval and we got:

$3.30 \leq \sigma \leq 8.76$

So the best option would be:

3.30<σ<8.76

The picture below shows a container that Jeff uses to freeze water: A cylinder is shown with base diameter of 8 centimeters and

Butoxors [25]

Okay, first we need to figure out what one would make. We need to figure out the area of the base x height. The diameter is 8 so we will cut that to 4 so we can do piR2! 3.14x16 would be 50.24. Then we mutiply that by 10 to get 502.4cm3! Okay, now we would divide 2000/502.4 to find out how many times we would have to make the containers to get to 2000. The answer is 3.98, which we will have to round up since its asks for the minimum and you cant make a container 3.98 times. So the answer is 4!

At a certain time of day, the angle of elevation of the sun is 80degree. Find the height of a tree whose shadow is 44 feet long.

Arte-miy333 [17]

The height of the tree is 249.5 feet

<h3>How to determine the height of the tree?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Elevation angle = 80 degrees
Shadow length (L) = 44 feet

Let the height of the tree be x.

So, we have:

tan(80) = x/44

Multiply both sides by 44

x = 44 * tan(80)

Evaluate

x = 249.5

Hence, the height of the tree is 249.5 feet
