Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "multiple" is in least common multiple.  A multiple of a number is a number you get by multiplying by another number.  Take the number 3 for example, since 3*2 = 6, then 6 is a multiple of 3.  3*3 = 9, so 9 is a multiple of 3.  3*4 = 12, so 12 is a multiple of 3, etc.

For our problem, if we want to find the LCM (least common multiple) of 6 and 10, start with the highest number and begin the multiplication process.  10*2 = 20.  So we know that 20 is a multiple of 10, but if 6 doesn't go into 20 evenly, then 20 is not a multiple of 6.  And 6 does not go into 20 evenly, so 20 isn't the LCM of 6 and 10.  

10*3 = 30, and 6 DOES go into 30 evenly (5 times) so 30 is the LCM of 6 and 10

Answer:30

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the prime factorization of 6

6 = 2 × 3

Find the prime factorization of 10

10 = 2 × 5

Multiply each factor the greater number of times it occurs in steps i) or ii) above to find the lcm:

LCM = 2 × 3 × 5

LCM = 30

Suppose that the quarterly sales levels among health care information systems companies are approximately normally distributed w

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The sales level that is the cut-off between quarters that are considers as "failure" and those that are not is evaluated as

          y = 6.3 \ million \ dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

   From the question we are told that the

            Mean is \mu = 8 \ million \ dollars

           Standard deviation is \sigma = 1.3 \ million \ dollars

 Let Y be the random variable that denotes the sales made quarterly among health care information system

    The normal distribution for this data is mathematically represented as

                            Y ~ N (\mu = 8 , \sigma^2 = 1.69)

  From the question we are told that a quarter is consider a failure by the company if the sales level that quarter in the bottom 10% of the of all quarterly sales

            So

 The the Probability of obtaining quarterly sales level that is equal to  10% of all quarterly sale (It is not below 10%) is mathematically represented as

                    P[Y < y ] = 0.10

 This can be represented as a normal distribution in this manner

                  P [ \frac{Y- \mu}{\sigma }  < \frac{y -\mu}{\sigma} ] = 0.10

         Where  \frac{Y - \mu }{\sigma }  = Z ~ N(0 , 1)      

{This mean that this equal to the normal distribution between 0, 1  which is the generally range of every probability }

Therefor we have

                   P[Z < \frac{y- 8}{1.3} ]

The cumulative distribution function for a normal distribution of y  is mathematically  represented as

                \phi [\frac{y- 8}{1.3} ] = 0.10

This is because a cumulative distribution function of a random value Y or a distribution of Y evaluated at y is the probability that Y will take will take a value that is less or equal to y

                 \frac{y- 8}{1.3} = \phi ^{-1}(0.10)

Calculating the inverse of the cumulative distribution function value of 0.10 which is negative the  the critical value(Critical values determine what probability a particular variable will have when a sampling distribution is normal or close to normal.) of 0.01

                    \phi ^{-1}(0.10) =- [1 - \frac{0.10}{2}]

                                    =  - 1.28155

                 \frac{y - 8}{1.3}  = - 1.2816

                => y = 8 - (1.2816)(1.3)

                      y = 6.3 \ million \ dollars

a middle school has 520 students, 75% of the students ride the bus to school. How many students do not ride the bus to school?
Nata [24]

Answer:

130 students do not ride the bus to school.

Step-by-step explanation:

520 * .75 = 390

390 students ride the bus to school.

520-390=130

130 students do NOT ride the bus to school.

Hope this helps! :)

Ann [662]

Answer:

<u>8. and anything less</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The line thing would be pointing to the left as 8 and lower fit the solutions.

8 - 4 = 4 which is less than 5

7 - 4 = 3 which is less than 5

6 - 4 = 2 which is less than 5

If you were to carry on testing these where <em>X</em> is getting smaller in value, it will never end. Any number above 8 will not work

A tree casts a shadow 9 meters long. At the same time, a building 54 meters tall casts a shadow 21 meters long. To the nearest m
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

G.) 23 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

makeing it into a proportion would be the easiest -

9/x = 21/54

21x = 486

/21      /21

x = 23.14

rounded out would be x = 23 meters

hope this helps!!
