Find two consecutive even integers

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fantom [35]3 years ago

You can set up a system of equations with x being the smaller number and y being the larger number. So the first equation would be 2y=5x-14 and the second equation would be x=y-2. You can solve by substitution and substitute y-2 into the x in the first equation to get 2y=5(y-2)-14. You can solve this out and it ends up simplifying to y=8. So you know the larger number is 8. So since the larger number is 8 and they are consecutive even integers, the smaller number must be 6. So the two numbers would be 6 and 8.

Determine the astm grain size number if 33 grains per square inch are measured at a magnification of 270×
strojnjashka [21]
8.9

The equation for the grain size is expressed as the equality:
Nm(M/100)^2 = 2^(n-1)
where
Nm = number of grains per square inch at magnification M.
M = Magnification
n = ASTM grain size number

Let's solve for n, then substitute the known values and calculate.
Nm(M/100)^2 = 2^(n-1)

log(Nm(M/100)^2) = log(2^(n-1))
log(Nm) + 2*log(M/100) = (n-1) * log(2)
(log(Nm) + 2*log(M/100))/log(2) = n-1
(log(Nm) + 2*log(M/100))/log(2) + 1 = n

(log(33) + 2*log(270/100))/log(2) + 1 = n
(1.51851394 + 2*0.431363764)/0.301029996 + 1 = n
(1.51851394 + 0.862727528)/0.301029996 + 1 = n
2.381241468/0.301029996 + 1 = n
7.910312934 + 1 = n
8.910312934 = n

So the ASTM grain size number is 8.9

If you want to calculate the number of grains per square inch, you'd use the
same formula with M equal to 1. So:
Nm(M/100)^2 = 2^(n-1)
Nm(1/100)^2 = 2^(8.9-1)
Nm(1/10000) = 2^7.9
Nm(1/10000) = 238.8564458
Nm = 2388564.458

Or about 2,400,000 grains per square inch.

BartSMP [9]

Complete Question

It is found that on average, 9% of the population recycles its garbage. Under this assumption, if a random sample of 120 households in Iowa City is taken, would you be surprised to find that fewer than 3% of households in the sample recycle their garbage? Use the fact that p-hat has an approximately normal distribution.

Group of answer choices

A I would not be surprised because there are lots of lazy students in Iowa City.

B I would not be surprised because 3% is not that far away from 9%.

C I would be surprised because Iowa City is a very clean community which means lots of people recycle their garbage.

D I would be surprised because if the 9% average is true, the chance of a sample proportion being less than 3% is very small (only 1%). Who cares? It's only garbage!

Answer:

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n  = 120

    The  mean of the proportion is  p =  0.09

   

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

=>   \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{0.09(1-0.09)}{120 } }

=>   \sigma  = 0.02612

Generally the chance that fewer than 3%   of households in the sample recycle their garbage is mathematically represented as

    P(X < 0.03) =  P( \frac{X - p}{\sigma}  <  \frac{0.03 -0.09}{0.02612} )

    P(X < 0.03) =  P( Z  < -2.297 )

From the z-table  

     P( Z  < -2.297 ) = 0.01

=> [tex]P(X < 0.03) = 0.01/tex]

=>   [tex]P(X < 0.03) = 1\% /tex]
