Answer:

first number = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that consecutive even numbers have a difference of 2 between them.

Let n be the first even number then

n + 2, n + 4, n + 6 are the next 3 consecutive even numbers

Sum them together and equate to 36

n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 = 36 ← simplify left side

4n + 12 = 36 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

4n = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

n = 6

The first number is 6 and the next 3 are 8, 10, 12

Answer:

the first number in this sequence is 6....

Step-by-step explanation:

First number = x

2nd number = x+2

3rd consecutive even number = x+4

4th consecutive even number = x+6

Therefore,

By adding these numbers:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6= 36

Add the like terms:

4x+12=36

Combine the constants:

4x=36-12

4x=24

Divide both the terms by 4

4x/4 = 24/4

x= 6

Thus the first number in this sequence is 6....

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

(832.156, \ 847.844)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data :

Sample standard deviation, s = 15

Sample mean, \overline x = 840

n = 23

a). 98% confidence interval

$\overline x \pm t_{(n-1, \alpha /2)}. \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

$E= t_{( n-1, \alpha/2 )} \frac{s}{\sqrt n}}

$t_{(n-1 , \alpha/2)} \frac{s}{\sqrt n}$

$t_{(n-1, a\pha/2)}=t_{(22,0.01)} = 2.508$

∴ $E = 2.508 \times \frac{15}{\sqrt{23}}$

  $E = 7.844$

So, 98% CI is

$(\overline x - E, \overline x + E)$

(840-7.844 ,  \ 840+7.844)

(832.156, \ 847.844)
