Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 323

1 answer:

4 0

Use a let statement
first
let x and x + 2 be the number so you write it like this
let x = the first consecutive integer
let x + 2 = the second consecutive integer

second
x(x+2)=323
x^2 + 2x = 323
-323 -323
x^2 + 2x -323 = 0

third
try to factor -323 so it is 19 and -17
(x + 19) (x - 17) = 0
x = 19
x = -17

hope this help

You divide 1444 kilometers by 110 kilometers to get x cm.

1444/110 = 13.127

x = 13.127 cm

A bag contains 4 oranges, 3 grapefruits, and 8 tangerines. A piece of fruit is chosen from the bag at random. What is the probab

s2008m [1.1K]

What you’ll have to do is find the probability of the oranges and the tangerines. There is a total is 15 fruit. 12 of those are not grapefruit. You’ll then have to find the percentage of 12/15.

12 is divided by 15, then multiplied by 100.

12 divided by 15 = 0.08

0.08 x 100 = 80

There is an 80% chance that a grapefruit will not be picked.

A random survey of 1000 students nationwide showed a mean ACT score of 21.1. Ohio was not used. A survey of 500 randomly selecte

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean Ohio score is below the national average.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a random survey of 1000 students nationwide showed a mean ACT score of 21.1. Ohio was not used.

A survey of 500 randomly selected Ohio scores showed a mean of 20.8. The population standard deviation is 3.

Let $\mu$ = mean Ohio scores.

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ $\geq$ 21.1 {means that the mean Ohio score is above or equal the national average}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 21.1 {means that the mean Ohio score is below the national average}

The test statistics that would be used here One-sample z test statistics as we know about population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean Ohio score = 20.8

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 3

n = sample of Ohio = 500

So, test statistics = $\frac{20.8-21.1}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{500}}}$

= -2.24

The value of z test statistics is -2.24.

Now, at 0.1 significance level the z table gives critical value of -1.2816 for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical values of z as -2.24 < 1.2816, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region due to which we reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean Ohio score is below the national average.
