Let X be the first number
there is a 2 numbers distance between each even number eg.2 ,4, 6, 8, etc.
So the 2nd number is X+2
The sum of the 1st and 2nd numbers = 14
X + X+2 =14
2X +2 =14
2X = 14-2
2X = 12
X = 12/2
X = 6
Therefore,
The first number i.e, X = 6
And the second number i.e, X+2 = 6+2 =8
******************************************************************************
This is the only positive pair in case of two consecutive numbers if the are even numbers but not consecutive there will be more pairs
12 + 2 = 14
10 + 4 = 14
8 + 6 = 14 (Already found)

Deffense [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

The following prices for the same make  and model used guitar for his work are :

$699.20,$700.30,$680.50,$700.30, and  $800.25.

Mean of ungrouped data = sum of observations/total no of observations

\text{Mean}=\dfrac{699.20+700.30+680.50+700.30+800.25}{5}\\\\\text{Mean}=\$716.11

For median, arrange the given data in ascending order.

$680.50, $699.20, $700.30, $700.30, $800.25

Median = middle value

Median = $700.30

The value that comes most often is called mode.

$700.30 comes two times. So, mode is $700.30

Hence, Mean = $716.11, median = $700.30 and mode = $700.30

A newsgroup is interested in constructing a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all Americans who are in favor of a ne
Leto [7]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all Americans who are in favor of a new Green initiative is (0.6247, 0.6923).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

Of the 533 randomly selected Americans surveyed, 351 were in favor of the initiative.

This means that n = 533, \pi = \frac{351}{533} = 0.6585

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6585 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.6585*0.3415}{533}} = 0.6247

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.6585 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.6585*0.3415}{533}} = 0.6923

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of all Americans who are in favor of a new Green initiative is (0.6247, 0.6923).
