How is a greater number a factor of a smaller number?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Eduardwww [97]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

It depends on the definition of "factor" that you use.

One dictionary defines "factor" to be ...

  "a number or quantity that when multiplied with another produces a given number or expression"

In that sense, 7 can be a factor of 3, because 7 × (3/7) = 3.

___

Often we use the term "factor" when we mean "integer divisor", or "positive integer divisor". Using this last definition, the only factors of 3 are 1 and 3.

Other times, we use the term "factor" to mean "prime factor." By this definition, the only factor of 3 is 3 itself.

pH measurements of a chemical solutions have mean 6.8 with standard deviation 0.02. Assuming all pH measurements of this solutio
aalyn [17]

Answer: 2.14 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : pH measurements of a chemical solutions have

Mean :  \mu=6.8

Standard deviation : \sigma=0.02

Let X be the pH reading of a randomly selected customer chemical solution.

We assume  pH measurements of this solution have a nearly symmetric/bell-curve distribution (i.e. normal distribution).

The z-score for the normal distribution is given by :-

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x = 6.74

z=\dfrac{6.74-6.8}{0.02}=-3

For x = 6.76

z=\dfrac{6.76-6.8}{0.02}=-2

The p-value =P(6.74

P(z

In percent, 0.0214\times=2.14\%

Hence, the percent of pH measurements reading below 6.74 OR above 6.76 = 2.14%
