Let x = the first consecutive number
Then x + 1 = the second consecutive number
Then x + 2 = the third consecutive number
Then x + 3 = the fourth consecutive number
Then x + 4 = the fifth consecutive number

The sum of the 5 consecutive integers is 265

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 + x + 4 = 265

Combine like terms.

5x + 10 = 265

Solve for x.

5x + 10 = 265
5x = 255 <-- Subtract 10 from each side
x = 51 <-- Divide both sides by 5

So, the fifth consecutive integer is 51 + 4 or 55.

Five consecutive integers are:

n, n+1, n+2, n+3, n+4  the sum of which is:

5n+10=265  subtract 10 from both sides

5n=255, divide both sides by 5

n=51

Our fifth number was n+4 so the fifth number is 55

The number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection varies with mean 2.2 and standard deviation 1.1. This distribution
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The definition of the Central Limi Theorem states that:

Be a population with probability function f(X;μ,δ²) from which a random sample of size n is selected. Then the distribution of the sample mean tends to the normal distribution with mean μ and variance δ²/n when the sample size tends to infinity.

As a rule, a sample of size greater than or equal to 30 is considered sufficient to apply the theorem and use the approximation.

X[bar]≈N(μ;σ²/n)

If the variable of interest is X: the number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection.

There is no information about the distribution of this variable, but a sample of n= 52 weeks was taken, and since the sample is large enough you can approximate the distribution of the sample mean to normal. With population mean μ= 2.2 and standard deviation σ/√n= 1.1/√52= 0.15

I hope it helps!

Find each sum.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Sum is - 5n² -8n + 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : (3n² – 5n + 6) + (–8n²– 3n – 2) .

To find : Sum .

Solution : We have (3n² – 5n + 6) + (–8n²– 3n – 2) .

Combine like terms :

(3n² - 8n²– 5n - 3n + 6 - 2).

- 5n² -8n + 4.

Therefore, Sum is - 5n² -8n + 4.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = number

x/2 - 2 = 10

add 2 to each side to get:

x/2 = 12

cross-multiply to get:

x = 24
