Three consecutive even integers have a sum of -126. What is the smallest integer ?

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

-40, - 42 and -44

Step-by-step explanation:

The fastes way here is trying. Lets pick a number, intelligently, and then work on it.

We need three even integers that sum -126. These will be all negative numbers and as they are consecutive they will be very similar (for example, -33 and -35 and -37). Thus, lets start by 1/3 of -126, which is -42:

(-42)+ (-44) + (-46) = - 132, so -42 no.

Lets go a step back: -40

(-40) + (-42) + (-44) = -126

So, the integers are -40, -42 and -44

A building engineer analyzes a concrete column with a circular cross section. The circumference of the column is 18 \pi18π18, pi

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

$A=81\pi $ m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of the column $=18\pi $ meters$

Circumference of a circle $=2\pi r$

Therefore:

$2\pi r =18\pi $ meters\\2r=18\\r=18 \div 2\\$Radius, r=9 meters$

Area of a Circle $=\pi r^2$

Since radius of the cross section of the column =9 meters

Area of the cross section of the column

$=\pi *9^2\\=81\pi $ m^2$

Merta reports that 74% of its trains are on time. A check of 60 randomly selected trains shows that 38 of them arrived on time.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

No, the on-time rate of 74% is not correct.

Solution:

As per the question:

Sample size, n = 60

The proportion of the population, P' = 74% = 0.74

q' = 1 - 0.74 = 0.26

We need to find the probability that out of 60 trains, 38 or lesser trains arrive on time.

Now,

The proportion of the given sample, p = $\frac{38}{60} = 0.634$

Therefore, the probability is given by:

$P(p\leq 0.634) = [\frac{p - P'}{\sqrt{\frac{P'q'}{n}}}]\leq [\frac{0.634 - 0.74}{\sqrt{\frac{0.74\times 0.26}{60}}}]$

P $(p\leq 0.634) = P[z\leq -1.87188]$

P $(p\leq 0.634) = P[z\leq -1.87] = 0.0298$

Therefore, Probability of the 38 or lesser trains out of 60 trains to be on time is 0.0298 or 2.98 %

Thus the on-time rate of 74% is incorrect.
