Step-by-step explanation:

consecutive even integers have a difference of 2 between them

for example 2, 4, 6 are 3 consecutive even integers

In general if we let the first integer be k then the next 2 integers are

k + 2 and k + 4

the sum of these equals 4 times the first integer, that is 4k, hence

k + k + 2 + k + 4 = 4k

3k + 6 = 4k ( subtract 3k from both sides )

6 = k

the 3 consecutive integers are

k = 6

k + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8

k + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10

that is 6, 8 and 10

note that sum = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24

and 4 × 6 = 24

confirming the sum of the 3 integers equals 4 times the first integer

I have k quarters, five less quarters than nickels and one more than twice as many dimes as quarters. Find the value of the coin

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

(35k + 20) cents

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let us have the value of each unit:

1 quarter = 25 cents

1 nickel = 5 cents

1 dime = 10 cents

Given that number of quarter = k

Quarters are 5 lesser than Nickels, so number of nickels = k+5

One more than twice as many dimes as quarters:

k = 2 $\times$ Number of Dimes + 1

So, number of dimes = $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)$

Value of quarters = $25 \times k$ cents

Value of nickels = $5 \times (k+5) = (5k+25)\ cents$

Value of dimes = $\frac{1}{2}(k-1) \times 10 = (5k-5)\ cents$

So, total value of coins =

$25k + 5k +25 +5k-5\\\Rightarrow (35k+20)\ cents$

Mopeds (small motorcycles with an engine capacity below 50cm3) are very popular in Europe because of their mobility, ease of ope

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

a) 96.64% probability that maximum speed is at most 50 km/h

b) 24.67% probability that maximum speed is at least 48 km/h

c) 86.64% probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 1.5 standard deviations

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 46.8, \sigma = 1.75$

A. What is the probability that maximum speed is at most 50 km/h?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 50. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{50 - 46.8}{1.75}$

$Z = 1.83$

$Z = 1.83$ has a pvalue of 0.9664

96.64% probability that maximum speed is at most 50 km/h.

B. What is the probability that maximum speed is at least 48 km/h?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 48.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{48 - 46.8}{1.75}$

$Z = 0.685$

$Z = 0.685$ has a pvalue of 0.7533

1 - 0.7533 = 0.2467

24.67% probability that maximum speed is at least 48 km/h.

C. What is the probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 1.5 standard deviations?

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332

Z = -1.5 has a pvalue of 0.0668

0.9332 - 0.0668 = 0.8664

86.64% probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 1.5 standard deviations

Three Friends all have ages that are consecutive integers. The sum of their ages is 48. What is the age of the oldest friend?

Reptile [31]

Consecutive integers = in this situation double-digit whole numbers So as there are 3 of them let's say 2 are 11 because that would be the highest consecutive number so 11+11= 22 and 48-22=26 so the three have the ages of 11,11,26 and the oldest would be 26 ;)

The marketing manager for an electronics chain store wants information about the ages of its customers. Over the next two weeks,

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

a simple random sampling.

Population is all the customers of the electronics chain store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the marketing manager for an electronics chain store wants information about the ages of its customers. Over the next two weeks, at each store location, 100 randomly selected customers are given questionnaires to fill out asking for information about age, as well as about other variables of interest.

Here since these 100 customers are selected at random no groups or partitions were made.

So this cannot be stratified or cluster. Systematic sampling is done with a pre plan and here it is not mentioned. Convenience sampling is to save time the first customers or at a particular place selected. Here it is not

So this is nothing but a simple random sampling.

Population is all the customers of the electronics chain store.

Which of the following expressions Will result in a product less than zero? Select all that apply

Semmy [17]

Answer:

A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative times positive is always negative, thus making them less than 0. Negative times negative is positive, so B and C both have a positive product. Hope this helps
