The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 156. What is the smallest of the three numbers

1 answer:

6 0

We'll call the three consecutive even numbers n, n+2, and n+4.

n + (n+2) + (n+4) = 156
3n + 6 = 156
3n = 150
n = 50

The three numbers are 50, 52, and 54. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first begin by finding how much the total expenses will be;

£6 per person per night = £6 * 2persons * 10nights = £120

They also need to pay for 8 nights out of 10 for the ground surface of the tent pitch. Since their tent is 9.66m², it's less than 10m² so they get to pay £15 * 8 = £120. We calculate for only one tent because they're sharing.

Their total expenses are £120 + £120 = £240.

Now let's look at their savings;

£13 * 2 persons * 9 weeks = £234

They will not have enough money for their holiday because they are £6 short of the £240 funds required.

A forestry researcher wants to estimate the average height of trees in a forest near Atlanta, Georgia. She takes a random sample

Answer:

The margin of error for her confdence interval is of 0.3757.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 18 - 1 = 17

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 17 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995$ . So we have T = 2.8982
