A sixth grade math student made this conjecture: every prime number can be expressed as the product of two prime numbers. Do you

agree with the conjecture? Why or why not?

Answer:

No, I do not agree with the conjecture because 1 is not a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is one that can be divided by 1 and itself only. Thus it can be expressed in 2 factors only, 1 and the number itself.

Examples are; 2, 3, 5, 13, 19 , 23 etc.

So, 2 = 1 x 2

      3 = 1 x 3

     23 = 1 x 23

Prime numbers must be expressed as the product of 1 and the number.

The conjecture that every prime number can be expressed as the product of two prime numbers is false. Because 1 is not a prime number, since it has no 2 factors.

FIRST ONE TO ANSWER GETS A BRAINLY!!!! PLZ ANSWER AND HELP ME!!! PLS ALSO TELL HOW YOU GOT THE ANSWER!!!
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Square root of 87.35 will be plotted between 9 and 10 as shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, 'The number line is numbered in tenths'

Also, the square root of 87.35 is given by,

\sqrt{87.35}=9.4

That is, we have to plot the point 9.4 on the number line numbered in tenths.

As, 9.4 will lie between the points 9 and 10.

Thus, we get that square root of 87.35 will be plotted between 9 and 10 as shown below.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 26 cm and one of its sides has length of 5 cm
otez555 [7]

Answer:5 by 8 by 5 by 8

Step-by-step explanation: the perimeter is 26 and one side if 5 so you know that another side is also 5. So add 5 and 5 together you get 10. Then subtract 10 from the perimeter(witch we know is 26) and you end up with 16. we know that the last two side lengths are the same so divide 16 by two and the sidle length is 8.

Suppose that the distribution of typing speed in words per minute (wpm) for experienced typists using a new type of split keyboa
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

a. <u>0.5 or 50%</u>

b. <u>0.496 or 49.6%</u>

c. <u>0.8185 or 81.85%</u>

d. <u>Yes, it would be just 0.0013 or 0.13% of probability to find a typist whose speed exceeds 105 wpm</u>

e. <u>0.0252 or 2.52%</u>

f. <u>The qualifying speed would be 47.4 wpm.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let's find the z-score this way:

μ  = 60 σ= 15

z-score = (x - μ)/σ

z-score = (60 - 60)/15

z-score = 0

Now, let's calculate the p value for z-score = 0, using the z-table:

<u>p (z=0) = 0.5 or 50%</u>

b. z-score = (x - μ)/σ

z-score = (59.9 - 60)/15

z-score = -0.01

Now, let's calculate the p value for z-score = -.0.01, using the z-table:

<u>p (z = -0.01) = 0.496 or 49.6%</u>

If the question were less or equal than 60, a and b would have the same answer. But in this case, the question is "less than 60 wpm".

c.

z-score = (x - μ)/σ

z-score = (45 - 60)/15

z-score = - 1

Now, let's calculate the p value for z-score = -1, using the z-table:

p (z = -1) = 0.1587

z-score = (x - μ)/σ

z-score = (90 - 60)/15

z-score = 2

Now, let's calculate the p value for z-score = 2, using the z-table:

p (z = 2) = 0.9772

<u>In consequence,</u>

<u>p (-1 ≤ z ≤ 2) = 0.9772 - 0.1587 = 0.8185 or 81.85%</u>

d. z-score = (x - μ)/σ

z-score = (105 - 60)/15

z-score = 3

Now, let's calculate the p value for z-score = 3, using the z-table:

p (z = 3) = 0.9987

In consequence,

p (z > 3) = 1 - 0.9987 = 0.0013

<u>Yes, it would be just a 0.13% of probability to find a typist whose speed exceeds 105 wpm.</u>

e. z-score = (x - μ)/σ

z-score = (75 - 60)/15

z-score = 1

Now, let's calculate the p value for z-score = 1, using the z-table:

p (z = 1) = 0.8413

In consequence,

p (z > 1) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

and if the two typists are independently selected, then

p = 0.1587 * 0.1587

<u>p = 0.0252 or 2.52%</u>

f. p = 0.2, using the z-table, the z-score is -0.84, then:

z-score = (x - μ)/σ

-0.84 = (x - 60)/15

-12.6 = x - 60

-x = -60 + 12.6

-x = - 47.4

x = 47.4

<u>The qualifying speed would be 47.4 wpm.</u>
