SOLVING:
X + (X + 1) + (X + 2) + (X + 3) + (X + 4) = - 75
X + X + 1 + X + 2 + X + 3 + X + 4 = - 75
5X + 10 = - 75
5X = - 75 - 10
5X = - 85
X =
\frac{ \textbf{-85}}{ \textbf{5}}
X = - 17  ===> The first number.

- 17 + 1 = - 16  ===> The second number.
- 17 + 2 = - 15  ===> The third number.
- 17 + 3 = - 14  ===> The fourth number.
- 17 + 4 = - 13  ===> The fifth number.

TESTING:

-17-16-15-14-13=-75\\ \\\boxed{-75}=\boxed{-75}\quad\checkmark\ Correct.
GOOD LUCK...!!

Hello! I can help you with this! Do -75/5 to get -15. -15 will be your middle number. So for consecutive integers, -13 + -14 + -15 + -16 + -17 = 75. Those are five consecutive integers that have a sum of 75. The lowest of 5 integers is -17, because it’s the smallest of them all and the furthest to the left of the number line. A line further to the left of the number line means it’s smaller. Therefore, the rest of the five integers is -17.

I would say that statistics is a mathematical subject that allows you to explain scientific data. In a similar fashion, you could use mathematics to explain the various idea in physics as you can use statistics to interpret the results of experiments and the data collected.

Hope that helped!

patriot [66]

Answer:

t=5.5080( to 3 d.p)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the data given,

n =20

Deviation= 34/20= 1.7

Standard deviation (sd)= 1.3803(√Deviation)

Standard Error = sd/√n

= 1.3803/V20 = 0.3086

Test statistic is:

t = deviation /SE

= 1.7/0.3086 = 5.5080

ndf = 20 - 1 = 19

alpha = 0.01

One Tailed - Right Side Test

From Table, critical value of t =2.5395

Since the calculated value of t = 5.5080 is greater than critical value of t = 2.5395, the difference is significant. Reject null hypothesis.

t score = 5.5080

ndf = 19

One Tail - Right side Test

By Technology, p - value = 0.000

Since p - value is less than alpha , reject null hypothesis.

Conclusion:

From the result obtained it can be concluded that ,the data support the claim that the mean rating assigned to the wine when the cost is described as $90 is greater than the mean rating assigned to the wine when the cost is described as $10.
