Odd numbers are represented as 2n+1 where 2 is a natural number ( negative and possitive whole numbers)

consecutive odd numbers are 2 away from each other so 3 consecutive odd numbers would be
(2n+1),(2n+1+2),(2n+1+2+2)
the all add to -15 so they must all be negative
2n+1+2n+1+2+2n+1+2+2=-15
add like terms
6n+9=-15
subtract 9 from both sides
6n=-24
divide both sides by 6
n=-4
subsitute
first number=2n+1=2(-4)+1=-8+1=-7
second number=2n+1+2=2(-4)+3=-8+3=-5
third number=2n+1+2+2=-8+5=-3

the numbers are -7,-5, -3

6. Describe how we could conduct a simulation to decide whether a simple random sample from this population could produce a samp
BigorU [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have proportion p = 50/100 = 0.50

Probability of success = 1-0.50 = 0.50

To conduct simulation, let's assume experiment is to be done 10 times

1. Use binomial parameters n, number = 10, p = 0.50. we then get the necessary size of population To carry out the sampling.

2. We get a random sample and get the size of people who support an against smoking with kids in the car.

3. We repeat this process after drawing sample and also get the number of those in support of ban.

4. After getting n, we find proportion.
