Given the statement, "If n^2 is odd, then n is odd," its contrapositive claims that, "If n is not odd, then n^2 is not odd."

So assume n is not odd, i.e. n is even. This means there is an integer k for which n=2k. Squaring this gives n^2=(2k)^2=4k^2.

Well, we can write 4k^2=2(2k^2), and 2k^2 is just another integer, which means 4k^2=(2k)^2=n^2 must be even.

on a certain hot Summer's Day 613 people use the public swimming pool the daily prices are $1.75 for children $2.25 for adults t
Elodia [21]

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one child ticket = $1.75

Cost of one adult ticket = $2.25

Total people = 613

Total receipts worth = $1184.75

Let,

Number of children = x

Number of adults = y

According to given statement;

x+y=613    Eqn 1

1.75x+2.25y=1184.75    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 1.75

1.75(x+y=613)\\1.75x+1.75y=1072.75\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(1.75x+2.25y)-(1.75x+1.75y)=1184.75-1072.75\\1.75x+2.25y-1.75x-1.75y=112.00\\0.50y=112.00

Dividing both sides by 0.50

\frac{0.50y}{0.50}=\frac{112.00}{0.50}\\y=224

Putting y=224 in Eqn 1

x+224=613\\x=613-224\\x=389\\

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.

The feet of the average adult woman are 24.6 cm long, and foot lengths are normally distributed. If 16% of adult women have feet
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Approximately 16% of adult women have feet longer than 27.2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The feet of the average adult woman are 24.6 cm long

This means that \mu = 24.6

16% of adult women have feet that are shorter than 22 cm

This means that when X = 22, Z has a p-value of 0.16, so when X = 22, Z = -1. We use this to find \sigma

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

-1 = \frac{22 - 24.6}{\sigma}

-\sigma = -2.6

\sigma = 2.6

Approximately what percent of adult women have feet longer than 27.2 cm?

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 27.2. So

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

Z = \frac{27.2 - 24.6}{2.6}

Z = 1

Z = 1 has a p-value of 0.84.

1 - 0.84 = 0.16

0.16*100% = 16%.

Approximately 16% of adult women have feet longer than 27.2 cm.
