Answer:

21, 22, 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct equations representing each piece of information.

Three consecutive integers are three numbers in a row, for example, 1, 2 and 3.

Let's let

Integer 1 = X

Integer 2 = Y

Integer 3 = Z

X = (Y + Z) - 24

We also know that

Y = X + 1

and Z = X + 2

We can now sub this information into the first equation. We do this so that we can have only one variable in the equation.

X = (X+1) + (X+2) - 24

now solve for x,

X = 2X + 3 - 24

X = 2X - 21

-X = - 21

X = 21

So, the integers are 21, 22, 23

Find the side of a square whose diagonal is of the given measure.<br> Given = 15.2 cm

Neko [114]

Answer:

15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, a square's diagonal is basically the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle. a 45-45-90 triangle has a really special relationship, where the side length is x, and the diagonal is x $\sqrt{2}$ . So, the side length is 15.

Consider the following hypothesis test: H 0: 20 H a: < 20 A sample of 60 provided a sample mean of 19.5. The population stand

viva [34]

Answer:

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, it be concluded that the population mean is less than 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 60

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 19.5

Sample size, n = 60

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 1.8

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 20\\H_A: \mu < 20$

We use One-tailed z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{19.5 - 20}{\frac{1.8}{\sqrt{60}} } = -2.151$

Now, $z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = -1.64$

Since,

$z_{stat} < z_{critical}$

We reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. Thus, it be concluded that the population mean is less than 20.
