Three consecutive integers exist where the smallest is fifteen less than twice the larger. Find the integers

Consecutive integers are integers that appear one after the other. so let's call them x, x+1, and x+2.

the smallest (which is x) is 15 less than twice the larger. "the larger" is a bit unclear, but i'm assuming it is referring to the x+1 integer, because it doesn't say the "largest". so x = 2(x+1) - 15. let's try to solve for x.

x = 2(x+1) - 15
x = 2x + 2 - 15
x = 2x - 13
subtract 2x from both sides.
-x = -13
x = 13
x+1 = 14
x+2 = 15

your integers are 13, 14, and 15.

What is the function rule for the line?
Papessa [141]

Answer:

A (Wrong)

B (Correct)

C (Wrong)

D (Wrong)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is -2 because the line intercepts are touch the y-intercept at -2. Further more find two point on the line that has whole number in the order pair. Which is -\frac{3}{2} meaning that it takes the point to move 3 units down and to 2 right.

An alarming number of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese. The distinction between overweight and obese is made on the ba
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected adult is either overweight or obese is 0.569.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected adult is neither overweight nor obese is 0.431.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>A</em> = a person is over weight and <em>B</em> = a person is obese.

The information provided is:

An adult is considered overweight if the BMI ≥ 25 but BMI < 30.

An obese adult will have a BMI ≥ 30.

According to the range of BMI the events A and B are independent.

P (A) = 0.331 and P (B) = 0.357.

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected adult is either overweight or obese as follows:

P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) - P (A ∩ B)

               = P (A) + P (B) - P (A)×P (B)

               =0.331+0.357-(0.331\times0.357)\\=0.569833\\=0.569

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected adult is either overweight or obese is 0.569.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected adult is neither overweight nor obese as follows:

P(A^{c}\cup B^{c})=1-P(A\cup B)=1-0.569=0.431

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected adult is neither overweight nor obese is 0.431.

A normally distributed population has a mean of 250 pounds
Dima020 [189]

Answer: 0.9746

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A normally distributed population has a mean of 250 pounds and a standard deviation of 10 pounds.

i.e. \mu=250 \sigma=10

Sample size : n= 20

Let \overline{x} sample mean values.

Then, the probability that this sample will have a mean value between 245  and 255 be

P(245

Hence , the probability that this sample will have a mean value between 245  and 255 is 0.9746 .

A circle with area 9pi has a sector with a central angle of 60 degrees What is the area of the sector ?
belka [17]

Area of the sector is 4.71 sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Area of the sector = Area of the circle × (C/360) where C is the central angle.

Area of the sector = πr²(C/360) = 9π × 60/360

                            = 9 × 3.14 × 1/6

                            = 28.26/6 = 4.71 sq units
