The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 206. What is the value of the smallest number?

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

102

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the numbers are two consecutive even numbers, we can write an equation like this where n represents the 2 numbers.

n + (n+2) = 206

Simplify the left side:

n + (n+2) = 206 -----> 2n+2 = 206

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2n = 206-2 -----> 2n = 204

Now divide 204 by 2:

n = 204/2 -----> n = 102

Distribute.

12x-15+8x+24

12x+8x= 20x

24-15= 9

20x+9 <---- simplified expression

Write a quadratic function, in standard form, that fits the set of points. Solve it as a system of three equations. (-4, 9), (0,

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$\boxed{y=2x^2+4x-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function be

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

We substitute $(-4,9)$ into the equation to obtain;

$9=a(-4)^2+b(-4)+c$

$\Rightarrow 9=16a-4b+c---(1)$

We substitute $(0,-7)$ to obtain;

$-7=a(0)^2+b(0)^2+c$

$\Rightarrow c=-7---(2)$

We finally substitute $(1,-1)$ to obtain;

$-1=a(1)^2+b(1)^2+c$

$\Rightarrow -1=a+b+c---(3)$

We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;

$9=16a-4b-7$

$16a-4b=16$

$\Rightarrow 4a-b=4---(4)$

$\Rightarrow -1=a+b-7$

$\Rightarrow a+b=6---(5)$

We add equation (4) and (5) to get;

$4a+a=6+4$

$\Rightarrow 5a=10$

$\Rightarrow a=2$

We put $a=2$ into equation (5) to get;

$2+b=6$

$\Rightarrow b=6-2$

$\Rightarrow b=4$

The reqiured quadratic function is

$y=2x^2+4x-7$

The amount that households pay service providers for access to the Internet varies quite a bit, but the mean monthly fee is $50

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

(a) See Explanation

(b) $\bar x =50$ and $\sigma_x = 0.8944$

(c) The shape is normal

(d) $P(\bar x > 55) = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\mu = \$50$ -- mean

$\sigma = \$20$ --- standard deviation

$n=500$ --- sample size

Solving (a): The reason we can't determine the probability that an amount to access internet by a household will exceed $55.

The question says that a lot of households pay low rates, but the percentage of the households in this category is not given. This means that it is impossible to determine the shape of the distribution.

Hence, the probability cannot be calculated.

Solving (b): Sample mean and Sample standard deviation

The sample mean estimates the population mean

So:

$\bar x =\mu$

$\bar x =50$

The sample standard deviation is calculated as thus:

$\sigma_x = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt n}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{20}{\sqrt{500}}$

$\sigma_x = \frac{20}{22.36}$

$\sigma_x = 0.8944$

Solving (c): The shape of the distribution.

We have:

$n = 500$ --- The sample size

According to Central limit theorem, When the sample size is greater than 30, then the shape of the distribution is normal.

<em>Hence, the shape is normal</em>

Solving (d): $P(\bar x \ge 55)$

Calculate the test statistic (t)

$t = \frac{\bar x - \mu}{\sigma}$

$t = \frac{55 - 50}{0.8945}$

$t = \frac{5}{0.8945}$

$t = 5.590$

So:

$P(\bar x > 55) = P(t > 5.590)$

Referencing the z table, we have:

$P(t > 5.590) = 0$

Hence:

$P(\bar x > 55) = 0$
