Answer:

  16

Step-by-step explanation:

There may be a formal way to solve simultaneous Diophantine equations, but I don't know what it is. So, I addressed this by solving them 2 at a time.

First of all, we want to find a relation between integers p and q such that ...

  21p+10 = 23q +11

  21p -23q = 1 . . . . . . subtract 23q+10

Using the extended Euclidean algorithm or trial and error or astute observation, we find that (p, q) = (11, 10) is a solution to this equation. Then we can write p and q as ...

  • p = 23n+11
  • q = 21n+10

for some integer n.

Then our original numbers become ...

  21p+10 = 21(23n+11)+10 = 483n +241 . . . . for some integer n

For this to be a 4-digit number, we must have n such that

  1000 ≤ 483n +241 ≤ 9999

  1.6 < n < 20.2

__

Modulo 25, the number (483n+241) is ...

  8n +16

and we want that value to be 12:

  (8n +16) mod 25 = 12

  (8n +4) mod 25 = 0 . . . . . subtract 12

  4(2n+1) mod 25 = 0 . . . .  factor out 4

For this to be true, we must have 2n+1 be a multiple of 25. The only value of n that is in the required interval [2, 20] is n=12.

__

When n=12, 483n+241 = 6037. The sum of digits of 6037 is 16.

Answer:

p value = 0.3122

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Pedro thinks that he has a special relationship with the number 3. In particular,

Normally for a die to show 3, probability p = \frac{1}{6} =0.1667

Or proportion p = 0.1667

Pedro claims that this probability is more than 0.1667

H_0 = P =0.1667______H_a = P>0.1667_____

where P is the sample proportion.

b) n=30 and P = 6/30 =0.20

Mean difference = 0.2-0.1667=0.0333

Std error for proportion = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\=0.0681

Test statistic Z = p difference/std error =  0.4894

p value = 0.3122

p >0.05

So not significant difference between the two proportions.
