Answer:

$-26,-24,-22$

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>The correct question is</u></em>

The sum of three consecutive even integers is -72. what are the three numbers

Let

x ----> the first consecutive even integer

x+2 ----> the second consecutive even integer

x+4 ----> the third consecutive even integer

we know that

$x+(x+2)+(x+4)=-72$

solve for x

$3x+6=-72\\3x=-78\\x=-26$

$x+2=-26+2=-24$

$x+4=-26+4=-22$

therefore

the numbers are

$-26,-24,-22$

How many times does 6 go into 22

sergeinik [125]

Hey!

We can use long division to solve this,
Let's write it.
$6\overline{|\smallspace22}\space\space\space\space$
Then, divide $22$ by $6$ to get $3$ .
$\begin{matrix}\space\space\space\space\space\space\emptyspace3\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\\ 6\overline{|\smallspace22}\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\end{matrix}$
Multiply the quotient by the divisor...
$\begin{matrix}\space\space\space\space\space\space\emptyspace3\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\\ 6\overline{|\smallspace22}\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\\ \space\space\space\space\underline{\emptyspace1\emptyspace8}\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\end{matrix}$
Subtract $18$ from $22$ .
$\begin{matrix}\space\space\space\space\space\space\emptyspace3\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\\ 6\overline{|\smallspace22}\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\\ \space\space\space\space\underline{\emptyspace1\emptyspace8}\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\\ \space\space\space\space\space\space\emptyspace4\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\space\end{matrix}$
As you can see, our answer using long division would be 3 with a remainder of 4.

Thanks!

Using the information regarding proportion of snoring events, choose the correct conclusion for this hypothesis test. H0:p=0.35

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

With the following data, H0:p=0.35 ; Ha:p>0.35 The p-value for this hypothesis test is 0.03. The level of significance is α=0.05.

Since the p value (0.03) is less than alpha (0.05), we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of snoring events compared to other events during a sleep study is more than 35%.
