Answer: the player answered 30 questions correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of questions that the player answered correctly.

Let y represent the number of questions that the player answered incorrectly.

The number of questions that the player answered is 40. It means that

x + y = 40- - - - - - - - - - -1

The score on the trivia game is obtained by subtracting the number of incorrect answers from twice the number of correct answers. If the player obtained a score of 50, It means that

2x - y = 50

y = 2x - 50

Substituting y = 2x - 50 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 2x - 50 = 40

3x - 50 = 40

3x = 40 + 50 = 90

x = 90/3

x = 30

Prove the following statement.
jolli1 [7]
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

As per the question,

Let a be any positive integer and b = 4.

According to Euclid division lemma , a = 4q + r

where 0 ≤ r < b.

Thus,

r = 0, 1, 2, 3

Since, a is an odd integer, and

The only valid value of r = 1 and 3

So a = 4q + 1 or 4q + 3

<u>Case 1 :-</u> When a = 4q + 1

On squaring both sides, we get

a² = (4q + 1)²

   = 16q² + 8q + 1

   = 8(2q² + q) + 1

   = 8m + 1 , where m = 2q² + q

<u>Case 2 :-</u> when a = 4q + 3

On squaring both sides, we get

a² = (4q + 3)²

   = 16q² + 24q + 9

   = 8 (2q² + 3q + 1) + 1

   = 8m +1, where m = 2q² + 3q +1

Now,

<u>We can see that at every odd values of r, square of a is in the form of 8m +1.</u>

Also we know, a = 4q +1 and 4q +3 are not divisible by 2 means these all numbers are odd numbers.

Hence , it is clear that square of an odd positive is in form of 8m +1

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

0.08065

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a recent study,1 2006 randomly selected US adults (age 18 or older) were asked to give the number of people in the last six months with whom you discussed matters that are important to you.

If X is random variable then X has mean 2.2 and s = 1.4

n=2006

Std error of mean =\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{2006} } \\=0.03126

For 99% since sample size is large, t and z distn almost coincide.

Hence we can take 2.58 as critical value

Margin of error at 99% =2.58*0.03126\\=0.08065
