Why are the divisibility rules for 2, 3, and 5 very useful for determining prime and composite numbers

Answer:

option 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

alright, ima explain each option.

1. "smallest odd numbers" 2 is an even number. that's out of the playing field.

2. "add up to 10" sure, they do add up to 10, but finding prime and composite numbers are all about division and multiplication.

3. this is true. 2, 3, and 5 are all prime numbers, and they have the nice divisibility rules. [ for 2, it has to be even, for 5, it has to end in 0 or 5, and 3 has to have the sum of its digits being divisible by 3. ]

4. they do multiply to 30, but this does not help break the composite numbers down.

5. we cannot make every number with just these. we can not multiply any other whole number to get 7 for per example, because it's a prime number.

Prove that if b is a square matrix then b+b^t is symmetric

WARRIOR [948]

A matrix $\mathbf X$ is symmetric if $\mathbf X=\mathbf X^\top$ . We have

$(\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+(\mathbf B^\top)^\top=\mathbf B^\top+\mathbf B=\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top$

and so $\mathbf B+\mathbf B^\top$ is indeed symmetric.

The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article indicating differences in perception of sexual harassment on the job between men

Komok [63]

Answer:

Critical value: b. 2.33

As the test statistic z=7.17 is greater than the critical value, it falls in the rejection region.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of women who think sexual harassment is a major problem in the American workplace is significantly higher than the proportion of men.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the proportion of women who think sexual harassment is a major problem in the American workplace is significantly higher than the proportion of men.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

$H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2> 0$

The significance level is 0.01.

The sample 1 (women), of size n1=150 has a proportion of p1=0.62.

The sample 2 (men), of size n2=200 has a proportion of p2=0.24.

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=0.38.

$p_d=p_1-p_2=0.62-0.24=0.38$

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

$p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{93+48}{150+200}=\dfrac{141}{350}=0.403$

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

$s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.403*0.597}{150}+\dfrac{0.403*0.597}{200}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.001604+0.001203}=\sqrt{0.002807}=0.053$

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

$z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{0.38-0}{0.053}=\dfrac{0.38}{0.053}=7.17$

The critical value for a right-tailed test with a signficance level of 0.01 is zc=2.33 (see picture attached).

As the test statistic z=7.17 is greater than the critical value, it falls in the rejection region.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of women who think sexual harassment is a major problem in the American workplace is significantly higher than the proportion of men.
