If x is the least common multiple of the set {6, 8, 12} and y is the greatest common factor

Anarel [89]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple of {6,8,12} is 24. This can be intuitively figured by noting that any multiple of 12 is a multiple of 6 and that 12 is 1.5x larger than 8. That means we only have so multiple 12 by 2 and 8 by 3 for them to be equal. The GCF of {20,42,72} is 2 as the prime factorization of 20 is 2x2x5 and 42 is 2x3x7. That means even without having to check 72 (which is clearly even so 2 is a factor), we know that 2 is the greatest common factor that they could share. So X/Y = 24/2 = 12

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are $\frac{2}{5}$

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

When you get to the second checkpoint, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish

so

The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is equal to the total distance multiplied by 1/4

The total distance is 40 miles ( see the attached figure)

so

The distance from the star to the second checkpoint is

$\frac{1}{4}(40)=10\ miles$

<em>Find out the distance from the start to the first checkpoint</em>

Multiply the distance from the star to the second checkpoint by 2/5

$\frac{2}{5}(10)=4\ miles$

A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than ex

Olenka [21]

Answer:

a

The 90% confidence interval that estimate the true proportion of students who receive financial aid is

$0.533 < p < 0.64$

b

$n = 1789$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering question a

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 200

The number of student that receives financial aid is $k = 118$

Generally the sample proportion is

$\^ p = \frac{k}{n}$

=> $\^ p = \frac{118}{200}$

=> $\^ p = 0.59$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 90% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.10$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }$

=> $E = 1.645 * \sqrt{\frac{0.59 (1- 0.59)}{200} }$

=> $E = 0.057$

Generally 90% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\^ p -E < p < \^ p +E$

=> $0.533 < p < 0.64$

Considering question b

From the question we are told that

The margin of error is E = 0.03

From the question we are told the confidence level is 99% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 99 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$[\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )$

=> $n = [\frac{2.58}{0.03} ]^2 * 0.59 (1 - 0.59 )$

=> $n = 1789$

If the date of the second Thursday of the month is a perfect square, what is the date of the last Monday of the month?

Inga [223]

Answer:

last Monday is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

perfect square: 4, 9 , 16

2nd Thursday is a day >5 and < 14 day from the begining of the month, therefore the only day fit the criteria is 9th of the month.

last Monday is 27
