he ratio of 3:1 involves 4 units. 3 men +1 woman.

Find how many people each unit represents:

4units 2476 people

Therefore each unit represents 2476/4 = 619 people per unit

Now, take the ratio, and multiply up:

3:1 => 3619:1619 => 1857:619 You check this is right by adding the two fractions:

1857 men + 619 women = 2476 people therefore, we are correct

The number of men more than women = Number of men - Number of women

= 1857-619 = 1238 and that is your answer

6.4 Q5.) Use Simpson's rule to approximate

mylen [45]

For f(x) = 12/(1+x²), and subinterval width 4, you are to evaluate f(1), f(5), and f(9) and combine them according to the rule

... Integral ≈ (4/3)(f(1) + 4·f(5) + f(9)) = (4/3)(6.0000 + 4·0.4615 + 0.1463) ≈ 10.66

_____

Simpson's rule has you combine values of f(x) with coefficients 1, 4, 2, 4, ..., 2, 4, 1, where those values are evenly spaced at the edges of an even number of subintervals. Since we have only 3 values to combine, there are no terms that have a coefficient of 2. The entire sum is multiplied by 1/3 the subinterval width.
