Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the largest of 3 consecutive integers such that the sum of the first and third is equal to three times the second?

3 consecutive angles

= x, x + 1, x + 2

We are told in the question that:

the sum of the first and third is equal to three times the second

a + c = 3b

x + x + 2 = 3(x + 1)

2x + 2 = 3x + 3

3x - 2x = 2 - 3

x = -1

The largest of the three numbers is the third number

= x + 2

x = -1

x + 2 = -1 + 2

The third and largest number is 1

A scientist wishes to estimate the mean breaking strength of a certain type of steel rod within 3.0 psi with 95% confidence. Bas
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:97 rods

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of steel rods for 95% confidence level

n=\left ( \frac{Z_\frac{\alpha }{2}\times \hat{\sigma }}{E} \right )^2

Z_\frac{\alpha }{2}=1.96

E=3

\hat{\sigma }=15

Substituting values

n=\left ( \frac{1.96\times 15}{3}\right )^2

n=96.04\approx 97

Thus 97 rods is tested
