Karolina [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

-83, -82, and -81

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Declare your variable

Let x represent the largest of the 3 consecutive integer

Integer 1: x

Integer 2: x + 1

Integer 3: x + 2

Step 2: Create an equation

(x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = -246

Step 3: Solve

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = -246

3x + 3 = -246

3x = -249

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-249}{3}

x = -83

FInd the other 2 numbers

Integer 1: -83

Integer 2: -82

Integer 3: -81

Step 4: Therefore Statement

Therefore the 3 consecutive numbers are -83, -82, and -81

patriot [66]

Answer:

0.9586

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

7 children out of every 1000 children suffer from DIPG

A screening test designed contains 98% sensitivity & 84% specificity.

Now, from above:

The probability that the children have DIPG is:

\mathbf{P(positive) = P(positive \  |  \ DIPG) \times P(DIPG) + P(positive  \ | \  not \DIPG)\times P(not  \ DIPG)}= 0.98\imes( \dfrac{7}{1000}) + (1-0.84) \times (1 - \dfrac{7}{1000})

= (0.98 × 0.007) + 0.16( 1 - 0.007)

= 0.16574

So, the probability of not having DIPG now is:

P(not \ DIPG \  |  \ positive) = \dfrac{ P(positive  \ | \  not DIPG)\timesP(not \  DIPG)} { P(positive)}

=\dfrac{ (1-0.84)\times (1 - \dfrac{7}{1000}) }{ 0.16574}

=\dfrac{ 0.16 ( 1 - 0.007) }{0.16574}

= 0.9586

The output of a function or relation, or the set of y-values that a graph is defined for, is called the ___.
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Range

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of a graph tells you <u>all of the possible y-values</u> for it.

There is also the domain, which tells you all of the possible x-values.

For example, if you have this relation, that only has these points:

(1, 2) (2, 4) (3, 6)

Then the range is {2, 4, 6}. This means the "y" can ONLY be the numbers stated here.

The domain would be {1, 2, 3}.

A box contains 9 green balls, 16 red balls, 9 white balls, and 6 pink balls. What is the probability of drawing a pink ball out
Viefleur [7K]
This is an example of "classical probability". Whenever the probability of all events is the same, then the probability is calculated by dividing the number of "favorable events" of total events.

For this problem, the total number of events is the total number of balls, it is 40. The number of favorable events it the number of pink balls, it is 6.

So, the answer is 6/40, which can be written as 3/20.

What happens to the diagonal of a rectangle when the rectangle is reflected across a line of symmetry? What does this suggest ab
SIZIF [17.4K]

When you reflect a diagonal over a line of symmetry, the diagonal will land perfectly on the other diagonal (and vice versa). This suggests that one diagonal is a mirror copy of the other.

Another way to put it: The vertex points of the rectangle will swap when we reflect over a line of symmetry. A diagonal is simply the opposite vertex points joined together. So this is why the diagonals swap places (because the vertices line up perfectly when you apply the reflection).
