Answer:
2, 4, 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First of all arrange the data set in either ascending or descending order.
12, 19, 24, 26, 31, 38, 53. N = 7 (number of data items)
Median position = 1/2(N + 1)th item = 1/2(7 + 1)th item = 1/2(8)th item = 4th item = 26
First quatile = 1/4(N + 1)th item = 1/4(7 + 1)th item = 1/4(8)th item = 2nd item = 19
Third quatile = 3/4(N + 1)th item = 3/4(7 + 1)th item = 3/4(8)th item = 6th item = 38
Interquatile range = Third quartile - first quatile = 38 - 19 = 19
The answer: The 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________
To represent 3 (three consecutive odd integers):
____________________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer.
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer.
____________________________________
The sum of these three consecutive odd integers:
__________________________________________
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 3x + 6 ;
_________________________________________
Six ("6") times the sum of these 3 (three) consecutive odd integers =
_________________
6*(3x+6) = 6(3x + 6) = -18 (as given in the problem).
_____________________________________________
Given: 6(3x + 6) = -18 ; We can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "6", to cancel the "6" on the left-hand side into a "1";
__________________________________________
{6(3x + 6) } / 6 = -18 / 6 ; to get:
________________________________________
3x + 6 = -3 ; Now, we can subtract "6" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
__________________________________
3x + 6 - 6 = -3 - 6 ; to get:
__________________________________
3x = -9 ; Now, we can divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "3"; to isolate "x" on one side of the question; and solve for "x" ;
___________________________________
3x / 3 = -9 / 3 ; x = - 3 ;
_____________________
Remember, from above:
__________________________
Let "x" be the first odd integer. We know that "x = -3".
Is this an odd integer? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+2)" be next consecutive odd integer. So (x+2) = (-3+2) = -1.
Is this an odd integer? Yes! Is this "{-1}" the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-3}"? Yes!
____________________________________
Let "(x+4") be the third odd integer. So (x+4) = (-3+4) = 1.
Is this an odd integer? Yes! Is this "{1"} the next consecutive odd integer with respect to "{-1}"? Yes!
___________________________
So, our 3 (three) consecutive odd integers are: -3, -1, 1.
___________________________
To check our work: Is 6 times the sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers, equal to "(-18)" ?
The sum of our 3 consecutive odd integers = -3 + (-1) + 1 = -3 - 1 + 1 = -3.
6 * -3 = ? -18? Yes!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(a,9).......we dont know " a " (or x) but we do know y...it is 9
so sub in 9 for y and solve for x
y = 2x + 1
9 = 2x + 1
9 - 1 = 2x
8 = 2x
8/2 = x
4 = x <======= ur answer is D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Type of Flowers = 5
To choose = 4
Required
Number of ways 4 can be chosen
The first flower can be chosen in 5 ways
The second flower can be chosen in 4 ways
The third flower can be chosen in 3 ways
The fourth flower can be chosen in 2 ways
Total Number of Selection = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2
Total Number of Selection = 120 ways;
Alternatively, this can be solved using concept of Permutation;
Given that 4 flowers to be chosen from 5,
then n = 5 and r = 4
Such that
Substitute 5 for n and 4 for r
Hence, the number of ways the florist can chose 4 flowers from 5 is 120 ways
