1/2 + 3/18 = 9/18 + 3/18 = 12/18 = 2/3
3/45 + 6/50 = 1/15 + 3/25 = 5/75 + 9/75 = 14/75
<u>We are given:</u>
An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168
<u>Solving for n:</u>
From the given statement, we can say that:
n(n+2) = 168 [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]
n² + 2n = 168
n² + 2n - 168 = 0 [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]
We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term
n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0
n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0 <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]
(n-12)(n+14) = 0
Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)
Checking the result in both the cases:
(n + 14) = 0/(n-12) (n-12) = 0/(n+14)
n + 14 = 0 n - 12 = 0
n = -14 n = 12
Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n
What does the central limit theorem tell us about the
distribution of those mean ages?
<span>A. </span>Because n>30, the sampling
dist of the mean ages can be approximated by a normal dist with a mean u and a
SD o/sqrt 54,
Whenever n<span>>30 the central limit theory applies.</span>
OK first change 3 3/4 to an improper fraction and that will give you 15/4. so you got that part right. Next, change the division sign to multiplication. then flip the 1/2 to 2/1. Then multiply 15 times 2 and that will give you 30. Then multiply 4 times 1 and that will give you 4. then you will have an answer of 30/4. Finally, since you a have a big number over a small number you divide 30 by 4 and that will give you 7 1/2. So it turns out that your little cheat sheet is wrong because when you check your answer you should go on Math-way to check it. Also, a little background about me is that I am in 8th grade and I am taking algebra 1 too.
