Answer:

8 and 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive integers be x - 1 and x

Smaller = x-1

Largere = x

If the square of the smaller integer is nineteen more than five times the larger integer, then;

(x-1)² = 19 + 5x

Expand

x²-2x+1= 19+5x

x²-2x-5x+1-19 -0

x²-7x-18 =0

Factorize

x²-9x+2x-18 =0

x(x-9)+2(x-9) = 0

(x+2) = 0 and x - 9 = 0

x = -2 and 9

SInce x cannot be negative;

x = 9

Smaller number = 9-1

Smaller number = 8

Hence the two consecutive integers are 8 and 9

Automobile mechanics conduct diagnostic tests on 150 new cars of particular make and model to determine the extent to which they
galben [10]

Answer: 0.0944

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size of cars : n= 150, sample size is greater than 30 , so we use z-test.

Number of cars tested do have faulty catalytic converters =42

Then the proportion of cars   have faulty catalytic converters : \hat{p}=\dfrac{42}{150}=0.28

Critical value of z for 99% confidence level : z_{\alpha/2}=2.576

Formula for Margin of error :

E=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

E=(2.576)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.28(1-0.28)}{150}}\\\\=0.0944377199216\approx0.0944\ \text{Rounded to four decimal places}

Hence, the required margin of error = 0.0944

Which undefined geometric term is described as an infinite set of points that has length but not width?
Ivahew [28]
<span>The correct answer is line.

Explanation:
A line contains an infinite number of points, but since each point has no width or length to speak of, there is no width to a line. Additionally, it has infinite length since there is an infinite number of points included in it.</span>
