Answer:

61 , 63 , 65 , 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the least even number be denoted by x. The sum of the four consecutive even numbers would be:

(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) (x + 6) = 256

First, simplify. Combine all like terms:

x + x + x + x + 2 + 4 + 6 = 256

4x + 12 = 256

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:

4x + 12 (-12) = 256 (-12)

4x = 256 - 12

4x = 144

Next, divide 4 from both sides of the equation:

(4x)/4 = (144)/4

x = 144/4

x = 61

61 is your first number. Find the next 3 consecutive numbers:

x = 61

x + 2 = 63

x + 4 = 65

x + 6 = 67

Check:

61 + 63 + 65 + 67 = 256

256 = 256

Answer:

$1480.24

Step-by-step explanation:

This will be solved by the formula:

FV=I(1+r)^t

Where

FV is the future value (what we are looking for)

I is the initial amount (which is $1000)

r is the rate of interest per period (8% is annual interest, but the period is SEMI-ANNUAL, that's 6 months, half of yearly. So r would be half of 8%, which is 4% or r = 0.04)

t is the times compounding occurs in the whole time (The whole time period is 5 years, but compounding occurs semi-annually, so 5*2 = 10 times. Thus, t = 10)

<em>plugging the info into the formula we will get our answer.</em>

<em>FV=I(1+r)^t\\FV=1000(1+0.04)^{10}\\FV=1000(1.04)^{10}\\FV=1480.24</em>

According to a human modeling​ project, the distribution of foot lengths of women is approximately Normal with a mean of 23.4 ce
stiv31 [10]

Answer: 22.0.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : According to a human modeling​ project, the distribution of foot lengths of women is approximately Normal with \mu=23.3\ cm and \sigma=1.3\ cm.

In the United​ States, a​ woman's shoe size of 6 fits feet that are 22.4 centimeters long.

Then, the probability that women in the United States will wear a size 6 or​ smaller :-

P(x\leq22.4)=P(z\leq\dfrac{22.4-23.4}{1.3})\ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\\approx P(z\leq-0.77)\\\\=1-P(z\leq0.77)\\\\=1-0.77935=0.2206499\approx0.2206=22.06\%

Hence,  the required answer = 22.0.6%
