1+3=4

A counterexample is an a example that proves the statement false.

1+3 are not even numbers but they equal an even one, so it just proved the statement wrong.

An engineer is designing a storage compartment in a spacecraft .The compartment must be 2 meters longer than it is wide, and its

serg [7]

Answer:

Let x be the width of the compartment,

Then according to the question,

The length of the compartment = x + 2

And the depth of the compartment = x -1

Thus, the volume of the compartment, $V = (x+2)x(x-1) = x^3 + x^2 - 2x$

But, the volume of the compartment must be 8 cubic meters.

⇒ $x^3 + x^2 - 2x = 8$

⇒ $x^3 + x^2 - 2x - 8=0$

⇒ $(x-2)(x^2+3x+4)=0$

If $x-2=0\implies x = 2$ and if $x^2+3x+4=0\implies x = \text{complex number}$

But, width can not be the complex number.

Therefore, width of the compartment = 2 meter.

Length of the compartment = 2 + 2 = 4 meter.

And, Depth of the compartment = 2 - 1 = 1 meter.

Since, the function that shows the volume of the compartment is,

$V(x) = x^3 + x^2 - 2x$

When we lot the graph of that function we found,

V(x) is maximum for infinite.

But width can not infinite,

Therefore, the maximum value of V(x) will be 8.

Suppose that a recent poll found that 49% of adults believe that the overall state of moral values is poor. Complete parts (a)

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The mean of X is 122.5 and the standard deviation is 7.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they believe that the overall state of moral values is poor, or they do not believe this. The probability of an adult believing this is independent of other adults. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$
