You need to find the LCM of 13 and 14. Would you rather use their multiples or their prime factorizations? Explain.

Answer:

I would rather use their multiples.

Step-by-step explanation:

With 13 and 14, neither number has many factors (and few prime factors, for that matter) so factoring would be pretty much useless. If you wanted to use the prime factors of 14 (7 and 2) multiplying either of them by 13 would not give you the LCM. Actually the LCM is just 13*14 which is 182.

Good luck!

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Yes, we can assume that the percent of female athletes graduating from the University of Colorado is less than 67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find p-value first:

z statistic = (p⁻ - p0) / √[p0 x (1 - p0) / n]

p⁻ = X / n = 21 / 38 = 0.5526316

the alternate hypothesis states that p-value must be under the normal curve, i.e. the percent of female athletes graduating remains at 67%

H1: p < 0.67

z = (0.5526316 - 0.67) / √[0.67 x (1 - 0.67) / 38] = -0.1173684 / 0.076278575

z = -1.538681

using a p-value calculator for z = -1.538681, confidence level of 5%

p-value = .062024, not significant

Since p-value is not significant, we must reject the alternate hypothesis and retain the null hypothesis.

A cooler contains eleven bottles of sports drink: five lemon-line flavored and six orange flavored. You randomly grab a bottle a

Elenna [48]

Answer:

The probability that you would choose lemon-lime and then orange is 3/11 =.273.

Step-by-step explanation:

These are 'dependent events', which mean that your the event is affected by previous events. So, because you have eleven total bottles (five lemon-lime and six orange) and you do not replace the first bottle, that would only leave you with ten bottles remaining. The probability that you will pick the lemon-lime on the first choice is 5/11 because all of the bottles are there. However, your second choice will only include ten total bottles since you already took one. The probability that you would choose orange would be 6/10. When you multiply these two fractions and reduce to simplest form, you get 3/11.
