Let 2k represent the original even number (such that k is an integer)
then 2(k + 1) is the next consecutive even number.
4(2k) - 16 = 2(k + 1)
8k - 16 = 2k + 2
6k = 18
k = 3
since 2k represents the original number, then 2(3) = 6 is the oroginal number
Answer: 6
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
no
Step-by-step explanation:
8÷ 1/2
Copy dot flip
8 * 2/1 = 16
Divide 8 things in half you get 16
1/2 of 8 = 1/2 * 8 = 4
Half of 8 things is 4
They are not the same
10/12 + 1/2 : 16/12 : 1 and 4/12.
Answer:
(a) 0.1414
(b) 0.1010
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
The density curve is rectangular in shape.
This implies that the distribution of donations is Uniform.
(b)
Compute the probability of donations at least 85 cents as follows:

![=\frac{1}{99}\times [x]^{99}_{85}\\\\=\frac{99-85}{99}\\\\=0.1414\\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B99%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Bx%5D%5E%7B99%7D_%7B85%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cfrac%7B99-85%7D%7B99%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D0.1414%5C%5C%5C%5C)
Thus, the proportion of donations that are at least 85 cents is 0.1414.
(b)
Compute the probability of donations between 30 and 40 cents as follows:

![=\frac{1}{99}\times [x]^{40}_{30}\\\\=\frac{40-30}{99}\\\\=0.1010](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B99%7D%5Ctimes%20%5Bx%5D%5E%7B40%7D_%7B30%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cfrac%7B40-30%7D%7B99%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D0.1010)
Thus, the probability of donations between 30 and 40 cents is 0.1010.
