Find three consecutive even integers whose sum is −24

Answer: -10,-8,-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be:

 x, x+2 and  x+4 the three consecutive even integers whose sum is -24

Then, we can write this expression:

 x+(x+2)+(x+4)=-24

Now, we must solve for "x":

3x+6=-24\\\\3x=-24-6\\\\3x=-30\\\\x=\frac{-30}{3}\\\\x=-10

Then you get that the others integers are:

x+2=-10+2=-8

x+4=-10+4=-6

Therefore, the  three consecutive even integers whose sum is -24 are:

-10,-8,-6

For this case we have that the sum of 3 consecutive integers is 24, if we represent by means of an equation we have:

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = - 24\\x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -24\\3x + 6 = -24\\3x = -24-6\\x = \frac {-30} {3}\\x = -10

Thus, the three consecutive numbers are:

x = -10\\x = -10 + 2= -8\\x = -10 + 4 = -6

Answer:

-10,-8,-6

The weight of baby goats is believed to be Normally distributed, with a mean of 5.75 pounds. The average weight of a random samp
Julli [10]

Answer:

The standard error of the mean is 0.0783.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem helps us find the standard error of the mean:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

The standard deviation of the sample is the same as the standard error of the mean. So

SE_{M} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In this problem, we have that:

\sigma = 0.35, n = 20

So

SE_{M} = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

SE_{M} = \frac{0.35}{\sqrt{20}}

SE_{M} = 0.0783

The standard error of the mean is 0.0783.

Somebody Please Help!!!
Finger [1]

Answer:

11) 153, 85, 238 12) 12, 15, 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of these shapes, you have to cut them into two seperate shapes as shown the in the image: Shape 1 and Shape 2

11) Let Shape 1 be the rectangle: 17×9=153

let Shape 2 be the triangle: \frac{1}{2}×10×8.5=42.5×2=85

Total area: 153 + 85 = 238

12) Let cut this shape vertically where you'll have a rectangle thats 3 by 4 and a rectangle that's 5 by 3

Shape 1: 3×4=12

Shape 2: 5×3=15

Total area: 15 + 12 = 27
