The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 318. What is the 1st number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x+x+2+x+4=318

3x+6=318

3x=312

x=104

The first number is 104.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2
Answer:  104

========================================================

Explanation:

n = some integer

2n = some even integer

2n+2 = next integer after 2n

2n+4 = next integer after 2n+2

The sequence {2n, 2n+2, 2n+4} represents three consecutive even integers. One follows right after another. A more concrete example of consecutive even integers could be something like {2,4,6} or {8,10,12}. The goal is to find which set like this has their numbers add to 318.

We could guess-and-check our way to the answer. In other words, use trial and error. However, a much more efficient way is to use algebra.

Let's add up the three number expressions of 2n, 2n+2, and 2n+4 to get

(2n)+(2n+2)+(2n+4) = (2n+2n+2n) + (2+4) = 6n+6

The three numbers add to 6n+6

This sum must be 318. Let's set 6n+6 equal to 318 and solve for n

6n+6 = 318

6n = 318-6

6n = 312

n = 312/6

n = 52

-----------------------

If n = 52, then,

first number = 2n = 2*52 = 104second number = 2n+2 = 2*52+2 = 106third number = 2n+2 = 2*52+4 = 108

Note the sequence 104, 106, 108 are all even numbers where they follow right after one another. This shows they are consecutive even numbers.

Furthermore, note how,

104+106+108 = 318

which confirms our answer

A polling firm wants to use a one-sample z interval to estimate what proportion of voters in a country plan on
voting for a certain candidate. They want the margin of error to be no more than £3% at 99% confidence.
What is the smallest sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error?

Answers

Answer:

1844

Step-by-step explanation:

For polling firm survey on voters, the smallest sample size which is required to obtain the desired margin of error, is 1850.

What is margin of error?

The probability or the chances of error while choosing or calculating a sample in a survey is called the margin of error.

[tex]MOE=z\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Here, z is the critical value and n is the sample size.

Here, a polling firm wants to use a one-sample z interval to estimate, the number of proportion of voters in a country plan on voting for a certain candidate.

The margin of error for this test is 3% or 0.03 and the confidence interval is 99 percent.

The z value on the confidence interval of 99 percent is 2.576. Here, the standard deviation for this survey is 50 percent, or 0.50.

Put the value in the above formula as,

[tex]0.03=(2.576)\times\dfrac{0.5}{\sqrt{n}}\\n\approx1850[/tex]

Hence, for polling firm survey on voters, the smallest sample size which is required to obtain the desired margin of error, is 1850.

This year Goran watched movies. He thought that of them were very good. Of the movies he watched, what percentage did he rate as very good?

Answers

Answer: 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Goran watched 55 movies. Out of those movies, he thought 44 were very good.

The question needs to know what percentage this 44 very good movies comprised of the total number of movies.

= Number of very good movies / Total movies * 100%

= 44 / 55 * 100%

= 0.8 * 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

[tex]\angle J=45^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]JI=2\sqrt{15}[/tex]units

We know that

[tex]sin\theta=\frac{Perpendicular\;side}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]sin45=\frac{HI}{2\sqrt{15}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times 2\sqrt{15}=HI[/tex]

Where [tex]sin45^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2\sqrt{15}\times \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{2}}=HI[/tex]

By using rationalization

[tex]HI=\sqrt{30}[/tex] units

[tex]Cos45=\frac{HJ}{2\sqrt{15}}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]cos\theta=\frac{base}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times 2\sqrt{15}=HJ[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2\sqrt{15}\times \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{2}}=HJ[/tex]

[tex]HJ=\sqrt{30}[/tex] units

When two sides are equal then angle made by two equal sides are equal

Therefore,

[tex]\angle J=\angle I=45^{\circ}[/tex]

June was thinking of a number. June subtracts 5.6 from the number and gets an answer of 76.9. Form an equation with x from the information.

Answers

Answer: x - 5.6 = 76.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The number June thought of would give a result of 76.9 if 5.6 were subtracted from it.

Assume that number is x.

If you subtract 5.6 from x, you would get 76.9.

Equation is therefore:

x - 5.6 = 76.9

Solving for x would make x:

x - 5.6 = 76.9

x = 76.9 + 5.6

x = 82.5
