The answer to your question is 2
Let the first integer be x. Then the next consecutive integer is x+1.
Translating the word problem into symbols, x(x+1)-20(x+1) = 442.
Then x^2 + x - 20x - 20 = 442
or x^2 - 19x - 462 = 0
Solve by completing the square:
x^2 - 19x + 90.25 - 90.25 - 462 = 0
(x-9.5)^2 - 552.25 = 0
Taking the positive square root of both sides, we get x-9.5 = 23.5, or
x = 33
The two consecutive integers are 33 and 34.
Check: (33)(34)-20(34) = 442 (as expected).
Answer:
£17253.53 to the nearest hundredth.
Step-by-step explanation:
Decreasing by 9,5% is equivalent to multiplying by 1 - 0.095 = 0.905.
19064.67 * 0.905
= £17253.52635.
A. The mean and standard deviation.
The mean of a sampling distribution is approximately equal to the mean of the population. Given that the mean of the population is equal to 174.5, the mean of the sampling distribution is also this value.
The standard deviation of a sample distribution is equal to,
u(m) = u/sqrt n
Substituting the known values,
u(m) = 6.9 / sqrt 25 = 1.38
b. Get the z-score of both items,
z-score = (data point - mean) / standard deviation
z-score of 172.5
z-score = (172.5 - 174.5) / 1.38 = -1.49
This translates to 0.068.
z-score of 175.8
z-score = (175.8 - 174.5) / 1.38 = 0.94
This translates to 0.83.
The difference between the two z-scores is 0.762.
The number of samples with this height is 0.762(200) which is equal to approximately 152.
c. z-score of 172 centimeters
z-score = (172 - 174.5) / 1.38
z-score = -1.81
This translates to 0.03.
The number of people with this height from the sample is (0.03)(200) = 6
