Arnold had three pieces of different colored strings that are all the same length. Arnold cut the blue string into 2 equal size

lengths. he cut the red string into 3 equal-size length, and the green string into 6 equal-size. He needs to cut the strings so each color has the same number of equal-size lengths. What is the least number of equal size lengths each color string could have?

he cut the blue string in half.
he cut the red string in thirds
he cut the green string in sixths.

2(half) goes into 6
3(thirds) go into 6
the sixths stay the same

Answer:

Least number of equal length = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Arnold had three pieces of different colored strings that are all the same length. Arnold cut the string

Blue- 2 equal size length

Red- 3 equal size length

Green- 6 equal size length

To find : The least number of equal size lengths each color string could have

Solution :  To find the least number we find the least common multiples of 2,3,6 or L.C.M of 2,3,6

Multiple of 2 = 2,4,6,8....

Multiple of 3 = 3,6,9....

Multiple of 6 = 6,12,18....

So the least number of equal length is 6.

or   L.C.M of 2,3,6 = 6      

Therefore, 6 is the least number of equal size lengths each color string could have.

You need to write an essay that has at least 500 words you have written 285 words so far right and solve an inequality that Reec
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The minimum number of words left to write is 215

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

w -----> the number of words left to write

we know that

The number of words left to write plus the words written so far must be greater than or equal to 500 words

Remember that the word "at least" means "greater than or equal to"

so

w+285\geq 500                

Solve for w                        

Subtract 285 both sides        

w\geq 500-285\\w\geq 215

The minimum number of words left to write is 215

The Wall Street Journal reports that 33% of taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes between $30,000 and $60,000 itemized deduction
Len [333]

Answer:

(a) <em>                             </em><em>n</em> :      20           50          100         500

P (-200 < <em>X</em> - <em>μ </em>< 200) : 0.2886    0.4444    0.5954    0.9376

(b) The correct option is (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the amount of deductions for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes between $30,000 and $60,000 itemized deductions on their federal income tax return.

The mean amount of deductions is, <em>μ</em> = $16,642 and standard deviation is, <em>σ</em> = $2,400.

Assuming that the random variable <em>X </em>follows a normal distribution.

(a)

Compute the probability that a sample of taxpayers from this income group who have itemized deductions will show a sample mean within $200 of the population mean as follows:

  • For a sample size of <em>n</em> = 20

P(\mu-200

                                           =P(-0.37

  • For a sample size of <em>n</em> = 50

P(\mu-200

                                           =P(-0.59

  • For a sample size of <em>n</em> = 100

P(\mu-200

                                           =P(-0.83

  • For a sample size of <em>n</em> = 500

P(\mu-200

                                           =P(-1.86

<em>                                  n</em> :      20           50          100         500

P (-200 < <em>X</em> - <em>μ </em>< 200) : 0.2886    0.4444    0.5954    0.9376

(b)

The law of large numbers, in probability concept, states that as we increase the sample size, the mean of the sample (\bar x) approaches the whole population mean (\mu_{x}).

Consider the probabilities computed in part (a).

As the sample size increases from 20 to 500 the probability that the sample mean is within $200 of the population mean gets closer to 1.

So, a larger sample increases the probability that the sample mean will be within a specified distance of the population mean.

Thus, the correct option is (b).

The art museum is 8 1/2 miles from Alison's house. Alison has ridden her bike 2/3 of the way there so far. How far how she gone?
ozzi
Alison is 2/3 of the way to the museum, so the answer is about 2/3 of 9, or 6 miles.  Let's calculate it:

  2                              17 miles
---- * (8 1/2 miles) = --------------     She has ridden (17/3) miles, which is 5 2/3 
 3                                    3             miles.
