Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor of whole numbers is the largest number that is a factor of all numbers. That is, it is the largest number that can divide all numbers.

In this case, the largest number that divide all the numbers is 2, who can divide 4, 18 and 12.

So:

$(4k, 18k^{4} ,12)= 2(2k,9k^{4} , 6)$

Which statements about the factors of the terms in the expression 20 a + 15 a b + 24 b are true? Select three options.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Following are the true statements

2. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, and a.

3. The factors common to 20a and 24b are 1, 2, and 4.

5. The GCF of the expression is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression is 20a + 15ab + 24b

Now lets have a look at each of the options provided!

1. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, a, and b.

False

As you can see there is no b in 20a term only 1,5,a are common hence it is false.

2. The factors common to 20a and 15ab are 1, 5, and a.

True

The terms 20a and 15ab are divisible by 1,5,a hence it is true.

3. The factors common to 20a and 24b are 1, 2, and 4.

True

The terms 20a and 24b are divisible by 1,2,4 hence it is true

4. The GCF of the expression is ab.

False

20a + 15ab + 24b

As you can see ab is not common in all of the terms hence it cannot be greatest common factor

5. The GCF of the expression is 1

True

Factor of 20 are: 2,2,5,1

Factor of 15 are: 3,5,1

Factor of 24 are: 2,2,2,3,1

As you can see the only common factor among all the terms is 1 hence GCF is 1.

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) n : 20 50 100 500

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

(b) The correct option is (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X 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, μ = $16,642 and standard deviation is, σ = $2,400.

Assuming that the random variable X 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 n = 20

$P(\mu-200$

$=P(-0.37$

For a sample size of n = 50

$P(\mu-200$

$=P(-0.59$

For a sample size of n = 100

$P(\mu-200$

$=P(-0.83$

For a sample size of n = 500

$P(\mu-200$

$=P(-1.86$

n : 20 50 100 500

P (-200 < X - μ < 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).

Describe any domain restrictions that make sense for each of these scenarios: The price of a stock fluctuates several times thro

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

a) Restriction: days of the year (a discrete time)

b) The time the ball is on the air: t = 0, until the balls touchs the ground (any real value from t = 0 to t when the ball hits the ground)

c) Any positive real value: x ≥ 0

Explanation:

The domain is the set of elements that can be inputs of the function.

1. The price of a stock fluctuates several times throughout the year as a function of time.

The input variable is the time through out the year.

If you assume that the fluctuaion is recorded once a day, and not every second, the logical assumption is that the time is a day of the year.

Thus, the restricion is the days of the year.

You could represent them in different forms, like DD/MM/YY, or even as a number from 1 to 365 if it covers just one year.

2. A ball is hit into the air by a baseball player, rises until it reaches its highest point, and then falls into left field.

The domain is the time the ball is on the air, which may be any real value from t = 0, until the balls touchs the ground.

It is not restricted to integer numbers.

3. The volume of a spherical balloon increases as the balloon is blown up and decreases as air is let out of it.

The inputs of the function are amounts of air, which may be measured as number of moles.

The number of moles can be any real value equal or greater than zero.

Thus, the domain is the positive real values x ≥ 0.

Bob and Nina make dog leashes . Bob can make 7 leashes in 2 hours and nina can make 4 leashes in 1 hour enter an equation that c

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Number of leashes Bob can make in 2 hours = 7

Number of leashes Bob can make in 1 hour = 7÷2 = 3.5

Let, Bob takes total x hours.

Number of leashes Nina can make in 1 hour = 4

Let, Nina takes total x hours.

∴ The equation that can be used to find the number of hours it takes bob and Nina to make 60 leashes is given by-

3.5x+4x = 60.

7.5x = 60

This equation can be used to find the number of hours taken by Bob and Nina by putting different values of x and y which satisfies above equation.
