Answer:

The given statement is not always true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is not true,

We have the statement that,

p² - 1 is even number; if p is any prime number.

But this statement is not true always as,

Examples: 2 is a prime number and 2² - 1 = 3

But, 3 is not even.

If the shaded cross sections of the solids have the same area, which of the following corresponds to the value of a: the side le
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

4\sqrt{\pi}

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The cross section of a sphere is a circle with area  \pi r^2, where radius is given as 4
  • The cross section of the cube is a square with area  a^2, where a is side length of square

The circle area = the square area. Thus we have:

\pi r^2 = a^2 \\\pi(4)^2=a^2\\16\pi=a^2\\\sqrt{16\pi}=a\\ a=\sqrt{16} \sqrt{\pi} \\a=4\sqrt{\pi}

Answer:

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a sample of executives, of size n=160, and the proportion that prefer trucks is 26%.

We have to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

The sample proportion is p=0.26.

 

The standard error of the proportion is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.26*0.74}{160}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.0012}=0.0347

The critical z-value for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:

MOE=z\cdot \sigma_p=1.96 \cdot 0.0347=0.068

Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26-0.068=0.192\\\\UL=p+z \cdot \sigma_p = 0.26+0.068=0.328

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is (0.192, 0.328).

We can claim with 95% confidence that the proportion of executives that prefer trucks is between 19.2% and 32.8%.

According to the Rational Root Theorem, the following are potential fox) 2x2 +2x 24.roots of -4, -3, 2, 3, 4Which are actual roo
aksik [14]

Correct Answer: First Option

Explanation:

There are two ways to find the actual roots:

a) Either solve the given quadratic equation to find the actual roots

b) Or substitute the value of Possible Rational Roots one by one to find out which satisfies the given equation.

Method a is more convenient and less time consuming, so I'll be solving the given equation by factorization to find its actual roots. To find the actual roots set the given equation equal to zero and solve for x as given below:

2x^{2} +2x-24=0\\ \\ 2(x^{2} +x-12)=0\\ \\ x^{2} +x-12=0\\ \\ x^{2} +4x-3x-12=0\\ \\ x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\ \\ (x-3)(x+4)=0\\ \\ x-3=0, x=3\\ \\ or\\\\x+4=0, x=-4

This means the actual roots of the given equation are 3 and -4. So first option gives the correct answer.

A fish tank is three-quarters (3/4) full. two-thirds (2/3) of the water leaks out, leaving 10 gallons of water in the tank. what
Naily [24]

To solve this problem, all we have to do is to thoroughly analyze the situation step by step.

First let us work on the remaining 10 gallons of water in the tank. We are given that 2 / 3 of the water initially in the tank leaked out. Therefore this means that we are left with 1 / 3 the original amount of water which is 10 gallons, hence:

(1 / 3) Vi = 10 gallons

where Vi is the initial volume of water inside the tank, calculating for Vi:

Vi = 3 (10 gallons)

Vi = 30 gallons

 

We are also given that this initial volume of water is just 3 / 4 of the total capacity of the tank, therefore:

(3 / 4) Vc = Vi

where Vc is the volume capacity of the tank, calculating for Vc:

Vc = 4 Vi / 3

Vc = 4 (30 gallons) / 3

Vc = 40 gallons

 

Answer:

<span>Capacity of the fish tank is 40 gallons</span>

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

$19,153.26.

Explanation:

She will receive 42% of her average annual salary. This salary was $45,603.

To find 42% of a number, we first convert the percent to a decimal: 42% = 42/100 = 0.42.

Next we multiply this by the number we're taking the percent of:

0.42(45603) = 19153.26.
