Prove that for all integers m and n, m - n is even if, and only if, both m and n are even or both m and n are odd.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that m and n are both even numbers.

So we can express them as the product of 2 and another number.

● n = 2×a

● m = 2×b

● m-n = 2b-2a

● m-n = 2(b-a)

m-n is an even number since it is divisible by 2.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Suppose that both n and m are odd numbers.

● n = 2a+1

● m = 2b+1

● m-n = 2b+1-(2a+1)

● m-n = 2b+1-2a-1

● m-n = 2b-2a

● m-n = 2(b-a)

So m-n is even since it is divisible by 2.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Suppose that m is odd and n is even ir vice versa

● n = 2a or n= 2a+1

● m = 2b+1 or m = 2b

● m-n = 2b+1-2a or m-n = 2b-2a-1

● m-n = 2(b-a) +1 or m-n = 2(b-a)-1

In both cases m-n isn't even.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

So m-n is even if and only if m and n are odd or m and are even

Answer 2

Answer:

Case 1

both m and n are even

Therefore m/2 and n/2 are integers

Then,

m-n

=2(m/2 - n/2)

Since m/2 and n/2 are integers

Then m/2 - n/2 will be an integer

Therefore,

m-n = 2(Z)

Where Z is an integer

Since 2 is a factor of m-n

Therefore m -n is even

Case 2

Both m and n are odd

m-n

= 2(½m - ½n)

When an odd number is divided by 2 it gives an integer and a remainder of 1

Therefore

½m = Y + ½

And

½n = Z + ½

Where Y and Z are integers

Then

m-n = 2(Y+½-Z-½)

= 2(Y-Z)

Y-Z will also be an integer

m-n= 2A

Therefore m-n is even

Case 3

One is odd and the other even

m-n = 2(m/2 - n/2)

Assume m is even and n is odd

From the discussions above

m-n = 2(Y - Z - ½)

m-n = 2(A - ½)

Hence m-n is not even because when is divided by two it doesn't give an integer.

Therefore for all integers m and n, m - n is even if, and only if, both m and n are even or both m and n are odd.

what number should replace the question mark

Answers

Answer: The missing number is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the table we can only have numbers between 1 and 9,

The pattern that i see is:

We have sets of 3 numbers.

"the bottom number is equal to the difference between the two first numers, if the difference is negative, change the sign, if the difference is zero, there goes a 9 (the next number to zero)"

Goin from right to left we have:

9 - 6 = 3

6 - 2 = 4

4 - 9 = - 5 (is negative, so we actually use -(-5) = 5)

4 - 4 = 0 (we can not use zero, so we use the next number, 9)

3 - 3 = 0 (same as above)

? - 1 = 4

? = 4 + 1 =  5

The missing number is 5.

Answers

Answer: hello below is the complete question

How many adults must be randomly selected to estimate the mean FICO (credit rating) score of working adults in a country? We want 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 4 points of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is 66. Round up to the nearest whole number

answer : 737 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

confidence interval = 90% = 0.9

( E ) = 4

standard deviation = 66

first we have to calculate the value of a

a = 1 - confidence interval

  = 1 - 0.9 = 0.10      hence  a / 2 = 0.05

next find the value of Z a/2 from table

Z[tex]_{0.05}[/tex]  = 1.645

The number of Adults selected can be determined using this relation

N = [tex](Z_{a/2} * (s/E))^2[/tex]

   = [tex](Z_{0.05} * ( 66/4))^2[/tex]

   = 737

A plane took off at a point that is 42 meters from the control tower. The flight path takes the plane over the control tower that is 98 meters high. After traveling 83 meters, which statement is most accurate?

A. The plane needs to be about 15 meters higher to clear the tower.
B. The plane clears the tower with about 27 meters to spare.
C. The plane clears the tower with about 15 meters to spare.
D. The plane needs to be about 27 meters higher to clear the tower.

Answers

Answer:

D. The plane needs to be about 27 meters higher to clear the tower.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario a triangle is being formed. The base the plane's takeoff point to the tower base which is 42 meters (x).

The hypothenus is the distance travelled by the plane which is 83 meters (h)

The height of the tower is 98 Meters

We want to calculate the height of our triangle (y) so we can guage if the plane scaled the tower.

According to Pythagorean theorem

(x^2) + (y^2) = h^2

y = √ (h^2) - (x^2)

y = √ (83^2) - (42^2)

y= √(6889 - 1764)

y= 71.59 Meters

The height from the plane's position to the top of the tower will be

Height difference = 98 - 71.59 = 26.41 Meters

So the plane should go about 27 Meters higher to clear the tower

The Gaussian Distribution is another name for it. The most significant continuous probability distribution is this one. Because the curve resembles a bell, it is also known as a bell curve.

In numerical documentation, these realities can be communicated as follows, where Pr(X) is the likelihood capability, Χ is a perception from an ordinarily circulated irregular variable, μ (mu) is the mean of the dispersion, and σ (sigma) is its standard deviation:

The interval for 95% will be given as,

Pr(X) = μ ± 2σ

Pr(X) = 200 ± 2(40)

Pr(X) = 200 ± 80

Pr(X) = (200 - 80, 200 + 80)

Pr(X) = (120, 280)

The intervals would contain approximately 95% of the measurements will be (120, 280). Then the correct option is C.

Answers

As the calculated value of t =2.1698 is greater than t (0.05,11) = 1.796 reject H0 . It means  chosen bottles stored for a month convince you that the mean furfuryl ether content exceeds the taste threshhold.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate our null and alternative hypotheses as

H0 u≤ 6 ug     Ha : u > 6 ug

The significance level ∝ = 0.05

The test statistic used is

t = X` - u / s/ √n

which if H0 is true, has the students' t test with n-1 = 11 degrees of freedom.

The critical region t > t (0.05,11) = 1.796

We compute the t value from the data

Xi               Xi²

8.92         79.5664

6.99          48.8601

5.54          30.6916

5.73           32.8329

6.38           40.7044

5.51            30.3601

6.45           41.6025

7.50           56.25

8.48           71.9104

5.56          30.9136

6.90          47.61

6.46          41.7316          

80.42         553.0336      

Now x` = ∑x/ n = 80.42/12 = 6.70

S²= 1/n-1 ( ∑(xi- x`)²= 1/11 ( 553.034 - (80.42)²/12)

= 1/11 (553.034-538.948) = 1.2805

s= 1.1316

Putting the values in the test statistics

t = X` - u / s/ √n = 6.70- 6 / 1.1316 / √12

= 2.1698

The critical region t > t (0.05,11) = 1.796

As the calculated value of t =2.1698 is greater than t (0.05,11) = 1.796 reject H0 . It means  chosen bottles stored for a month convince you that the mean furfuryl ether content exceeds the taste threshhold.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the American Diabetes Association estimates that 8.3% of people in the United States have diabetes.

Suppose that a medical lab has developed a simple diagnostic test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for people who have the disease and 95% accurate for people who do not have it.

Let the probability that people in the United States have diabetes = P(D) = 0.083.

So, the probability that people in the United States do not have diabetes = P(D') = 1 - P(D) = 1 - 0.083 = 0.917

Also, let A = event that the diagnostic test is accurate

So, the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who have the disease = P(A/D) = 0.98

And the probability that a simple diagnostic test for diabetes is accurate for people who do not have the disease = P(A/D') = 0.95

Now, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is given by;

    Probability = P(D) [tex]\times[/tex] P(A/D) + P(D') [tex]\times[/tex] P(A/D')

                      = (0.083 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.98) + (0.917 [tex]\times[/tex]0.95)

                      = 0.08134 + 0.87115

                      = 0.95249

Hence, the probability that the diagnosis is correct is 0.95249.

[tex]\text{Ratio as a fraction - \: \boxed{\frac{8}{18}}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Fraction in simplest form - \boxed{\frac{4}{9}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: Writing a ratio as a fraction

A fraction and a ratio are the same thing - just a different name. Therefore, the colon in a ratio is the same as a divisor line in a fraction. Therefore, to write a ratio as a fraction,

Replace the colon with a divisor line or the divisor line with a colon (use the first portion to transform a ratio into a fraction and the second form to transform a fraction into a ratio).

Therefore, 8:18 as a fraction is 8/18.

Part 2: Fraction in simplest form

To put a fraction in simplest form, first divide the numerator by the denominator. If it contains a remainder, you cannot use this step to verify it.

8 only goes into 18 twice and leaves a 2 as a remainder, so this method does not work.

Instead, if both numbers are even, divide by 2.

8/2 = 4

18/2 = 9

Check to see if the new numerator and denominator can reduce any further.

4/9 = 4/9

The fraction in simplest form is 4/9.

Frank and Gregory leave Centreville traveling in opposite directions on a straight road. Gregory drives 22 miles per hour faster than Frank. After 2.25 hours, they are 216 miles apart. Find Frank's speed and Gregory's speed.

Answers

Answer:

Frank speed = 37mi/hGregory speed = 59mi/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Frank be x and speed of Gregory be y. If Gregory drives 22 miles per hour faster than Frank, then y = 22+x. SInce they they are 216miles apart after 2.25 hours,

Speed = Distance/Time

Total time travelled by them = 2.25hours

Total distance = 216 hours

Total speed = x+y = x+22+x

Substituting this parameters into the formula given to get x we will have;

x+22+x = 216/2.25

2x+22 = 96

2x = 96-22

2x = 74

x = 74/2

x = 37

Hence the speed of Frank is 37miles per hour while that of gregory is 37+22 = 59miles/hour

Possible test scores could range from 0 to 500. Assume that the scores are normally distributed. Question 9 (2.5 points) If 2000 students are randomly selected, how many would you expect to have a score between 250 and 305?

Answers

Answer:

The  number is  [tex]N =1147[/tex] students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population mean is  [tex]\mu = 281[/tex]

     The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 34.4[/tex]

    The sample size is  n = 2000

percentage of the would you expect to have a score between 250 and 305 is mathematically represented as

      [tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(\frac{ 250 - 281}{34.4 } < \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{ 305 - 281}{34.4 } )[/tex]

Generally  

             [tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z (Standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]

So  

         [tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(-0.9012< Z<0.698 )[/tex]

       [tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = P(z_2 < 0.698 ) - P(z_1 < -0.9012)[/tex]

From the z table  the value of  [tex]P( z_2 < 0.698) = 0.75741[/tex]

                                         and  [tex]P(z_1 < -0.9012) = 0.18374[/tex]

     [tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = 0.75741 - 0.18374[/tex]

      [tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = 0.57[/tex]

The  percentage is  [tex]P(250 < X < 305 ) = 57\%[/tex]

The  number of students that will get this score is

           [tex]N = 2000 * 0.57[/tex]

           [tex]N =1147[/tex]

A video rental store keeps a list of their top 15 movie rentals each week. This week the list includes 6 action, 4 comedies, 3 dramas, and 2 mysteries. The store manager removes a copy of each of the 15 movies from the shelf, then randomly selects 3 of the 15 to show on the display monitors in the store. What is the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie?

Answers

Answer:

32/1125

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome of event/Total outcome.

If a video rental store keeps a list of their top 15 movie rentals each week, the total outcome is 15.

If the list for the week includes 6 action, 4 comedies, 3 dramas, and 2 mysteries and the store manager removes a copy of each of the 15 movies from the shelf, then randomly selects 3 of the 15 to show on the display monitors in the store, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be calculated as shown;

Probability of selecting 2 comedies  = 4/15*4/15 = 16/225 (Note that the expected outcome in this case is 4).

Probability of selecting 1 action movie = 6/15 = 2/5

Hence, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be equivalent to 16/225*2/5 = 32/1125

Note that the rented movies will have to be returned hence reason for the replacement.

(x-2) is a factor of x^2-3x^2+kx+14. The value of k is?​

Answers

Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that your polynomial is

x^2 - 3x^2 + kx + 14

If x - a is a factor of this polynomial, then a is a root.

Use synthetic division to divide (x - 2) into x^2 - 3x^2 + kx + 14:

 2      /      1     -3     k     14

                        2     -2    2k - 4

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

               1        -1    (k - 2)   2k - 10

If 2 is a root (if x - 2 is a factor), then the remainder must be zero.

Setting 2k - 10 = to zero, we get k = 5.

The value of k is 5 and the polynomial is x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x + 14

In a school, there are 25% fewer 11th graders than 10th graders, and 20% more 11th graders than 12th graders. The total number of students in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades in the school is 190. How many 10th graders are there at the school?

Answers

Answer:

There are 80 10th graders in the school

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 10th graders be x

There are 25% fewer 11th graders

That mean x - 25% of x

x -0.25x = 0.75x

There are 20% more 11th graders than 12th graders

So if number of 12th graders = y, then

0.75x = y + 20/100 * y = y + 0.2y = 1.2y

Since ;

0.75x = 1.2y

then y = 0.75x/1.2 = 0.625x

So let’s add all to give 190

x + 0.75x + 0.625x = 190

2.375x = 190

x = 190/2.375

x = 80

Bighorn sheep are beautiful wild animals found throughout the western United States. Data for this problem are based on information taken from The Desert Bighorn, edited by Monson and Sumner 9University of Arizona Press). Let x be the age of a bighorn sheep (in years), and let y be the mortality rate (percent that die) for this age group. For example, x = 1, y = 14 means that 14% of the bighorn sheep between 1 and 2 years old died. A random sample of Arizona bighorn sheep gave the following information:
x 1 2 3 4 5
y 14 18.9 14.4 19.6 20.0

(c) Find the correlation coefficient r. Find the coefficient of determination . What percentage of variation in y is explained by the variation in x and the least squares model?

Answers

Answer:

The answer and explanation are below

Step-by-step explanation:

i followed the data that was given in the question.

∑x=15 ; ∑y=87.3;∑x2=55; ∑y2=1569.77; ∑xy=275

a.)  please refer to the attachment for the scatter diagram. Y was plotted against X.

b. The equation is given as:

Y = b₁ + b₀X

∑x=15 ; ∑y=87.3;∑x2=55; ∑y2=1569.77; ∑xy=275

b₁ = n∑xy - (∑x)(∑y)/n(∑x²) - (∑x)²

b₁ = 5 x 275 - 15 x 87.3/5 x 55 - (15²)

= 1375-1309.5/275-225

= 65.5/50

= 1.31

b₀ = 87.3/5 - 1.31(15/5)

= 87.3/5 - 1.31x3

= 13.53

the regression line is

Y = 13.53 + 1.31X

please refer to the attachment for the diagram for the regression line.

c. we are required to find r.

r = n∑XY - (∑X)(∑Y)/√n∑X²-(∑X)² × √n∑y²-(∑y)²

∑x=15 ; ∑y=87.3;∑x2=55; ∑y2=1569.77; ∑xy=275

inserting these values:

r = 5 x 275-(15)(87.3)/√275-225 x √7848.85 - 7621.29

= 65.5/106.69

= 0.6139

Coefficient of determination = r²

r = 0.6139

r² = 0.3769 = 37.69%

Therefore 37.69% variation in y is explained by variation in x and the least square model.

What is the radius of the circle whose center is the
origin and that passes through the point (5,12)?

Answers

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the equation of a circle, (x - h)² + ( y - k )² = r², where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.

Plug in the values and solve for r:

(5 - 0)² + (12 - 0)² = r²

25 + 144 = r²

169 = r²

13 = r
