Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:consecutive integers are represented by x, x+1 , so for this problem the greater one is represented by x + 1.

Now you need to translate the problem. the greater is seven less than 1/3 the smaller

---> x + 1 = (1/3)*x - 7 ---> now solve for x (the smaller) and x+1 (the greater)

***hint: to get rid of fractions in an equation you can always multiply EVERYTHING by the denominator , 3 in this case

Solve.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12.9 + 10.2x = 35.1

10.2x = 35.1 - 12.9

10.2x = 22.2

x = 22.2/10.2

x= 222/102 = 111/51

$x= 2\dfrac{9}{51}$

Suppose that a restaurant chain claims that its bottles of ketchup contain 24 ounces of ketchup on average, with a standard devi

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Confidence Interval = (23.776, 24.224)

Step-by-step explanation:

Restaurant chain claims that its bottles of ketchup contain 24 ounces of ketchup on average.

⇒ Mean = 24 ounces.

Standard Deviation = 0.8

Number of bottles used for sample = 49

⇒ n = 49

Confidence level = 95%

Corresponding z value with 95% confidence level = 1.96

Now, confidence interval is given by the following expression :

$Mean \pm z^*\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=24\pm1.96\times \frac{0.8}{\sqrt{49}}\\\\=24\pm 0.224$

Hence, Confidence Interval = (23.776, 24.224)
