Jared wanted to find three consecutive even integers whose sum was 4 times the first of those integers. He let k represent the first integer, then wrote and solved this equation: k + (k + 1) + (k + 2) = 4k. Did he get the correct answer? Complete the explanation
(Please fill this in:)
Jared did not get the correct answer. The solution to his equation is k =_, giving __,__, and __ as the three intergers. However, 3 and 5, are not even integers. He should have used the equation k=(k+__)+(k+__)=4k, which gives k=__ and the correct answer __,__,__

At wind speeds above 1000 centimeters per second (cm/sec), significant sand-moving events begin to occur. wind speeds below 1000 cm/sec deposit sand and wind speeds above 1000 cm/sec move sand to new locations. the cyclic nature of wind and moving sand determines the shape and location of large dunes. at a test site, the prevailing direction of the wind did not change noticeably. however, the velocity did change. fifty-nine wind speed readings gave an average velocity of x = 1075 cm/sec. based on long-term experience, Οƒ can be assumed to be 245 cm/sec. (a) find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean wind speed at this site. (round your answers to the nearest whole number.) lower limit cm/sec upper limit cm/sec
