Write a rule for the nth term of the geometric sequence if r = 1/4 and a3 = 2.

Answer: 9 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

9 and 4 are both factors of 36, however we want to multiply to -36 so one of them must be a negative.

The two must also add up to 5, so that means -9 and 4 would not work as those would add to -5, leaving 9 and -4 left as the answer.

The value of two numbers multiply by -36 and added to 5 would be - 36 and 5.

Used the concept of the equation that states,

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that,

The multiplication of two numbers = - 36

The addition of two numbers = 5

Let us assume that the two numbers are x and y.

Hence the equations become,

x + y = 5   .. (i)

And, xy = - 36  .. (ii)

From (i);

x = 5 - y

Substitute the above value in (ii);

(5 - y)y = - 36

5y - y² = - 36

y² - 5y - 36 = 0

y² - (9 - 4)y - 36 = 0

y² - 9y + 4y - 36 = 0

y (y - 9) + 4 (y - 9) = 0

(y + 4) (y - 9) = 0

This gives,

y = - 4

y = 9

Substitute both the values in (i);

Put x = - 4

x - 4 = 5

x = 9

Put x = 9;

x + 9 = 5

x = - 4

Therefore, the two numbers are 9 and - 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To rationalize the expression:

[tex]\dfrac{5-\sqrt{7} }{9-\sqrt{14} }[/tex]

In order to rationalize any Surdic expression, what is needed is to multiply both the numerator and the denominator of the rational function by the conjugate of the denominator.

In the example above:

The denominator is: [tex]9-\sqrt{14}[/tex]

Its conjugate therefore is: [tex]9+\sqrt{14}[/tex]

Therefore, we multiply the fraction by the expression:

The probability that a person will take longer than 21 days to pass it is 0.12

Explanation:

Given:

Mean time, μ = 14 days

Standard deviation, ρ = 6 days

Let x be the time to pass the kidney stones.

Probability that a person will take longer than 21 days to pass it.

We need to find z score first

Z score = [tex]\frac{x - u}{p}[/tex]

Z score = [tex]\frac{21-14}{6}[/tex]

            = 1.166

Probability that a person will take longer than 21 days to pass it = P(x > Z)

                                                                                                          = P(x > 1.16)

                                                                                                          = 0.12

Therefore, the probability that a person will take longer than 21 days to pass it is 0.12

Hence the Dr.Clifford Jones claim is wrong about the bats mean weight

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean=1.659 grams

Standard deviation: 0.264

No of samples=200

To find :

Confidence intervals at

1)99.9% 2)99%  3)95% 4)80% and

Whether the Dr. Clifford with 1.7 mean weight is less or not?

Solution:

We know  interval estimation is given by ,

E=mean±Z value*{standard deviation/Sqrt(N)}

Now For Z value 99.9% =3.291

E=1.659±3.291{0.264/Sqrt(200)}

=1.659±0.0614

i.e.C.I.[1.6 to 1.72]

Now for Z value 99 % =2.576

E=1.659±2.576{0.264/Sqrt(200)}

=1.659±0.0481

i.e. C.I[1.61,1.71]

Now for Z value at 95% =1.96

E=1.659±1.96*(0.264/sqrt(200))

=1.659±0.0366

i.e. C.I.[1.62,1.7]

Now ofr Z value at 80% =1.28

E=1.659±1.28*(0.264/sqrt(20))

=1.659±0.0239

i.e. C.I.[1.64,1.68]

Using t distribution as ,

value for mean =1.7

raw i.p=1.659

Degree of freedom =N-1=200-1=199

Hence

t-score is similar to zscore

T-score =(Raw input -mean)/(standard deviation/Sqrt(n))

=(-1.7+1.659)/(0.264/Sqrt(200))

=-2.19721

Consider 1 tailed ,

p value =P(Z≤-2.19721)

=0.0143

i.e  P value is 0.0143

Hence The result is not significant at p<0.01

To find the confidence interval for the mean weight of all bumblebee bats, use the formula: Confidence Interval = Xbar ± (Z-Value) * (Standard Deviation / sqrt(n)). To test whether bumblebee bats weigh less on average than Dr. Clifford Jones claims, use the t-distribution technique.

To find the confidence interval for the mean weight of all bumblebee bats, we will use the formula:

Confidence Interval = Xbar ± (Z-Value) * (Standard Deviation / sqrt(n))

where Xbar is the sample mean, Z-Value is the critical value from the standard normal distribution table, Standard Deviation is the population standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

(a) For a 99.9% confidence interval, the Z-value corresponding to a 99.9% confidence level is 3.291. Using the given values, the confidence interval can be calculated as follows:

Confidence Interval = 1.659 ± (3.291) * (0.264 / sqrt(200)) = 1.659 ± 0.1153

So the 99.9% confidence interval for the mean weight of all bumblebee bats is (1.543, 1.774).

(b) For a 99% confidence interval, the Z-value corresponding to a 99% confidence level is 2.576. Using the given values, the confidence interval can be calculated as follows:

Confidence Interval = 1.659 ± (2.576) * (0.264 / sqrt(200)) = 1.659 ± 0.0942

So the 99% confidence interval for the mean weight of all bumblebee bats is (1.565, 1.753).

(c) For a 95% confidence interval, the Z-value corresponding to a 95% confidence level is 1.96. Using the given values, the confidence interval can be calculated as follows:

Confidence Interval = 1.659 ± (1.96) * (0.264 / sqrt(200)) = 1.659 ± 0.0734

So the 95% confidence interval for the mean weight of all bumblebee bats is (1.586, 1.732).

(d) For an 80% confidence interval, the Z-value corresponding to an 80% confidence level is 1.282. Using the given values, the confidence interval can be calculated as follows:

Confidence Interval = 1.659 ± (1.282) * (0.264 / sqrt(200)) = 1.659 ± 0.0547

So the 80% confidence interval for the mean weight of all bumblebee bats is (1.604, 1.714).

2) To test whether bumblebee bats weigh less on average than Dr. Clifford Jones claims, we will use the t-distribution technique. We will set up the following hypotheses:

Null hypothesis (H0): The mean weight of bumblebee bats is equal to 1.7 grams.

Alternative hypothesis (Ha): The mean weight of bumblebee bats is less than 1.7 grams.

We will use a one-tailed test since we are only interested in whether the bats weigh less on average. Calculate the test statistic t using the formula:

t = (sample mean - hypothesized mean) / (sample standard deviation / sqrt(n))

where the sample mean is 1.659 grams, the hypothesized mean is 1.7 grams, the sample standard deviation is 0.264 grams, and the sample size is 200. Using these values, the test statistic can be calculated as follows:

t = (1.659 - 1.7) / (0.264 / sqrt(200)) = -2.524

Using a t-table or calculator, we can find the critical value for a one-tailed test with a significance level of 0.05 and 199 degrees of freedom to be approximately -1.652.

Since the test statistic t is less than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, there is evidence to suggest that bumblebee bats weigh less on average than Dr. Clifford Jones claims at a significance level of 0.05.

The number of sides of a polygon can be determined from the total interior angle or each exterior angle. The interior angle measures of a regular polygon can be used to find unknown quantities. The sum of the interior angles in an 11-gon is 1620° regardless of whether it is regular or irregular.

a. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula (n-2) * 180°, where n is the number of sides. To find the number of sides, you rearrange the formula to n = (sum of angles/180) + 2. For 1980°, n = (1980/180) + 2 = 13. For 900°, n = (900/180) + 2 = 7.

b. The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360°. If each exterior angle is 90°, divide 360 by 90 to get 4. This polygon has 4 sides, so it's a square.

c. In a regular pentagon, each interior angle is 108°. So, if 2x + 4 = 108°, solve for x to find x = 52°.

d. The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is also 360°. If four of them are 57, 74, 56, and 66, add these up and subtract from 360 to find the remaining angle. It's 107°.

e. The sum of the interior angles of an 11-gon (n = 11) is (11-2) * 180 = 1620°. This is the same whether the polygon is regular or not.

This problem can be solved by Conducting a Chi-square test for independence to explore the relationship between helmet usage and head injuries. We state our null and alternative hypotheses, then we carry out our plan by calculating the observed and expected counts, the test statistic, and the p-value. The conclusion is drawn based on the computed p-value.

The purpose of this analysis is to see if there is a relationship between the use of helmets and head injuries in skiers and snowboarders. In this case, we are dealing with two categorical variables: injury status (injured or not injured) and helmet use (helmet used or not). This falls under the field of statistics in math, specifically, Chi-square test for independence is appropriate here.

Step 1 - STATE: We're comparing the proportion of helmet users among skiers and snowboarders who have head injuries (p1) with the proportion of helmet users among uninjured skiers and snowboarders (p2). The null hypothesis is that the two proportions are equal, i.e., p1 = p2, while the alternative is that they are not equal, i.e., p1 ≠ p2.

Step 2 - PLAN: We are to use a Chi-square test for independence to investigate if helmet use is independent of injury status.

Step 3 - SOLVE: Calculate the observed and expected counts, the test statistic, and the p-value. The observed counts are given in the problem: 96 out of 578 injured subjects used helmets and 656 out of 2992 uninjured subjects used helmets. Expected counts and the test statistic would require a detailed calculation that isn’t shown here.

The conclusion depends on the computed p-value. If the p-value is less than the significance level (usually 0.05), we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that helmet use is less common among skiers and snowboarders who have head injuries. However, bear in mind that correlation does not imply causation, and this is an observational study, not an experiment.

Answer:

The mean number of points she scored per game was 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean number of points scored per game is the sum of total points scored divided by the number of games played:

Her point total for each game were 8,14,4,7,6,14,4 and 7.

This means that there were 8 total games.

She scored 8+14+4+7+6+14+4+7 = 64 total points

64/8 = 8

The mean number of points she scored per game was 8.

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean [tex]\bar X[/tex] is given by:

[tex]\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]

The mean is given by:

[tex] \bar X = 13.6[/tex]

And the deviation is given by:

[tex]\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{3}{\sqrt{100}}= 0.3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as "number of years of education of self-employed individuals in the U.S." and we know the following properties:

[tex] E(X) = 13.6 , Sd(X) = 3[/tex]

And we select a sample of n = 100

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean [tex]\bar X[/tex] is given by:

[tex]\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]

Solution to the problem

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean [tex]\bar X[/tex] is given by:

Answer:

a) The mean number is 745 and the standard deviation is 25.18.

b) 896 deaths is a significantly high number, which means that there is cause for concern.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each death, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is attributable to myocardial infarctions, or it is not. The probability of a death being attributable to myocardial infarctions is independent of other deaths. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]

A value X is significantly high is:

[tex]X > E(X) + 2\sqrt{V(X)}[/tex]

In this problem:

[tex]p = 0.149, n = 5000[/tex]

a. Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of such deaths that will occur in typical region with 5000 deaths.

[tex]E(X) = np = 5000*0.149 = 745[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{5000*0.149*0.851} = 25.18[/tex]

The mean number is 745 and the standard deviation is 25.18.

b. In one region, 5000 death certificates are examined, and it is found that 896 deaths were attributable to myocardial infarction. Is there cause for concern? Why or why not?

Is 896 a significantly high number?

[tex]E(X) + 2\sqrt{V(X)} = 745 + 2*25.18 = 795.36[/tex]

895 > 795.36

896 deaths is a significantly high number, which means that there is cause for concern.

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the difference between two means with same sample size is:

[tex]CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm CV\times SD\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{n}}[/tex]

The width of the interval is:

[tex]\text{Width}=2\times CV\times SD\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{n}}[/tex]

From the formula of the width of the confidence interval it can be seen that the sample size is inversely related to the width.

That is, if the sample size is increased the width of the interval will be decreased and if the sample size is decreased the width of the interval will be increased.

It is provided that two confidence intervals are constructed for the difference between the means of two populations R and J.

One One confidence interval, will be constructed using samples of size 400 from each of R and J.

And the other confidence interval, will be constructed using samples of size 100 from each of R and J.

Determine the formula of width for both sample sizes as follows:

[tex]\text{Width}_{1}=2\times CV\times SD\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{400}}\\[/tex]

           [tex]=2\times CV\times SD\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{20}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Width}_{2}=2\times CV\times SD\times \sqrt{\frac{2}{100}}\\[/tex]

           [tex]=2\times CV\times SD\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{10}[/tex]

So, the width of I₄₀₀ is half times the width of I₁₀₀.

The correct option is (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Sari Tagore obtains a $1000 loan to purchase a laser printer. Her interest rate is 7% ordinary interest for 108 days. What is the interest owed?

Solution:

When calculating ordinary interest, we assume that a year has 360 days. We would apply the formula for determining simple interest which is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

I represents interest paid on the loan

P represents principal or amount borrowed.

R represents interest rate

T represents duration in years

From the information given,

P = 1000

R = 7%

T = 108 days. Converting to years, it becomes 108/360

Therefore

I = (1000 × 7 × 108/360)/100

I = $21

Answer:

The hawk drops the prey from a height of 4 meters.

The prey reaches the ground 4 seconds after.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the equation gives you information about the height of the prey at any time counting from the moment the hawk drops it. Therefore, if we want to find the height at which the hawk drops the prey, we just need to evaluate the expression for time = zero (the starting time). SUch gives as the answer to the first question:

[tex]h=4+11t-3t^2\\h=4+11\,(0)-3\,(0)^2\\h=4\, \,meters[/tex]

Now, in order to find the time at which the prey reaches the ground, we want "h" to be zero (height zero), and solve for "t".

Notice that this gives a quadratic equation that can be solved using the quadratic formula:

[tex]h=4+11t-3t^2\\0=4+11t-3t^2\\-3t^2+11t+4=0\\t=\frac{-11+-\sqrt{11^2-4\,(-3)(4)} }{2\,(-3)} \\t=\frac{-11+-\sqrt{121+48} }{-6} \\t=\frac{-11+-13 }{-6} \\t= 4\,\,and \,\, t=-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Since negative times will not make sense, we select the positive 4 (4 seconds)
