The sequence an = 2(an-1 - 3) is a recursive sequence

The 4th term of the sequence is -42

<h3>How to determine the 4th term?</h3>

The given parameters are:

a1 = 0

a2 = -6

an = 2(an-1 - 3)

Start by calculating a3 using:

a3 = 2(a2 - 3)

This gives

a3 = 2 * (-6 - 3)

a3 = -18

Calculate a4 using:

a4 = 2(a3 - 3)

This gives

a4 = 2 * (-18 - 3)

a4 = -42

Hence, the 4th term of the sequence is -42

A researcher claims that the variation in the salaries of elementary school teachers is greater than the variation in the salari

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2 _2$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \sigma_1 ^2 > \sigma^2_2$

$F_{critical} = 1.8608$

$F = 2.9085$

The decision rule is

Reject the null hypothesis

There is sufficient evidence to support the researchers claim

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 30$

The sample variance for elementary school is $s^2_1 = 8324$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 30$

The sample variance for the secondary school is $s^2_2 = 2862$

The significance level is $\alpha = 0.05$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \sigma^2_1 = \sigma^2 _2$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \sigma_1 ^2 > \sigma^2_2$

Generally from the F statistics table the critical value of $\alpha = 0.05$ at first and second degree of freedom $df_1 = n_1 - 1 = 30 - 1 = 29$ and $df_2 = n_2 - 1 = 30 - 1 = 29$ is

$F_{critical} = 1.8608$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$F = \frac{s_1^2 }{s_2^2}$

=> $F = \frac{8324 }{2862}$

=> $F = 2.9085$

Generally from the value obtained we see that $F > F_{critical }$ Hence

The decision rule is

Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to support the researchers claim

Jayden sells snow cones for $3.75 each. He started the day with a total of 300 snow cones to sell. If he made a total of $843.75

Leni [432]

Number of cone left is 75 cone

<u>Given that;</u>

Cost of each cone = $3.75 each

Starting number of cone = 300

Total amount earn = $843.75

Number of cone left

<u>Computation:</u>

Number of cone sale = Total amount earn / Cost of each cone

Number of cone sale = 843.75 / 3.75

Number of cone sale = 225 cone

Number of cone left = Starting number of cone - Number of cone sale

Number of cone left = 300 - 225

Number of cone left = 75 cone
