Answer:

a_{n} = 5(2)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a common ratio between consecutive terms , that is

10 ÷ 5 = 20 ÷ 10 = 40 ÷ 20 = 80 ÷ 40 = 2

this indicates the sequence is geometric with explicit formula

a_{n} = a₁(r)^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

here a₁ = 5 and r = 2 , then

a_{n} = 5 (2)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

as we see in the sequence, each term is twice of the previous term.

we mark the Nth as a(N), then:

a(N)=2a(N-1)

Suppose we have two thermometers. One thermometer is very precise but is delicate and heavy (X). We have another thermometer tha
Temka [501]

Answer:

a)H0: β1= 1 and Ha: β1 ≠1

b) The test statistic is____.t= b- β/ sb

c) The p-value is____.0.999144

(d) Therefore, we can conclude that:_____. there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.    

2) The data provides no evidence at the 0.1 significance level that these thermometers are not consistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternate hypotheses are

H0: β1= 1 and Ha: β1 ≠1

The significance level is  alpha= 0.1 but ∝/2 =0.1/2= 0.05 for two tailed test.

The critical region at t ∝/2 (29)=  t ≤ - 1.699 , t ≥ 1.699

The test statistic is

t= b- β/ sb

which has t distribution with υ= 31-2= 29 degrees of freedom.

Calculations

Ŷ = a +bX

b = SPxy /SS x= Σ(xi-x`)(yi-y`)/Σ(xi-x`)²

b = 39671.6/39680= 0.9998

a = y` - bx`

x`= 60

y`= 59.989

a = 59.989 -0.9998*60 = 0.001734

Syx²= Σ( yi -y`)²/ n-2= 39663.3857/ 29=1367.68965

Syx= 36.9822

Sb= Syx/ √∑  (x-x`)²

Sb= 36.9823/ √39680

Sb= 36.9823/ 199.984

Sb= 0.18493

Putting the values

The test statistic is

t= b- β/ sb

t= 0.9998-1/ 0.18493      ( β=1 given)

t=-0.0010815

Since the calculated t=-0.0010815  does not lie in the critical region  t ∝/2 (29)=  t ≤ - 1.699 , t ≥ 1.699 we conclude that these thermometers seem to be measure temperatures.

The p-value is  ≈ 0.999144

there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

Please help this is hard
stira [4]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

130 = 8x + 50

<u>Step 1:  Solve for x</u>

130 - 50 = 8x + 50 - 50

80 / 8 = 8x / 8

10 = x
