Answer:

102.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a_38 = -5

difference d= -2.9

We use general formula

a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

WE make the formula for a_38 th term

Plug in 38 for n

a_{38} = a_1 + (38-1)d

Now plug in -2.9 for d and -5 for a_38

-5 = a_1 + (38-1)(-2.9)

-5 = a_1 - 107.3

Now add 107.3 on both sides

102.3 = a_1

option A is correct

Azul spun a tri-color spinner twice. What is the probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order?
guapka [62]

Answer:

The Probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order = 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Azul spun a tri-color spinner twice.

To find - What is the probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order?

Solution -

Given that,

A tri-color spinner spun twice

So,

The Sample Space, S = {BB, BG, BY, GB, GG, GY, YB, YG, YY}

⇒n(S) = 9

Now,

Let A be an event that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green

So,

A = {BG, GB}

⇒n(A) = 2

Now,

Probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order = n(A) ÷ n(S)

         = 2 ÷ 9

∴ we get

The Probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order = 2/9

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

So, we conclude that the best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers is 4.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 27 of the 193 males in the sample smoke while 16 of the 169 females in the sample smoke.  

We have the following proportion:

27:x=193:100\%\\\\193x=27\cdot 100\\\\193x=2700\\\\x=\frac{2700}{193}\\\\x=13.9\%

So we get that 13.9% of men smoke.

We have the following proportion:

16:x=169:100\%\\\\169x=16\cdot 100\\\\169x=1600\\\\x=\frac{1600}{169}\\\\x=9.5\%

So we get that 9.5% of women smoke.

We get: 13.9%-9.5%=4.4%.

So, we conclude that the best estimate for the difference in the proportion of smokers is 4.4%.

The accompanying data represent the miles per gallon of a random sample of cars with a​ three-cylinder, 1.0 liter engine.a. Comp
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

1). Z score = 1.464733

Mean = 38.87917

Standard deviation = 3.609405

2). Quartiles:

Q1 = 37.025

Q2 = 38.450

Q3 = 40.800

3). IQR = 3.775

4).

CI (lower fence) = 37.4351

CI (upper fence) =  40.32323

5). There is outlier in the data set. Please see attached box plot for evidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

1). By Z score, we mean:

Z = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}},

where:

x-bar ==> mean(g) = 38.87917

\mu = 37.80

standard deviation = 3.609405

sample size (n) = 24.

2). By quantile, we mean:

Q = L + (i*(n/4) - Cf)*c

Where L is the lower class limit of the quartile class

Cf is the cumulative frequency before the quartile class

c  is the class size.

3) . IQR = Q3 - Q1

4). CI = \mu \pm *Z_{\alpha/2} \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}},

Where Z_{\alpha/2}  ==> 1.96

In order to replicate and obtain the result, please use the R code below:

g = c(31.5, 36.0, 37.8, 38.5, 40.1, 42.2,34.2, 36.2, 38.1, 38.7, 40.6, 42.5,34.7, 37.3, 38.2, 39.5,  

41.4, 43.4,35.6, 37.6, 38.4, 39.6, 41.7, 49.3)

boxplot(g)

Z = (mean(g) - 37.8)/(sd(g)/sqrt(length(g)))

mean(g)

quantile(g)

IQR(g)

CIl = mean(g) - 1.96*(sd(g)/sqrt(length(g)))

CIU = mean(g) + 1.96*(sd(g)/sqrt(length(g)))
