Answer:

12.496

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, to calculate the sum of the first five terms of the series, we use the formula for the sum of terms in a geometric series.

Mathematically, that would be;

Sn = a(1-r^n)/1-r

where Sn = ?

a = 10

r = 1/5 = 0.2

n = 5

Substituting these values into the equation above, we have;

Sn = 10(1-(0.2)^5)/1-0.2

Sn = 10(0.99968)/0.8

Sn = 12.496

HELP ME PLS THIS IS URGENT Drag each value to the correct location on the tables.

Natalka [10]

SOLUTION:

Given the following table:

Show A Show B Total

Men - 76 124 200

Women - 112 88 200

Relative frequency of men who watch show A: 76/200 = 0.38

Relative frequency of men who watch show B: 124/200 = 0.62

Relative frequency of women who watch show A: 112/200 = 0.56

Relative frequency of women who watch show B: 88/200 = 0.44

FINAL ANSWER:

Show A Show B

Men - 0.38 0.62

Women - 0.56 0.44

For a rectangle with length of

AveGali [126]

Answer:

2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the perimeter of a reactangle= 2(l+b)

So,

2(l+b) = 10x+18

2(3x+4 + b) = 10x+18

Rearrange and solve

3x+4+b = 5x+9

b = 5x+9 - 3x - 4

b = 2x+5

Thus the measurement of the width = 2x+5

Hope this helps

Suppose that scores on a knowledge test are normally distributed with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 4.3. Scores on an

Sphinxa [80]

Question:

(c) Boris also took a logic test. His z-score on that test was +0.93 . Does this change the answer to which test Boris performed better on? Explain your answer using z-scores.

Answer:

The answers to the questions are;

(a) Based on the z score, Boris perform better on his aptitude test.

(b) Based on the z score, Callie perform better on his knowledge test .

Yes as Boris now performed best on the logic test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score of a score is a measurement of the score withe respect to its distance from the mean as a factor of the standard deviation.

To solve the question, we note that we are required to find the z score as follows.

z score is given by $z = \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}$

Where:

z = Standard score

x = Score

σ = Standard deviation

μ = Mean

(a) To find out which test did Boris performed better usin z score, we have

Boris scored a

57 on the knowledge test and

106 on the aptitude test

Therefore the z sore for the knowledge test is

$z = \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}$

Here

x = 57

μ = 60

σ = 4.3

Therefore

$z_{knowledge} = \frac{57 -60}{4.3}$ = -3/4.3 = -30/43 = -0.6977

The z sore for Boris on the aptitude test is

Here

x = 106

μ = 110

σ = 7.1

$z_{aptitude} = \frac{106 -110}{7.1}$ = -40/17 = -0.5634

Based on the z score, Boris perform better on the aptitude test as his z score is higher (on the number line), --0.5634, compared to the z score on the knowledge test , -0.6977

(b) For Callie we have

Callie scored a

63 on the knowledge test and

114 on the aptitude test

Therefore the z sore for the knowledge test is

$z = \frac{x -\mu}{\sigma}$

Here

x = 63

μ = 60

σ = 4.3

Therefore

$z_{knowledge} = \frac{63 -60}{4.3}$ = 3/4.3 = 30/43 = 0.6977

The z sore for Callie on the aptitude test is

Here

x = 114

μ = 110

σ = 7.1

$z_{aptitude} = \frac{114 -110}{7.1}$ = 40/17 = 0.5634

Based on the z score, Callie perform better on the knowledge test as his z score is higher (on the number line), 0.6977, compared to the z score on the aptitude test , 0.5634.

$z_{aptitude}$ = - 0.5634 then

$z_{logic}$ > $z_{knowledge}$ > $z_{aptitude}$

Therefore Boris now performed best on the logic test.
