First, we should see if there are any common differences. We do this by subtracting each term from its previous:

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.3

1.2 - 0.96 = 0.24

Already, we can tell that there is no common difference.

Let's look at common ratio:

1.2/1.5 = 0.8

0.96/1.2 = 0.8

0.768/0.96 = 0.8

Therefore, there is a common ratio and it is 0.8.

ETHANHUNT HELP PLS The marked sides have equal lengths. What is the value of x?

dezoksy [38]

Here, both sides are equal, represented by - sign.
So, 4x + 12 = 60
4x = 60 - 12
x = 48/4
x = 12

In short, Your Answer would be 12

Hope this helps!

Answer:

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is equal to 120 or not, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 120$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 120$

Part 2

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{114-120}{\frac{22}{\sqrt{36}}}=-1.636$

P-value

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=114$ represent the sample mean

$\sigma=22$ represent the population standard deviation

$n=36$ sample size

$\mu_o =120$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

Part 1

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is equal to 120 or not, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 120$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 120$

If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a z test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

z-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Part 2

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$z=\frac{114-120}{\frac{22}{\sqrt{36}}}=-1.636$

P-value

Since is a two sided test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z$

Four times the larger of two consecutive even integers is ten less than the smaller. What is the larger of these two numbers?

anygoal [31]

Answer:

-4 is the larger integer

Step-by-step explanation:

n = smaller integer

n + 2 = larger integer

4(n+2) = n-10

4n + 8 = n - 10

3n + 8 = -10

3n = -18

n = -6

n+2 = -4
