Answer:

  8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

On day 8, Isabella will save 256 nickels, bringing her total to 510.

_____

The number of nickels saved on day n is 2^n. The total is 2^(n+1)-2.

_____

The above can be written down from your knowledge of binary sequences. If you want a more formal development, read on.

__

The number of nickels saved on day n is a geometric sequence with first term 2 and common ratio 2. The n-th term of the sequence is ...

  an = a1·r^(n-1) = 2·2^(n-1) = 2^n

The sum of n terms of the sequence is ...

  S = a1(r^n -1)/(r -1) = 2(2^n -1)/(2-1)

  S = 2^(n+1) -2

__

We want S > 500, so ...

  500 < 2^(n+1) -2

  502 < 2^(n+1)

  251 < 2^n

  log(251) < n·log(2)

  n > log(251)/log(2)

  n > 7.97 . . . . . . . . 8 days or more to save more than 500 nickels

I say that answer would be C:

2 years of lost wages 
(45K+45K) = 90K 
TOTAL cost of school = 30K 

sum of investment 
(90K+30K) = 120K 

5 years to recover investment 
(120K/5yrs) = 24K per year 

Salary plus amount required to recover investment 
<span>(24K+45K) = 69K

Bottles of grape soda are assumed to contain 300 milliliters of soda. There is some variation from bottle to bottle because the
Pie

Answer:

Because the p-value of 0.0828 is greater than the significance level of 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. We conclude the data provide convincing evidence that the mean amount of soda in all the bottles filled that day does not differ from the target value of 300 milliliters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is that the sample mean does not differ from the population mean.

If p < α, we reject the null hypothesis.

If p > α, we do not reject the null hypothesis.

p values are between 0 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is statistical, because 1) it provides a thing for you to study (how many miles does each member ride, as well as 2) provides (hopefully) enough respondents (the members of the biking club) that it will not skew the statistics.

What is the Value of E
klasskru [66]

Answer:

<h2>e = 1.75</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{If}\ \Delta TOP\sim\Delta ACE,\ \text{then corresponding sides are in proportion.}\\\\\dfrac{TO}{AC}=\dfrac{OP}{CE}\\\\TO=p=3.5\\AC=e\\OP=t=4.25\\CE=a=2.125\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\\dfrac{3.5}{e}=\dfrac{4.25}{2.125}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\4.25e=(3.5)(2.125)\\\\4.25e=7.4375\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4.25}\\\\e=\dfrac{7.4375}{4.25}\\\\e=1.75
