zhenek [66]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A.\ \dfrac{1}{3}\\B.\ \dfrac{5}{12}\\C.\ \dfrac{7}{36}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

Total outcomes possible: 36

A. Divisible by 3

Possible options are:

3, 6, 9 and 12.

Possible outcomes for 3 are: {(1,2), (2,1)} Count 2

Possible outcomes for 6 are: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

Possible outcomes for 9 are: {(3,6), (4,5), (5,4),(6,3)} Count 4

Possible outcomes for 12 are: {(6,6)} Count 1

Total count = 2 + 5 + 4 + 1 = 12

Probability of an event E can be formulated as:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

P(A)  = \dfrac{12}{36} = \dfrac{1}{3}

B. Less than 7:

Possible sum can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Possible cases for sum 2: {(1,1)}  Count 1

Possible cases for sum 3: {(1,2), (2,1)}  Count 2

Possible cases for sum 4: {(1,3), (3,1), (2,2)}  Count 3

Possible cases for sum 5: {(1,4), (2,3), (3,2),(4,1)}  Count 4

Possible cases for sum 6: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

Total count = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

P(B)  = \dfrac{15}{36} = \dfrac{5}{12}

C. Divisible by 3 and less than 7:

P(A \cap B) = \dfrac{n(A\cap B)}{\text{Total Possible outcomes}}

Here, common cases are:

Possible outcomes for 3 are: {(1,2), (2,1)} Count 2

Possible outcomes for 6 are: {(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (5,1),(4,2)} Count 5

P(A \cap B) = \dfrac{7}{\text{36}}

Lucy Baker is analyzing demographic characteristics of two television programs, American Idol (population 1) and 60 Minutes (pop
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0

Or in the alternative way would be:

 Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

On this case the claim that they want to test is: "The means for the two groups (American Idol and 60 Minutes) is the same". So we want to check if we have significant differences between the two means, so this needs to be on the alternative hypothesis and on the null hypothesis we need to have the complement of the alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 = 0

This null hypothesis can be expressed like this:

Null hypothesis:\mu_1 = \mu_2

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 -\mu_2 \neq 0

Or in the alternative way would be:

Alternative hypothesis:\mu_1 \neq \mu_2

Pls help me for brainliest answer
Ket [755]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

a)3n + 4 \\  \\n = 1 \\ 3 \times 1 + 4 \\ 3 + 4 \\  =7 \\  \\ n = 2 \\ 3 \times 2 + 4 \\ 6 + 4 \\  = 10 \\  \\ n = 3 \\ 3 \times 3 + 4 \\ 9 + 4 \\  = 13 \\  \\ n = 4 \\ 3 \times 4 + 4 \\ 12 + 4 \\  = 16 \\  \\ n = 10 \\ 3 \times 10 + 4 \\ 30 + 4 \\  = 34 \\

So in this sequence,

1st term = 7

2nd term = 10

3rd term = 13

4th term = 16

10th term = 34

b)4n - 5 \\  \\ n = 1 \\ 4 \times 1 - 5 \\ 4 - 5 \\  =  - 1 \\  \\ n = 2 \\ 4 \times 2 - 5 \\ 8 - 5 \\ =  3 \\  \\ n = 3 \\ 4 \times 3 - 5 \\ 12 - 5 \\  = 7 \\  \\ n = 4 \\ 4 \times 4 - 5 \\ 16- 5 \\  = 11 \\  \\ n = 10 \\ 4 \times 10 - 5 \\ 40 - 5 \\  = 35

In this sequence,

1st term = -1

2nd term = 3

3rd term = 7

4th term = 11

10th term =35

Explain why graphing the solutions of an inequality is more efficient than listing all the solutions of the inequality.
Nadya [2.5K]
The saying "A picture is worth a thousand words" comes to mind here. You can list all of the possible points in a solution region, or you can list a few points to give the general pattern. Though this method requires a bit more work than simply graphing and showing the solution shaded region. A visual is often more efficient at conveying a message especially to those who aren't proficient with algebra. I'm sure there are other reasons why graphs are the better choice, but that's all I could think of really.
