Approximately 7.4 inches. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to get you diagonal or hypotenuse.

20 PTS What is the sixth term of the sequence shown in the table? Term Value 1 –46,656 2 7,776 3 –1,296 4 216 5 6 {SEE IMAGE}

olganol [36]

Answer:

a₆ = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common ratio r between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is

r = $\frac{216}{-1296}$ = $\frac{-1296}{7776}$ = $\frac{7776}{-46656}$ = - $\frac{1}{6}$

This indicates the sequence is geometric.

To obtain any term in the sequence, multiply the previous term by r, thus

a₅ = 216 × - $\frac{1}{6}$ = - 36

a₆ = - 36 × - $\frac{1}{6}$ = 6

The USDA conducted tests for salmonella in produce grown in California. In an independent sample of 252 cultures obtained from w

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 252$

The number that tested positive is $k_1 = 18$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 476$

The number that tested positive is $k_2 = 20$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally the first sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _1 = \frac{k_1 }{ n_1 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = \frac{18 }{ 252 }$

=> $\^ p _1 = 0.071$

Generally the second sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p _2 = \frac{k_2 }{ n_2 }$

=> $\^ p _2 = \frac{20 }{ 476}$

=> $\^ p _2 = 0.042$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : p_1 - p_2 = 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : p_1 - p_2 \ne 0$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented

$z = \frac{ \^ p_1 - \^ p_2 - ( p_ 1 - p_2 )}{ \sqrt{\frac{\^ p_1 (1-\^ p_1)}{ n_1 } + \frac{\^ p_2 (1-\^ p_2)}{ n_2 } } }$

=> $z = \frac{ 0.071 - 0.042 - 0 }{ \sqrt{\frac{0.071 (1-0.071)}{ 252 } + \frac{0.042 (1-\^ 0.042)}{ 476 } } }$

=> $z = 1.56$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the right corresponding to 1.56 is

$P(Z > 1.56 ) =0.05938$

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = 2 * P(Z > 1.56 )$

=> $p-value = 2 * 0.05938$

=> $p-value = 0.1188$

From the value obtained we see that $p-value > \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There no sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of salmonella in the region’s water differs from the proportion of salmonella in the region’s wildlife

A bicycle tire has a radius of 10 inches. To the nearest inch, how far does the tire travel when it makes 4 revolutions?

Aloiza [94]

Answer: 251.2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation: You have to multiply 4*2*π*radius. So, simply multiply 4*2*3.14*10. It would come out as 251.2 inches.

Rick buys 3 CDs and 5 video games. The cost of one video game is $12.00 more than the cost of one CD. If Rick spends $164.00, wh

Dmitry [639]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = price per video game

y = price per CD

164 = 5x + 3y

and then we know

x = y + 12

now we can use this as substitute in the first equation :

164 = 5(y + 12) + 3y = 5y + 60 + 3y = 8y + 60

104 = 8y

y = $13

x = y + 12 = 13 + 12 = $25

so, each CD costs $13.
