Answer:

-1215.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a geometric sequence:

nth term = a1 r^(n-1)

The first term a1 = 5 and the common ratio r = -15/5 = -3.

So 6th term = 5 * (-3)^(6-1)

= 5 * (-3)^5

= -1215.

8. What is the point-slope form of a line passing through the point (-2.5) with the same slope as

torisob [31]

Answer:

y= -3x-1

Get the slope from the equation by getting y by its self then dividing everything by -1, which gives you y=-3x-12. You the -3 as your slope when doing the point-slope form.

In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, Restaurant A had 295 accurate orders and 55 that were not accurat

Afina-wow [57]

Answer: (a) $14.5\%$

(b) Restaurant B has a significantly lower percentage of orders that are not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

$\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

Given: Significance level : $\alpha: 1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

For Restaurant A , The proportion of orders not accurate : $p=\dfrac{55}{295}\approx0.19$

Then , the Confidence interval for population proportion will be :-

$0.19\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.19(1-0.19)}{295}}\\\\=0.19\pm0.045=(0.145,0.235)=(14.5\%,23.5\%)\\\\\text{i.e.}14.5\%$

Also, 95% confidence interval for the percentage of orders that are not accurate at Restaurant B: $0.138$

By comparing both the lower confidence limit and upper confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant B is lower than the lower confidence limit of t and the upper confidence limit of the interval for Restaurant A.

Therefore, Restaurant B has a significantly lower percentage of orders that are not accurate.
