Answer:

k= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find k, use the points and the m =-7 in the slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\-7=\frac{-8-k}{5-4} \\\\-7 = \frac{-8-k}{1}\\\\-7=-8-k\\\\k = -8+7\\\\k=-1$

Several million lottery tickets are sold, and 21% of the tickets are held by men. Suppose you select a random sample of people a

valina [46]

Answer:

hypergeometric

Step-by-step explanation:

For each winning ticket, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is held by a men, or it is not.

There is a set number of X, and as the number of winning tickets decrease, the probability of a winning ticket being held by a men can decrease or increase. This is a characteristic of the hypergeometric distribution.

<h3>Answer: 22.5</h3>

Work Shown:

450 calories = 20 ounces

450/20 calories = 20/20 ounces ..... divide both sides by 20

22.5 calories = 1 ounce

This smoothie has 22.5 calories per ounce.

Dont really understand how to do this

$t_{10} = -22 \ \text{ and } S_{10} = -85$

========================================================

Explanation:

$t_1 = \text{first term} = 5\\t_2 = \text{first term}-3 = t_1 - 3 = 5-3 = 2$

Note we subtract 3 off the previous term (t1) to get the next term (t2). Each new successive term is found this way

$t_3 = t_2 - 3 = 2-3 = -1\\t_4 = t_3 - 3 = -1-3 = -4$

and so on. This process may take a while to reach $t_{10}$

There's a shortcut. The nth term of any arithmetic sequence is

$t_n = t_1+d(n-1)$

We plug in $t_1 = 5 \text{ and } d = -3$ and simplify

$t_n = t_1+d(n-1)\\t_n = 5+(-3)(n-1)\\t_n = 5-3n+3\\t_n = -3n+8$

Then we can plug in various positive whole numbers for n to find the corresponding $t_n$ value. For example, plug in n = 2

$t_n = -3n+8\\t_2 = -3*2+8\\t_2 = -6+8\\t_2 = 2$

which matches with the second term we found earlier. And,

$tn = -3n+8\\t_{10} = -3*10+8\\t_{10} = -30+8\\t_{10} = \boldsymbol{-22} \ \textbf{ is the tenth term}$

---------------------

The notation $S_{10}$ refers to the sum of the first ten terms $t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_9, t_{10}$

We could use either the long way or the shortcut above to find all $t_1$ through $t_{10}$ . Then add those values up. Or we can take this shortcut below.

$Sn = \text{sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence}\\S_n = (n/2)*(t_1+t_n)\\S_{10} = (10/2)*(t_1+t_{10})\\S_{10} = (10/2)*(5-22)\\S_{10} = 5*(-17)\\\boldsymbol{S_{10} = -85}$

The sum of the first ten terms is -85

-----------------------

As a check for $S_{10}$ , here are the first ten terms:

t1 = 5
t2 = 2
t3 = -1
t4 = -4
t5 = -7
t6 = -10
t7 = -13
t8 = -16
t9 = -19
t10 = -22

Then adding said terms gets us...

5 + 2 + (-1) + (-4) + (-7) + (-10) + (-13) + (-16) + (-19) + (-22) = -85

This confirms that $S_{10} = -85$ is correct.
