Answer:

(a)18

(b)1089

(c)Sunday

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem presented is an arithmetic sequence where:

  • First Sunday, a=1
  • Common Difference (Every subsequent Sunday), d=7

We want to determine the number of Sundays in the 120 days before Christmas.

(a)In an arithmetic sequence:

\text{The nth term}, T_n=a+(n-1)d\\T_n \leq 120\\$Therefore:$\\1+7(n-1) \leq 120\\1+7n-7\leq 120\\7n-6\leq 120\\7n\leq 120+6\\7n\leq 126\\$Divide both sides by 7$\\n\leq 18

Since the result is a whole number, there are 18 Sundays in which Aldsworth advertises.

Therefore, Aldsworth advertised 18 times.

(b)Next, we want to determine the sum of the first 18 terms of the sequence

1,8,15,...

\text{Sum of a sequence}, S_n=\frac{n}{2}( 2a+(n-1)d)\\S_{18}=\frac{18}{2}( 2*1+(18-1)*7)\\=9(2+17*7)\\=9(2+119)\\=9*121\\S_{18}=1089

The sum of the numbers of days published in all the advertisements is 1089.

(c)SInce the 120th day is the 18th Sunday, Christmas is on Sunday.

Answer:

\huge\boxed{x=12sin80=11.8}\\\huge\boxed{y=12cos80=2.1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Because sine = opposite over hypotenuse, simply multiply both sides by the hypotenuse to get:

hypotenuse * sinθ = opposite

Do the same thing with cos to get:

hypotenuse * cosθ = adjacent

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.

A study was done on the timeliness of flights (on-time vs. delayed) of two major airlines: StatsAir and AirMedian. Data were col
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The answer is Option E; both B and C are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Both (b) and (c) are correct. Simpson's paradox is a paradox in which a trend that appears in different groups of data disappears when these groups are combined, and the reverse trend appears for the aggregate data. This result is often encountered in social-science and medical-science statistics, and is particularly confounding when frequency data are unduly given causal interpretations. Simpson's Paradox disappears when causal relations are brought into consideration.

Now, this question is an example of Simpsons paradox because the groups of collected data over a period of time from five major cities showed a trend that StatsAir does better overall, but this trend is reversed when the groups are studied separately to show that air median does better.

So, option B is correct.

Also, City is a variable that influences both the dependent variable and independent variable, causing a spurious association. That is it is the cause of why the 2 results are biased. Thus, city is a lurking variable.

So, option C is also correct

givi [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

An = 10 -10/2^n

the first 4 terms​ are :

A1 = 10 -10/2^1 = 10-5

A1 = 5

A2 = 10 -10/2^2 = 10-10/4 = 10-5/2 = (20-5)/2

A2 = 15/2

A3 = 10 -10/2^3 = 10-10/8 =10-  5/4 = (40-5)/4

A3 = 35/4

A4 = 10 -10/2^4 = 10-10/16 = 10-5/8 = (80-5)/8

A4 = 75/8
