An article in a local town newspaper discusses the results of state test scores in their town. The reporter headlines, "The stud

ents in this town don't have the necessary skills." The state test says that a score of 261 or higher on its test reflects the student has the skills needed to graduate. A local town newspaper conducted a random sample of 200 students and found the mean to be 257 and a standard deviation of 41 points. Is this sample result good evidence that the mean of all students in this town is less than 261

Answer:

We are supposed to find Is this sample result good evidence that the mean of all students in this town is less than 261

Sample size = n = 200

\bar{x}=257

\mu = 257

Since n>30

Standard deviation = \sigma = 41

So,we will use z test

H_0:\mu \geq 261\\H_a:\mu < 261

Formula : z=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

Substitute the values

z=\frac{257-261}{\frac{41}{\sqrt{200}}}

z=-1.37

Now find the p value from the z table

P(z<-1.37)=0.0853

Let us suppose the significance level is 5 %

So, α = 0.05

p value > α

So, we accept the null hypothesis \mu \geq 261

Use function notation to write a recursive formula to represent the sequence: 3, 6, 9, …
dlinn [17]

Answer:

f(n) = f(n - 1) + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute $ n = 1, 2, 3,.. $ to get the recursive formula.

OPTION 1: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 3

Substituting n = 1.

f(1) = f(1 - 1) + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3.

Substituting n = 2.

f(2) = f(2 - 1) + 3 = f(1) + 3 = 3 + 3 = 6.

Substituting n = 3.

f(3) = f(3 - 1) + 3 = f(2) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9.

The numbers match the given sequence. So, we say the above recursive formula represents the sequence.

OPTION 2: f(n) = f(n - 1) + 2

Substituting n = 1

f(1) = f(0) +  2 $ \ne $ 3.

So, this is eliminated.

Similarly, OPTION 3 and OPTION 4 can be eliminated as well.

21,<u> 27</u>, 20, 29, 23, 21, 21, <u>27</u>, 26, 25

27 shows up 2 times so the frequency is 2
