The next three terms are: -3, 6, and 15

To get each new term, we simply add 9 to the last term. So we add 9 to -12 to get -3. Then we add 9 to -3 to get 6. Finally we add 9 to 6 to get 15

In other words,
first term = -12
second term = first term+9 = -12+9 = -3
third term = second term + 9 = -3+9 = 6
fourth term = third term + 9 = 6+9 = 15

This process repeats forever though we only need three terms in this case.

So that's why the answer is the three values -3, 6 and 15

Which statements about the system are true? Check all that apply. y =1/3 x – 4 3y – x = –7 The system has one solution. The syst
fredd [130]

Answer:

The true statements are:

- The system consists of parallel lines

- Both lines have the same slope

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the solution of the linear equations

- There are three types of the solutions of the system of linear equations

# If the two lines intersect each other, then there is one solution

- The equations are ax+ by = c , dx + ey = f

# If the two lines parallel to each other, then there is no solution

- The equations are ax+ by = c , ax + by = d in its simplest form ,

  where a is the coefficient of x , b is the coefficient of y and

  c , d are the numerical terms

# If the two lines coincide (over each other), then there are infinite

   solutions

- The equations are ax+ by = c , ax + by = c in its simplest form, where

  a is the coefficient of x , b is the coefficient of y and c is the

  numerical term

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The system of equation is:

   y = 1/3 x - 4 ⇒ (1)

   3y - x = -7 ⇒ (2)

- Lets put equation (1) in the form of equation (2)

∵ y = 1/3 x - 4 ⇒ multiply both sides by 3

∴ 3y = x - 12 ⇒ subtract x from both sides

∴ 3y - x = -12

∴ Equation (1) is 3y - x = -12

∵ Equation (2) is 3y - x = -7

∵ The coefficients of x and y in the two equation are equal

∵ The numerical terms in the two equations are not equal

∴ The equations have no solution because their lines are parallel

∵ The parallel lines have same slope

* The true statements are

- The system consists of parallel lines

- Both lines have the same slope

A journal article reports that a sample of size 5 was used as a basis for calculating a 95% CI for the true average natural freq
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Lower = 231.134- 3.098=228.036

Upper = 231.134+ 3.098=234.232

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n=5 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

And for this case we know that the 95% confidence interval is given by:

\bar X=\frac{233.002 +229.266}{2}= 231.134

And the margin of error is given by:

ME = \frac{233.002 -229.266}{2}= 1.868

And the margin of error is given by:

ME= t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1 = 5-1=4

And the critical value for 95% of confidence is t_{\alpha/2}= 2.776

So then we can find the deviation like this:

s = \frac{ME \sqrt{n}}{t_{\alpha/2}}

s = \frac{1.868* \sqrt{5}}{2.776}= 1.506

And for the 99% confidence the critical value is: t_{\alpha/2}= 4.604

And the margin of error would be:

ME = 4.604 *\frac{1.506}{\sqrt{5}}= 3.098

And the interval is given by:

Lower = 231.134- 3.098=228.036

Upper = 231.134+ 3.098=234.232
