Suppose the first five terms of a sequence are 4, 5, 9, 27, 123. How could the next term in the sequence be generated?

1 answer:

4 0

The correct answer is:

B) by finding the factorial of the term number, then adding 3 to the result.

Explanation:

If we add 3 before finding the factorial, for the first term we would have:

(1+3)! = 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24.

This is not the first term, so this is not accurate.

Finding the factorial of the term number and then adding 3, we would have:
1!+3 = 1+3 = 4
2!+3 = 2*1+3 = 2+3 = 5
3!+3 = 3*2*1+3 = 6+3 = 9
4!+3 = 4*3*2*1+3 = 24+3 = 27
5!+3 = 5*4*3*2*1+3 = 120+3 = 123

This is the correct answer.

Answer:

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the designer's claim of a better shoe is supported by the trial results.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 15 \ months$

The sample size is n = 25

The sample mean is $\= x = 17 \ months$

The standard deviation is $s = 5.5 \ months$

Let assume the level of significance of this test is $\alpha = 0.05$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 15$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu > 17$

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

$df = n -1$

=> $df = 25 -1$

=> $df = 24$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x- \mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$

=> $t = \frac{ 17 - 15 }{\frac{5.5}{\sqrt{25} } }$

=> $t = 1.8182$

Generally from the student t distribution table the probability of obtaining $t = 1.8182$ to the right of the curve at a degree of freedom of $df = 24$ is

$p-value = P(t > 0.18182 ) = 0.4286$

From the value obtained we see that $p-value > \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the designer's claim of a better shoe is supported by the trial results.

Answer:

Number of students in vans =15 and bus =46

Step-by-step explanation:

use variables for the vans and buses

let x= vans and y=buses

Now solve the 2 equations simultaneously

remember to number your equations

6x+7y=412..........1

6x+9y=504.........2

make x the subject of one equation

and label it equation 3

6x=412—7y

$x = \frac{206}{3} - \frac{7y}{6} .............3$

subs 3 into 2

$6( \frac{206}{3} - \frac{7y}{6} ) + 9y = 504$

$412 - 7y + 9y = 504$

$- 7y + 9y = 504 - 412$

$2y = 92$

$y = 46...................4$

subs 4 into 1

$6x + 7(46) = 412$

$6x + 322 = 412$

$6x = 412 - 322$

$6x = 90$

$x = 15$

Therefore there are 15 students in each van and 46 students in each bus.

Two legs of a right triangle are 4cm, and 3cm. find the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle

sergiy2304 [10]

It'll be 4^2+ 3^2 then the answer you get you take the square root of it which will give you the hypotenuse.
Your answer would be 5 because square root of 25 is 5
If u want the formula it's a^2+b^=c^2
C is the hypotenuse and a and b is the lengths
