Answer:Gary-18 brother-10

Step-by-step explanatiation:Gary=8 years+ brother's years

6 years ago :

Gary=3×brother's years

So:

1st case:brother=1 year,gary=3 years=>after 6 years brother=7 years,gary=9 years (NO)

2nd case:brother=2years,gary=6 years=>after 6 years brother=8 years,gary=12 (no)

3rd case:brother=3 years,gary=9 years=>after 6 years:brother=9 yrs, gary=15 yrs(no)

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The common difference is -5/4

T(n) = T(0)  - 5n/4,

where T(0) can be any number. d = -5/4

Assuming T(0) = 0, then first term

T(1) = 0 -5/4 = -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

T(n) = T(0) + n*d

Let

S1 = T(x) + T(x+1) + T(x+2) + T(x+3) = 4*T(0) + (x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3)d = 240

S2 = T(x+4) + T(x+5) + T(x+6) + T(x+7) = 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d = 220

S2 - S1

= 4*T(0) + (x+5 + x+6 + x+7 + x+8)d - (4*T(0) + (x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4)d)

= (5+6+7+8 - 1 -2-3-4)d

= 4(4)d

= 16d

Since S2=220,  S1 = 240

220-240 = 16d

d = -20/16 = -5/4

Since T(0) has not been defined, it could be any number.

hammer [34]

Answer:

a.) one sample t test

b.) H0 : μ = 59.3

c.) H1 : μ > 59.3

d.) μ = 59.3 ; σ = 39.84

e.) xbar = 79.4 ; s = 61.36

Test statistic = 3.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample data:

49.00 49.00 49.00 49.00 49.00 63.00 63.00 63.00 63.00 63.00 199.00 199.00 199.00 199.00 199.00 38.00 38.00 38.00 38.00 38.00 48.00 48.00 48.00 48.00 48.00 49.00 63.00 199.00 38.00 48.00

Sample size, n = 30

Using calculator :

xbar from the data above = 79.4

Standard deviation = 61.359

H0 : μ = 59.3

H1 : μ > 59.3

Test statistic :

(Xbar - μ) ÷ (σ/sqrt(n)

σ = 34.83

(79.4 - 59.3) ÷ (34.83/sqrt(30))

20.1 ÷ 6.359

Test statistic = 3.16
