What are the next two numbers in the pattern 3,6,5,10,9,18,17.

2 answers:

6 0

This pattern appears to alternate between doubling and subtracting by 1.

To get from 3 to 6, we multiply by two.
To get from 6 to 5, we subtract one.
To get from 5 to 10, we multiply by two.
To get from 10 to 9, we subtract one.
To get from 9 to 18, we multiply by two.
To get from 18 to 17, we subtract one.

Therefore, next we need to multiply by two.
17 x 2 = 34
So, the next number is 34.

To find the number after, we subtract one.
34 - 1 = 33
Thus, the number after is 33.

In conclusion, the next two numbers are 34 and 33.

34 and 33 because the pattern goes # x 2 then - 1

YOU HAVE 8 COINS IN A BAG. 3 OF THEM ARE UNFAIR AND THEY HAVE 60% CHANCE OF COMING UP WITH HEAD WHEN FLIPPED. YOU RANDOMLY CHOSE

madreJ [45]

Answer:

0.29125 or 29.125%

Step-by-step explanation:

For the five fair coins, the probability of coming up head when flipped is 0.5, so for two flips: 0.5*0.5 = 0.25, for each of these coins. So, the probability to take on of them is 5/8, and the probability of coming up with head: (5/8)*0.25 = 0.15625.

For the unfair coins, the probability of coming up with heads is 0.6, so for two flips: 0.6*0.6 = 0.36 for each unfair coins. The probability to chose one of them is 3/8, and the probability of coming up with head: (3/8)*0.36 = 0.135.

These probabilities are dependent, so to have the total probability we must sum them:

P = 0.15625 + 0.135

P = 0.29125 or

P = 0.29125 x 100% = 29.125%

In a study, researchers wanted to measure the effect of alcohol on the hippocampal region, the portion of the brain responsibl

Answer:

$t=\frac{8.19-9.02}{\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{17}}}=-4.28$

The degrees of freedom are given by

$df=n-1=17-1=16$

The p value would be given by this probability:

$p_v =P(t_{(16)}$

Since the p value is lower than the significance level provided of 0.01 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean is significantly lower than 9.02 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

$\bar X=8.19 cm^3$ represent the sample mean
