Option B

48th term of arithmetic sequence is -152

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that a arithmetic sequence has explict formula,

$a_n = -11 + (n - 1)(-3)$

To find: 48th term of the arithmetic sequence

The nth term of arithmetic sequence can be found by substituting the required value of n in the explict formula

So 48th term of the arithmetic sequence can be found by substituting n = 48 in explict formula

$a_n = -11 + (n - 1)(-3)$

Plug in n = 48

$a_{48} = -11 + (48 - 1)(-3)$

On solving we get,

$a_{48} = -11 + (47)(-3)\\\\a_{48} = -11 - 141\\\\a_{48} = - 152$

Thus 48th term of arithmetic sequence is -152

Solve for x:sinx+sin2x+sin3x=cosx+cos2x+cos3x in the interval 0≤x≤2π.

Medium

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

We write the given equation as

(sinx+sin3x)+sin2x=(cosx+cos3x)+cos2x

or 2sin2xcosx+sin2x=2cos2xcosx+cos2x

or sin2x(2cosx+1)=cos2x(2cosx+1)

or (sin2x−cos2x)(2cosx+1)=0

∴sin2x−cos2x=0 or 2cosx+1=0

If sin2x−cos2x=0, then tan2x=1,

Hence 2x=nπ+π/4

or x=(4n+1)

.(1)

If 2cosx+1=0, then cosx=−1/2 (2)

∴x=2nπ±

2π

or x=

6n±2

We seek values of x in the interval 0≤x≤2π

In this interval (1) gives

x=π/8,5π/8,9π/8,13π/8. (n=0,1,2,3)

and (2) gives x=2π/3,4π/3. (for n=0,1)

Thus we get the answer

x=π/8,5π/8,2π/3,9π/8,4π/3,13π/8.

In a study of the accuracy of fast food drive-through orders, McDonald’s had 33 orders that were not accurate among 362 orders o

melomori [17]

Answer:

A. We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of inaccurate orders p is 0.1.

B. Null hypothesis: $p=0.1$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.1$

C. $z=\frac{0.0912 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{362}}}=-0.558$

D. $z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96$ $z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

E. Fail to the reject the null hypothesis

F. So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of inaccurate orders is not significantly different from 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=362 represent the random sample taken

X=33 represent the number of orders not accurate

$\hat p=\frac{33}{363}=0.0912$ estimated proportion of orders not accurate

$p_o=0.10$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

A: Write the claim as a mathematical statement involving the population proportion p

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion of inaccurate orders p is 0.1.

B: State the null (H0) and alternative (H1) hypotheses

Null hypothesis: $p=0.1$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.1$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

C: Find the test statistic

Since we have all the info required we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.0912 -0.1}{\sqrt{\frac{0.1(1-0.1)}{362}}}=-0.558$

D: Find the critical value(s)

Since is a bilateral test we have two critical values. We need to look on the normal standard distribution a quantile that accumulates 0.025 of the area on each tail. And for this case we have:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96$ $z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

P value

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z$

E: Would you Reject or Fail to Reject the null (H0) hypothesis.

Fail to the reject the null hypothesis

F: Write the conclusion of the test.

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion of inaccurate orders is not significantly different from 0.1.
