Answer: The 3rd number in the sequence is 29.

Step-by-step explanation: What we have is a sequence of “ODD” numbers and they are consecutive, which means they come one after another with regular intervals. We don’t have any of the numbers but we can start by saying ‘let x represent the first number in the sequence’

With this in mind, we can now assume all other four numbers in the sequence. Therefore if the 1st number is x, the 2nd number would be x + 2, and the the 3rd number would be x + 4, 4th number would be x + 6 while the 5th number would be x + 8.

The reason is that, every odd number is an addition of two to the previous odd number. For instance, if you start with 3, the next odd number would be 3+2 (5), and so on.

Therefore we can now write our consecutive odd numbers as follows;

x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8)

Remember that all the numbers add up to 145. Therefore,

x + x + 2 + x +4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 145

5x + 20 = 145

Subtract 20 from both sides of the equation

5x = 125

Divide both sides of the equation by 5

x = 25.

The first odd number is 25, which means the 3rd odd number is 25 + 4.

Therefore the 3rd odd number is 29.

Three students want to estimate the mean word length of the same book. To do this, each student randomly chose 4 words from the
Firlakuza [10]

The solutions to the questions are given below

a)

sample(n) word length sample mean

1                    5,4,4,2    3.75

2                    3,2,3,6     3.5

3                         5,6,3,3    4.25


b)R =0.75

c)

  • The mean of the sample means will tend to be a better estimate than a single sample mean.
  • The closer the range of the sample means is to 0, the more confident they can be in their estimate.

<h3>What is the students are going to use the sample means to estimate the mean word length in the book.?</h3>

The table below shows sample means in the table.

sample(n) word length sample mean

1                    5,4,4,2    3.75

2                    3,2,3,6     3.5

3                         5,6,3,3    4.25

b)

Generally, the equation for is  mathematically given as

variation in the sample means

R =maximum -minimum

R=4.25-3.5

R =0.75

c)

In conclusion, In most cases, the mean of many samples will provide a more accurate estimate than the mean of a single sample.

They may have a higher level of confidence in their estimate if the range of the sample means is closer to 0 than it is now.

HELP pleaseee ASAP I’m stuck
Blizzard [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

using trig, tangent is equal to opposite over adjacent.

in this case, the angle is 45, opposite is 7, and adjacent is a.

thus tan 45° = 7/a

solve for a to get a = 7/tan 45° = 4.32

Does the equation x^2+y=144 define y as a function of x?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The given equation is

x^2 + y = 144

First we solve for y, and for that, we have to islolate y, that is

y= 144-x^2

And it pass the vertical line test. So here y is a function of x .

So we can define the given equation as y as a function of x .
