Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the described rule, we have

a_1=7\\ \\a_1^2=7^2=49\Rightarrow a_2=4+9+1=14\\ \\a_2^2=14^2=196\Rightarrow a_3=1+9+6+1=17\\ \\a_3^2=17^2=289\Rightarrow a_4=2+8+9+1=20\\ \\a_4^2=20^2=400\Rightarrow a_5=4+0+0+1=5\\ \\a_5^2=5^2=25\Rightarrow a_6=2+5+1=8\\ \\a_6^2=8^2=64\Rightarrow a_7=6+4+1=11\\ \\a_7^2=11^2=121\Rightarrow a_8=1+2+1+1=5\\ \\\text{and so on...}

We can see the pattern

a_5=a_8=a_{11}=a_{14}=...=5\\ \\a_6=a_9=a_{12}=a_{15}=...=8\\ \\a_7=a_{10}=a_{13}=a_{16}=...=11

In other words, for all k\ge 2

a_{3k-1}=5\\ \\a_{3k}=8\\ \\a_{3k+1}=11

Now,

a_{2018}=a_{3\cdot 673-1}=5

Answer:

a.2nd quarter with 9 goals

b. 4.8 goals

c. 4 goals

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The mode is defined as the most appearing data point or the data point with the highest frequency..

From our data(for away goals):

  • 1st quarter-2
  • 2nd quarter-9
  • 3rd quarter-7
  • 4th quarter-4

Hence, the 2nd quarter has the mode for away goals with 9 goals.

b. Mean is defined as the average of a set of data points.

#We calculate the totals goals per quarter, sum over all quarters then divide by the number of games, 10:

\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}\\1^{st }_g=Away+Home=5+2=7\\\\2^{nd}_g=Away+Home=4+9=13\\\\3^{rd}_g=Away+Home=8+7=15\\\\4^{th}_g=Away+Home=9+4=13\\\\\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum{x_i}=\frac{1}{10}(7+13+15+13)=4.8

Hence, the mean number of goals per quarter is 4.8 goals

c. To find the number of more home goals than away goals, we subtract from their summations as:

g_m=\sum{g_h}-\sum{g_a}\\\\=(5+4+8+9)-(2+9+7+4)\\\\=26-22\\\\=4

Hence, there are 4 more home goals than away goals.

Help with multi step inequalities please
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

B. The solution is valid because all steps to solve the inequality for F are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

F - 32 ≤ 0

Add 32 to both sides of the equation to have;

F -32 + 32 ≤ 0 + 32

F ≤ 0 + 32

F ≤ 32

It can be observed that to solve for F, the steps are correct. Thus the solution is valid. Therefore, the correct choice in the given question is the solution is valid because all steps to solve the inequality for F are correct.

An average computer mouse inspector can inspect 50 mice per hour. The 48 computer mice inspectors at a particular factory can on
Ronch [10]

Answer:  C. Yes, because -2.77 falls in the critical region .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \mu be the population mean .

As per given , we have

H_0:\mu=50\\\\ H_a: \mu

Since the alternative hypothesis is left-tailed and population standard deviation is not given , so we need to perform a left-tailed t-test.

Test statistic : t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

Also, it is given that ,

n= 48

\overline{x}=46

s= 10

t=\dfrac{46-50}{\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{48}}}=\dfrac{-4}{\dfrac{10}{6.93}}\\\\=\dfrac{-4}{1.443}\approx-2.77

Degree of freedom = df = n-1= 47

Using t-distribution , we have

Critical value =t_{\alpha,df}=t_{0.025,47}=2.0117

Since, the absolute t-value (|-2.77|=2.77) is greater than the critical value.

So , we reject the null hypothesis.

i.e. -2.77 falls in the critical region.

[Critical region is the region of values that associates with the rejection of the null hypothesis at a given probability level.]

Conclusion : We have sufficient evidence to support the claim that these inspectors are slower than average.

Hence, the correct answer is C. Yes, because -2.77 falls in the critical region
