Mathematics

Answer:

The two numbers following 1,-2,3,-4,5...  are -6 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

index:   1   2   3   4   5 ....

value:    1  -2  3  -4   5

Let the index be n.  Then the first term is a(1), the secon is a(2), and so on.

a(2) = 2*(-1)^(2-1) = 2*(-1) = -2 (correct)

a(3) = 3*(-1)^(3-1)   =  3*(-1)^2 = 3 (correct)

a(4) = 4*(-1)^(4-1)    = 4*(-1)^3 = -4 (correct)

So the general formula for a(n)  is:    a(n)=n(-1)^(n-1)

Thus,

a(5) = 5(-1)^4 = 5

a(6) = 6(-1)^5 = -6

a(7) = 7(-1)^6 = 7

The "next two numbers in the pattern" are -6 and 7.  The first 7 numbers are

1,-2,3,-4,5, -6, 7

Is there any systematic tendency for part-time college faculty to hold their students to different standards than do full-time f
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

-1. 34

0.1837

Step-by-step explanation:

Full time :

n1 = 125

x1 = 2.7386

s1 = 0.65342

Part time :

n2 = 88

x2 = 2.8439

s2 = 0.49241

H0 : μ1 - μ2 = 0

H1 : μ1 - μ2 ≠ 0

Test statistic :

The test statistic :

(x1 - x2) / sqrt[(s1²/n1 + s2²/n2)]

(2.7386 - 2.8439) / sqrt[(0.65342²/125 + 0.49241²/88)]

−0.1053 / sqrt(0.0034156615712 + 0.0027553)

-0.1053 /0.0785554

= - 1.34

Test statistic = - 1.34

The Pvalue :

Using df = smaller n - 1 = 88 - 1 = 87

Pvalue from test statistic score ;

Pvalue = 0.1837

Pvalue > α ; We fail to reject the null and conclude that the GPA does not differ.

At α = 0.01 ; the result is insignificant

Solve in simultaneou linear equation.
dangina [55]

Answer:

The bag costs 1500, while the umbrella cost 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the bag be b and the cost of the umbrella be u

Total cost is;

b + u = 2,000 •••••(i)

From the second part of the question;

b = 5u-1000 ••••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i

5u-1000 + u = 2000

6u = 2000 + 1000

6u = 3000

u = 3000/6

u = 500

To get b, substitute the value of u into equation ii

b = 5(500)-1000

b = 2500-1000

b = 1500
