There are 3 marbles (yellow,blue and green). You pick a marble and flip a coin.

The linear function f(x) = 0.9x + 79 represents the average test score in your math class, where x is the number of the test tak

Levart [38]

Given:

The linear function for average test score in your math class is

$f(x)=0.9x+79$

where x is the number of the test taken.

The linear function g(x) in the given table represents the average test score in your science class, where x is the number of the test taken.

To find:

Part A: The test average for your math class after completing test 2.

Part B: The test average for your science class after completing test 2.

Part C: Which class had a higher average after completing test 4?

Solution:

Part A:

We have,

$f(x)=0.9x+79$

Put x=2 in the above function, to find the test average for your math class after completing test 2.

$f(2)=0.9(2)+79$

$f(2)=1.8+79$

$f(2)=80.8$

Therefore, the test average for your math class after completing test 2 is 80.8.

Part B:

From the given table it is clear that g(x) =79 at x=2.

Therefore, the test average for your science class after completing test 2 is 79.

Part C:

Put x=4 in f(x), to find the test average for your math class after completing test 4.

$f(4)=0.9(4)+79$

$f(4)=3.6+79$

$f(4)=82.6$

From the table it is clear that the value of g(x) is increased by 1 as x is increased by 1. So, the value of function g(x) at x=4 must be 1 more than 80.

$g(4)=81$

It is clear that,

$82.6>81$

Therefore, math class had a higher average after completing test 4.

Find the sum of the first 20 terms of an arithmetic sequence with an 18th term of 8.1 and a common difference of 0.25.

il63 [147K]

The sum of the first 20 terms of an arithmetic sequence with the 18th term of 8.1 and a common difference of 0.25 is 124.5

Given,

18th term of an arithmetic sequence = 8.1

Common difference = d = 0.25.

<h3>What is an arithmetic sequence?</h3>

The sequence in which the difference between the consecutive term is constant.

The nth term is denoted by:

a_n = a + ( n - 1 ) d

The sum of an arithmetic sequence:

S_n = n/2 [ 2a + ( n - 1 ) d ]

Find the 18th term of the sequence.

18th term = 8.1

d = 0.25

8.1 = a + ( 18 - 1 ) 0.25

8.1 = a + 17 x 0.25

8.1 = a + 4.25

a = 8.1 - 4.25

a = 3.85

Find the sum of 20 terms.

S_20 = 20 / 2 [ 2 x 3.85 + ( 20 - 1 ) 0.25 ]

= 10 [ 7.7 + 19 x 0.25 ]

= 10 [ 7.7 + 4.75 ]

= 10 x 12.45

= 124.5

Thus the sum of the first 20 terms of an arithmetic sequence with the 18th term of 8.1 and a common difference of 0.25 is 124.5

A pharmaceutical company is developing a new oral medication for the treatment of psoriasis, a skin disease marked by red, itchy

xeze [42]

Let's say we had a sample of 100 people. We'll split them into two equal groups of 50 each. The two groups will be the treatment and control groups. The treatment group, aka experimental group, is where the actual drug is given. The control group is where the fake drug is given. People in the control group must not know the pill is fake. For more info, check out the placebo effect. In short, this is when a person takes a fake pill and thinks they get better, and that positive mentality helps them actually get better.

If both the treatment and control groups improve (on average) together, then that means the fake pill is just as good as the real thing. Consequently, it means the real pill isn't effective at all. If on the other hand the experimental group does better overall compared to the control group, then we can see that the real pill is doing what it's intended to do. Of course, there are a lot of complicated factors involved, as there is with anything dealing with medicine. I haven't mentioned anything about side effects or things of that nature. In this simplified viewpoint of the world, we're only considering the one factor of whether or not the drug clears up the psoriasis on the skin.

To make things fair, it's best to randomly generate numbers so that you randomly assign people into each group. That way you have representative samples. Also, when drawing the sample of 100 people, make sure that's as random as possible to help represent the population as best as possible. The fact that the people in the control group not knowing that they are taking the fake pill means we have a single blind experiment. A double blind experiment is when even the researchers are not sure who is taking the real pill vs the fake pill. Double blind experiments are encouraged to prevent the researcher's bias from affecting the results.

To keep participants from knowing whether or not they are in the control group, the common solution is to provide a sugar pill. The pill will not cause any side effects and will not cause any improvements to health. It's simply sugar. To the participant, it seems like the real thing since they can't taste the difference or detect anything seems different.

Joy Wigens, who works at Putnam Investments, received a check for $2,670. She deposited 1/3 of the check in her Citibank account

spin [16.1K]

Answer: $1,780

Step-by-step explanation:

Joy Wigens deposited 1/3 of the check of $2,670 that she received in her Citibank account.

The amount she deposited in her Citibank account was:

= 1/3 * 2,670

= $890

The amount she is left with after this deposit will therefore be:

= Check amount - deposit at Citibank

= 2,670 - 890

= $1,780

What is the value of 11−3m , when m = 2? (Please do it step by step because I dont know how to do this ;[ )

STatiana [176]

Substitute the variable for the value given.

11 - 3m becomes 11 - 3(2)

Now do the order of operations.

11 - 3(2) =
11 - 6 =
5

So, the answer is 5.
