Answer:

<u>x = -7.5 - 1.5(n−1) </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence has the form

x = a + d(n−1)

a is the first term and d is the common difference

The given arithmetic sequence is

-7.5,-9,-10.5,-12

The first term is -7.5

d = common difference = -9 - (-7.5) = -1.5

∴ x = -7.5 - 1.5(n−1)

Two different weight loss programs are being compared to determine their effectiveness. Ten men were assigned to each program (t
True [87]

Answer:

WE reject the Null and conclude that one of the drug is more effective than the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Diet 1 3.4 10.9 2.8 7.8 0.9 5.2 2.5 10.5 7.1 7.5

Diet 2 11.9 13.1 11.6 6.8 6.8 8.8 12.5 8.6 17.5 10.3

This is a matched pair sample :

The hypothesis :

H0 : μd = 0

H1 : μd ≠ 0

Hence, we intun the difference between the two groups of value :

Difference, d = -8.9,-2.2,-8.8,1,-5.9,-3.6,-10,1.9,-10.4,-2.8

The test statistic :

dbar ÷ (Sd/√n)

dbar = mean of difference = Σd / n = - 49.7 / 10 = - 4.97

Standard deviation of difference, Sd = 4.51

Test statistic :

-4.97 ÷ (4.51/√10)

Test statistic = - 3.485

The sample size, n = 10

df = n - 1 ; 10 - 1 = 9

Critical value (0.10, 9) = 1.833

If Test statistic > |Critical value |

Since 3.486 > 1.833 ; WE reject the Null and conclude that one of the drug is more effective than the other

const2013 [10]

Answer: $6321

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value is given as exactly what you might think it means intuitively, the return you can expect for some type of action.

The basic expected value formula is the probability of an event multiplied by the amount of times the event happens:(P(x) * n).

he formula for the Expected Value for a binomial random variable is:

P(x) * X.

X is the number of trials and P(x) is the probability of success.

The formula for calculating the Expected Value where there are multiple probabilities is:

E(X) = ∑X * P(X)

The equation is basically the same, but here you are adding the sum of all the gains multiplied by their individual probabilities instead of just one probability.

Calculating the expected value of winning as follows:

Given,

Fx= e^-x, x is greater or equal to 0

Now, P less than or equal to zero =

[-e^-x] ^1

e^-0 - e^-1

= 1 - e^-1

= 0.6321

and P(x>1) = 1-0.6321= 0.3679

Therefore,Let y= amount of winnings.

Based on the above given information,

y= $10000 0

P(y)= 0.6321 0.3679

The expected value of winning:

E(y) = ΣyP(y)

E(y) = 10000 × 0.6321 + 0 × 0.3679

E(y) = $6321

Therefore, the expected value of winning is $6321
