301=3n+1
solve for n, if it is a natural number (1,2,3,4,5...) then it is in the sequence

301=3n+1
minus 1
300=3n
divide 3
100=n

yes it is
it is the 100th term

Yes it is, if n equals 100, then 3x100 would give you 300, after that you add the 1, and get 301.

What is the measure of angle x, In degrees?<br><br> Helps please!!

Mars2501 [29]

Because segments XY and XZ are of equal length, angle Y and angle Z must be congruent.

All inner angles must add to 180 degrees since it's a triangle.
70+70+x=180
140+x=180
x=40

Final answer: D

A research group needs to determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for all car insurance small claims. From

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a) $z = 1.645$

b) The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.05 = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$ , which means that the answer of question a is z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

(b) If the group wants their estimate to have a maximum error of $12, how many small claims should they sample?

They should sample at least n small claims, in which n is found when

$M = 12, \sigma = 124.88$ . So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$12 = 1.645*\frac{124.88}{\sqrt{n}}$

$12\sqrt{n} = 205.43$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{205.43}{12}$

$\sqrt{n} = 17.12$

$\sqrt{n}^{2} = (17.12)^{2}$

$n = 293$

The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Find the area of the square

butalik [34]

Answer:

13 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

one side of the square =

$AD^{2} = 2^{2} +3^{2}$

$AD^{2} =13$

$AD = \sqrt{13}$

So area of square = Length * Length

= $\sqrt{13}$ *

= 13

News article reports that "Americans have differing views on two potentially inconvenient and invasive practices that airports c

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1) p1=0.83

2) p2=0.81

3) Option B

4) p=0.82

5) s=0.03

6) z=0.67

7) P=0.50

8) Do not reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The proportion of Republicans who think the full-body scans should be applied in airports is equal to the ratio between the republicans that think it should over the total Republicans in the poll:

$p=X/n=258/311=0.83$

2) The proportion of Democrats who think the full-body scans should be applied in airports is equal to:

$p=X/n=294/363=0.81$

3) As we want to know if there is a difference in the proportions calculated, not if one is higher or lower than the other, the correct option is B:

$H_0:p_1-p_2=0\\\\H_a:p_1-p_2\neq0$

4) The pooled estimate of a proportion is the average of both proportions:

$\bar{p}=\frac{p_1+p_2}{2}= \frac{0.83+0.81}{2}=0.82$

5) The standard error can be calculated as:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\bar{p}(1-\bar{p})}{n_1} +\frac{\bar{p}(1-\bar{p})}{n_2}} \\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{0.82*0.18}{311} +\frac{0.82*0.18}{363}} \\\\s=\sqrt{0.00047+0.00041} =\sqrt{0.00088}=0.03$

6) The z-statistic can be calculated as:

$z=\frac{p_1-p_2}{s}=\frac{0.83-0.81}{0.03}=\frac{0.02}{0.03}=0.67$

7) The P-value for z=0.67 is P=0.50 (from the standard normal distribution table).

$2P(Z>|z|)=0.50286$

8) If the significance level is 0.01, the P-value is bigger than the significance level. The effect is not significanct. The null hypothesis is not rejected.

There is not enough evidence to say that both proportions are different.

A. Do not reject H0

Can you also explain how you solve it so i can do by myself:)

blsea [12.9K]

The answer is -624.99. Its simply you just the -500 by 5 to get -100. and then you continue to divide by 5 until you get the 8th term then add all of them and you get the answer. I hope it helped you, sorry if you didn't understand. plz forgive me.
