Answer:

\displaystyle a_8=142,11\ mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence

Each term in a geometric sequence can be computed as the previous term by a constant number called the common ratio. The formula to get the term n is

\displaystyle a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

where a_1 is the first term of the sequence

The problem describes Georgie took 275 mg of the medicine for her cold in the first hour and that in each subsequent hour, the amount of medicine in her body is 91% (0.91) of the amount from the previous hour. It can be written as

amount in hour n = amount in hour n-1 * 0.91

a)

This information provides the necessary data to write the general term as

\displaystyle a_n=275\ .\ 0.91^{n-1}

b)

In the 8th hour (n=8), the remaining medicine present is Georgie's body is

\displaystyle a_n=275\ .\ 0.91^{8-1}

\displaystyle a_n=275\ .\ 0.91^{7}

\boxed{\displaystyle a_8=142,11\ mg}

Four students spent $9.40 on school lunch.at this rate,predict the amount 10 students would spend on the same school lunch
Tom [10]
You will need to know how much each lunch cost
so
9.40  <span>÷ 4  =  2.35
so each  lunch cost 2.35 dollars

now we need to find out how much it will cost for 10 lunches

10 x 2.35 = 23.5

so for 10 lunches it will cost 23.5</span>

. A triangle has side lengths of 8, 7, and 14. To the nearest tenth of a degree find the measure of the angle opposite the side
4vir4ik [10]

Given:

The measure of three sides of a triangle are 8, 7 and 14.

To find:

The measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8.

Solution:

According to the Law of Cosine:

\cos A=\dfrac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}

Let a=8, b=7 and c=14, then by using Law of Cosine, we get

\cos A=\dfrac{7^2+14^2-8^2}{2(7)(14)}

\cos A=\dfrac{49+196-64}{196}

\cos A=\dfrac{181}{196}

Taking cos inverse on both sides.

A=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{181}{196}

A=22.561328

A\approx 22.6

Therefore, the measure of the angle opposite the side of length 8 is 22.6 degrees.

Evaluate the sum of the following finite geometric series.<br> 5+15+45 +135+ . . . + 1215<br> Sn=1
Nata [24]

Answer:

1820

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series with common ratio r and first term a is:

a(1-r^n)/(1-r). Plugging this in 5(1-3^6)/(1-3)=1820

A recent broadcast of a television show had a 10 ​share, meaning that among 6000 monitored households with TV sets in​ use, 10​%
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Null and alternative hypothesis

H_0: \pi \geq0.25\\\\H_1: \pi

Test statistic z=-26.82

P-value P=0

The null hypothesis is rejected.

It is concluded that the proportion of households tuned into the program is less than 25%. The claim of the advertiser is rigth and got statistical support.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to perform a hypothesis test of a proportion.

The claim is that less than 25% were tuned into the program, so we will state this null and alternative hypothesis:

H_0: \pi \geq0.25\\\\H_1: \pi

The signifiance level is 0.01.

The sample has a proportion p=0.1 and sample size of n=6000.

The standard deviation of the proportion, needed to calculate the test statistic, is:

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{N} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-25)}{6000} } =0.0056

The test statistic is calculated as:

z=\frac{p-\pi+0.5/N}{\sigma_p} =\frac{0.1-0.25+0.5/6000}{0.0056}=\frac{-0.1499}{0.0056}  =-26.82

As this is a one-tailed test, the P-value is P(z<-26.82)=0. The P-value is smaller than the significance level (0.01), so the effect is significant.

Since the effect is significant, the null hypothesis is rejected. It is concluded that the proportion of households tuned into the program is less than 25%. The claim of the advertiser is rigth and got statistical support.
