Answer:

It does not converge.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is an infinite geometric series whose first term is a = 4/7 and common ratio is r = 7/6.

The series ∑a·rⁿ converges if we have |r| < 1.

And the series ∑a·rⁿ diverges if we have |r| > 1.

But we can easily check that |r| = 7/6 > 1.

It means the given series diverges, i.e. does not converge.

Hence, option D is correct answer, i.e. It does not converge.

The sum does not converge because $\dfrac76>1$ .

Which expression is equivalent to One-fifth (150 x minus 80 y + 50 minus 50 x minus 25 y + 20)?

inna [77]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 20x + 21y + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Expression 1/5 (150x - 80y + 50 - 50x - 25y + 20)

Process

1.- Multiply 1/5 by each term

150/5x - 80/5y + 50/5 - 50/5x - 25/5y + 20/5

2.- Simplify

30x - 16y + 10 - 10x - 5y + 4

3.- Simplify like terms

(30x - 10x) + (-16y - 5y) + (10 + 4)

4.- Result

20x + 21y + 14

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After the third step, take the square root of both sides.

Third Step:

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2=\frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}$

Thus, the fourth step is:

$\sqrt{(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2}=\sqrt{ \frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}} }$

The left side cancels:

$(x+\frac{b}{2a})=\pm\sqrt{ \frac{b^2-4ac}{4a^2}} }$

A recent study found that 51 children who watched a commercial for Walker Crisps (potato chips) featuring a long-standing sports

Answer:

The claim is that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

The kind of test to use is a t -test because a t -test is used to check if there is a difference between means of a population

$t = 3.054$

The p-value is $p-value = P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

The conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial

The test statistics is

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first sample size is $n_1 = 51$

The first sample mean is $\mu_1 = 36$

The second sample size is $n_2 = 41$

The second sample size is $\mu_2 = 25$

The first standard deviation is $\sigma _1 = 21.4 \ g$

The second standard deviation is $\sigma _2 = 12.8 \ g$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.05$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu_1 = \mu_ 2$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu_1 > \mu_2$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x_1 - \= x_2}{ \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2} } }$

=> $t = \frac{ 36 - 25}{ \sqrt{ \frac{ 21.4^2}{51} + \frac{ 12.8^2}{41} } }$

=> $t = 3.054$

The p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = P(Z > 3.054)$

Generally from the z table

$P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

=> $p-value = P(Z > 3.054) = 0.0011291$

From the values obtained we see that $p-value < \alpha$ so the null hypothesis is rejected

Thus the conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean amount of Walker Crisps eaten was significantly higher for the children who watched the sports celebrity- endorsed Walker Crisps commercial
