Answer:

$\frac{1215}{32}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ $(r)^{n-1}$ , hence

$a_{6}$ = 5 × $(\frac{3}{2 )} ^{5}$ = 5 × $\frac{243}{32}$ = $\frac{1215}{32}$

I neeed helppp this is so confusing

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the equation

y=7.27x+660, and you are given an x value of 165 so you just substitute that value into the equation for x

y=7.27(165)+660

y=1199.55+660

y=1859.55

Which is 1860ft when rounded to nearest whole number

Abnormalities In the 1980s, it was generally believed that congenital abnormalities affected about 5% of the nation’s chil-dren.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.05$

Alternative hypothesis: $p>0.05$

The conditions and requirements are explained on detail below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation n

n=384 represent the random sample taken

X=46 represent the children with abnormalities in the sample

$\hat p=\frac{46}{384}=0.120$ estimated proportion of children with abnormalities in the sample

$p_o=0.05$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level (no given)

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

p= proportion of children with congenital abnormalities

2) Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion of children with congenital abnormalities exceeds 5%. :

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.05$

Alternative hypothesis: $p>0.05$

We assume that the proportion follows a normal distribution.

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly (different,higher or less) from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

<em>Check for the assumptions that he sample must satisfy in order to apply the test</em>

a)The random sample needs to be representative: On this case the problem no mention about it but we can assume it.

b) The sample needs to be large enough

$np_o =384*0.05=19.2>10$

$n(1-p_o)=384*(1-0.05)=364.8>10$

3) Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.120 -0.05}{\sqrt{\frac{0.05(1-0.05)}{384}}}=6.29$

4) Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level is not provided usually is $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a one side test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>6.29)=1.59x10^{-10}$

Based on the p value obtained and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of children with abnormalities exceeds 0.05 or 5% .

Farmer Smith enclosed his rectangular pasture with fence that cost him $1.50 per linear meter. If his pasture is twice as long a

maria [59]

Answer:

$2,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pasture be x, this means that the length of the pasture will be 2x

The area of a rectangle is L * B

Hence,

x * 2x = 18,000

2x^2 = 180,000

x^2 = 90000

x = 300 meters

This means the length is 600 metres

Now, to get the length of the fence, we need to know the actual perimeter which is 2(L + B)

= 2 ( 300 + 600)

2 * 900 = 1,800 metres

The cost is thus 1,800 * $1.50 = $2,700

Jessica calculated the missing side length of one of these triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem. Which triangle was it?

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find a missing length of a triangle using a Pythagorean theorem if and only the triangle is a right angled triangle.

The side of the missing length is:

a^+b^=c^

2^+4^=c^

4+16=c^

20=c^

$\sqrt{20} = c ^{2} \\ 4 \sqrt{5} = c$
