A 1 = 13, d = 3;
S n = n/2 * ( a 1 + a n )
a 7 = a 1 + 6 d = 13 + 3 * 6 = 13 + 18 = 31
S 7 = 7/2 * ( 13 + 31 ) = 7/2 * 44 = 154

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of an AP is $a_1=13$ .

The common difference of AP is 3.

The sum of nth term of an AP is

$S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]$

Where, a is first term and d is common difference.

We have to find S₇.

$S_7=\frac{7}{2}[2(13)+(7-1)3]$

$S_7=\frac{7}{2}[26+18]$

$S_7=\frac{7}{2}(44)$

$S_7=7\times 22$

$S_7=154$

Therefore the correct option is D.

Suppose that 50% of all young adults prefer McDonald's to Burger King when asked to state a preference. A group of 12 young adul

ddd [48]

Answer:

a) 0.194 = 19.4% probability that more than 7 preferred McDonald's

b) 0.787 = 78.7% probability that between 3 and 7 (inclusive) preferred McDonald's

c) 0.787 = 78.7% probability that between 3 and 7 (inclusive) preferred Burger King

Step-by-step explanation:

For each young adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they prefer McDonalds, or they prefer burger king. The probability of an adult prefering McDonalds is independent from other adults. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

50% of all young adults prefer McDonald's to Burger King when asked to state a preference.

This means that $p = 0.5$

12 young adults were randomly selected

This means that $n = 12$

(a) What is the probability that more than 7 preferred McDonald's?

$P(X > 7) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 8) = C_{12,8}.(0.5)^{8}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.121$

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.5)^{9}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.054$

$P(X = 10) = C_{12,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.016$

$P(X = 11) = C_{12,11}.(0.5)^{11}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.003$

$P(X = 12) = C_{12,12}.(0.5)^{12}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.000$

$P(X > 7) = P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) = 0.121 + 0.054 + 0.016 + 0.003 + 0.000 = 0.194$

0.194 = 19.4% probability that more than 7 preferred McDonald's

(b) What is the probability that between 3 and 7 (inclusive) preferred McDonald's?

$P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 3) = C_{12,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{9} = 0.054$

$P(X = 4) = C_{12,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{8} = 0.121$

$P(X = 5) = C_{12,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{7} = 0.193$

$P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.5)^{6}.(0.5)^{6} = 0.226$

$P(X = 7) = C_{12,7}.(0.5)^{7}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.193$

$P(3 \leq X \leq 7) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) = 0.054 + 0.121 + 0.193 + 0.226 + 0.193 = 0.787$

0.787 = 78.7% probability that between 3 and 7 (inclusive) preferred McDonald's

(c) What is the probability that between 3 and 7 (inclusive) preferred Burger King?

Since $p = 1-p = 0.5$ , this is the same as b) above.

0.787 = 78.7% probability that between 3 and 7 (inclusive) preferred Burger King

frutty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary bought 1 fish, Ari bought 20 fish, Rodney bought 4 fish, Carissa bought 3 fish, Jacob bought 4 fish, Jack bought 1 fish, Jaleesa bought 2 fish, Andrea bought 5 fish, Geoff bought 1 fish, Becky bought 4 fish, Molly bought 1 fish, David bought 2 fish, Gina bought 7 fish, James bought 1 fish, Anessa bought 2 fish, Ted bought 1 fish, Sean bought 2 fish, Kerri bought 11 fish, Sammy bought 3 fish, Jameson bought 2 fish, Theresa bought 2 fish, Luz bought 2 fish, Tracy bought 4 fish, Jackson bought 5 fish, and Celia bought 7 fish.

Rewrite the numbers

1,20,4,3,4,1,2,5,1,4,1,2,7,1,2,1,2,11,3,2,2,2,4,5,7

a: I can't draw a line plot, but I can tell you some tips.

Set the x as the different numbers that appear in the set

Set the y as the frequency of each number.

b: 2 fish has the highest frequency.

c: Add the terms. 97 is the total fish been bought

d: The outlier is 20 bought fish

a: When making the stem and leaf plot, do it in this format

1| 7,4,3,5,8,4

and so on.

b: the heaviest puppy is 25 and the lightest is 13

so the range is 12

c: 4 puppies weighed at least 20 pounds

3. There are no following values, but for this I would make a box and whisker plot.

4. There is no histogram but it should be relatively easy if you know which aspect of the graph to use.

a: Find the frequency of each bar and add them.

b: the largest number of boxes is the interval that is the largest

c: Use the graph to find it

d: I can't do this without the graph.

What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box. x =

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle

x² + 12² = 13²

x² + 144 = 169 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

x² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{25}$ = 5

16 and 1/3 reciprocal

jok3333 [9.3K]

Whether you have to combine the two numbers together will be decided by you.

16’s reciprocal would be 0.0625

1/3’s reciprocal would be -3

Hope this helps and hope I am doing this right.
