A partial sum of an arithmetic sequence is given. Find the sum.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

72.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The arithmetic sequence:

\sum \limits ^{14}_{k=0} (3 + 0.26k)

The first term of the sequence a_0 = 3 since k = 0

i.e (3 + 0.26(0)) = 3

The last term of the sequence a_{14} = 6.64

i.e (3+ 0.26(14)

= (3 + 3.64)

= 6.64

Total no of terms = 15 i.e from 0 to 14

∴

The partial sum of the arithmetic sequence = \dfrac{Total \ no \ of \ terms }{2}  \times (a_o+a_{15})}

=\dfrac{15 }{2}  \times (3+6.64)}

= 72.3

Georgianna claims that in a small city renowned for its music school, the average child takes at least 5 years of piano lessons.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The  condition  are

           The  Null hypothesis is  H_o  :  \mu = 5

           The  Alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  \mu <  5

The  check revealed that

             There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that in a small city renowned for its music school, the average child takes at least 5 years of piano lessons

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  population mean is  \mu =  5 \ year

      The sample size is  n =  20

      The sample mean is  \=  x  =  4.6 \  years

       The  standard deviation is \sigma  =  2.2  \ years

   The  Null hypothesis is  H_o  :  \mu = 5

   The  Alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  \mu <  5

So i will be making use of  \alpha =  0.05 level of significance to test this claim

    The critical value of  \alpha from the normal distribution table is  Z_\alpha  =  1.645

 

Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as

                 t =  \frac{\= x  - \mu}{ \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }

substituting values

                 t =  \frac{ 4.6  - 5}{ \frac{2.2}{\sqrt{20} } }

                t =  -0.8131

Looking at the value of  t and Z_{\alpha } we see that  t <  Z_{\alpha } so we fail to reject the null hypothesis  

  This implies that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that in a small city renowned for its music school, the average child takes at least 5 years of piano lessons.

Recall that two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90 degrees°. find the measures of two complementary ang
Julli [10]
Let x represent the smaller angle. Then the larger one is 20+4x. Since they are complementary, their sum is 90. (All measures are degrees.)

90 = x + (20+4x)
90 = 5x +20
70 = 5x
14 = x

The smaller angle is 14°.
The larger angle is 76°.
