In mathematics, a percentage (from Latin per centum "by a hundred") is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100. It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%", or the abbreviations "pct.", "pct"; sometimes the abbreviation "pc" is also used. A percentage is a dimensionless number (pure number).

Can someone help me and explain step by step

Answer: 5) r = 5, 8th term = -78,125

6) r = 5, 8th term = -312,500

7) r = 5, {1, 5, 25, 125, 625}

8) r = 5, {-4, -20, -100, -500, -2500}

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is: $a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$ , where;

n is the number of the term
a₁ is the first term
r is the common ratio

$5)\ a_n=-5^{n-1}\\.\qquad =-1\cdot 5^{n-1}\quad \rightarrow \quad a_1=-1\ and\ r=5\\\\a_8=-5^{8-1}\\.\quad =-5^7\\.\quad =-78,125\\\\\\6)\ a_n=-4\cdot 5^{n-1}\quad \rightarrow \quad a_1=-4\ and\ r=5\\\\a_8=-4\cdot 5^{8-1}\\.\quad =-4\cdot 78,125\\.\quad =-312,500$

$7)\ a_1=1\ and\ r=5\\.\quad a_2=1\cdot 5=\boxed{5}\\.\quad a_3=5\cdot 5=\boxed{25}\\.\quad a_4=25\cdot 5=\boxed{125}\\.\quad a_5=125\cdot 5=\boxed{625}\\\\\\\\8)\ a_1=-4\ and\ r=5\\.\quad a_2=-4\cdot 5=\boxed{-20}\\.\quad a_3=-20\cdot 5=\boxed{-100}\\.\quad a_4=-100\cdot 5=\boxed{-500}\\.\quad a_5=-500\cdot 5=\boxed{-2500}\\\\\\$

A barrel of crude oil contains about 5.61 cubic feet of oil. How many barrels of oil contained in 1 mile (5280 feet) of a pipeli

8_murik_8 [283]

1)volume of the pipeline

The pipeline is a cylinder, therefore;
Volume (cylinder)=πr²h
r=radius
h=height of the cylinder

diameter=6 in*(1 ft / 12 in)=0.5 ft
raius=diameter / 2=0.5 ft / 2=0.25 ft.
height=5280 ft

Volume (pipeline)=π(0.25 ft)²(5280 ft)=330π ft³≈1036.73 ft³.

2) we calculate the number of barrel
1 mile of oil in this pipeline is 330π ft³ of oil.

1 barrel of crude------------------5.61 ft³
x----------------------------------330π ft³

x=(1 barrel*330π ft³) / 5.61 ft³=184.8 barrels

3) we calculate the price.

1 barrel---------------$100
184.8 barrels---------- x

x=(184.8 barrels * $100) / 1 barrel=$18,480

Solution: ≈$18,480

A recent national survey indicated that 73 percent of respondents try to include locally grown foods in their diets. A 95 percen

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Correct option is:

"Less than 75% of all people in the country try to include locally grown foods in their diets."

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis for the proportion of people who include locally grown foods in their diets can be defined as:

H₀: The proportion of people who include locally grown foods in their diets is p.

Hₐ: The proportion of people who include locally grown foods in their diets is difference from p.

The decision rule can be based on the 95% confidence interval.

If the confidence interval consists the hypothetical value of the true proportion then the null hypothesis will be accepted or else the null hypothesis will be rejected.

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all people in the country who try to include locally grown foods in their diets is given as (0.70, 0.76).

This interval implies that there is 0.95 probability that the true proportion of people who include locally grown foods in their diets is between 70% and 76%.

Assuming that the claim made was supported by the 95% confidence interval.

The claim should be:

Less than 75% of all people in the country try to include locally grown foods in their diets.

Because the 95% confidence interval defines the range of the true proportion as 70% to 76%. Most of the values are below 75%.

Thus, the correct option is:

"Less than 75% of all people in the country try to include locally grown foods in their diets."
