Answer:

740

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic series is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₃ = 7 and a₇ = (3 × 7) + 2 = 21 + 2 = 23 , then

a₁ + 2d = 7 → (1)

a₁ + 6d = 23 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term

4d = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

d = 4

Substitute d = 4 into (1)

a₁ + 2(4) = 7

a₁ + 8 = 7 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

a₁ = - 1

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic series is

$S_{n}$ = $\frac{n}{2}$ [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ] , thus

$S_{20}$ = $\frac{20}{2}$ [ (2 × - 1) + (19 × 4) ]

= 10(- 2 + 76) = 10 × 74 = 740

Answer:

Standard error of the mean parameter the average content of colognes

S.E = 0.02 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Size of random sample 'n' = 121 bottles

mean of the sample $x^{-} = 4$ ounces

Standard deviation of Population

σ = 0.22

Standard error of the mean parameter the average content of colognes

$S.E = \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} }$

$S.E = \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } = \frac{0.22}{\sqrt{121} }$

S.E = 0.02

Final answer:-

Standard error of the mean parameter the average content of colognes

S.E = 0.02 ounces

Answer:

3.25 cm is the answer to $3\frac{1}{4}$ of a cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$3\frac{1}{4}$ of a cm.

Solution:

Type I:

First we will see what is $\frac{1}{4}$

$3\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

i.e $\frac{1}{4}$ And 0.25 is SAME.

Now,

$3\frac{1}{4}= 3\ and\ 0.25=3+0.25=3.25\ cm$

Type II:

$3\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4\times 3 + 1}{4}\\3\frac{1}{4}\\=\frac{12+1}{4}\\=\frac{13}{4}\\=3.25\ cm$

Consider the two triangles shown. Which of the triangle congruence theorems could be used to prove the triangles congruent witho

Georgia [21]

Answer: AAS

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangles, there are two angles such as $84^{\circ}$ and $39^{\circ}$ and one non included side as 16 cm of both triangles are equal or congruent.

Thus, by AAS postulate of congruence both the triangles are congruent without establishing any additional information.

The AAS postulate says that if two angles and the non-included side one triangle are congruent to two angles and the non-included side of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.
