Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference is found by subtracting the second term from a previous term

So...

3-7 would give the common difference = -4

-1-3 would give the common difference= -4

-5-1 would give the common difference= -4

The surface area formula for any sphere is 4(pi)(radius)^2

The radius is half of the diameter.

18.6 / 2 = 9.3

So, plug into the formula and solve.

4(3.14)(9.3)^2 = 1086.3 mm^2

A horse takes 3 steps to walk the same distance for which a goat takes 4 steps. Suppose 1 step of the dog covers 1/2 of a metre.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The goat would cover 9 meters in taking 24 steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a mistake in the question so the correct question is below:

A horse takes 3 steps to walk the same distance for which a goat takes 4 steps. Suppose 1 step of the horse covers 1/2 of a metre. How many metres would the goat cover in taking 24 steps?

Now, to find the meters goat cover in taking 24 steps.

As 1 step of horse covers = $\frac{1}{2} \ meter.$

So, 3 step of horse covers = $\frac{1}{2} \times 3$ $=\frac{3}{2} =1.5\ meters.$

Thus, 3 steps of horse covers = 1.5 meters.

As given, the horse takes 3 steps to walk the same distance for which a goat takes 4 steps.

So, the distance covers by goat in 4 steps = 1.5 meters.

Now, to get the meters goat cover in taking 24 steps by using unitary method:

If, the distance cover by the goat in 4 steps = 1.5 meters

So, the distance cover by the goat in 1 step = $\frac{1.5}{4}$

Thus, the distance cover by the goat in 24 steps = $\frac{1.5}{4}\times 24$

= $\frac{36}{3}$

= $9\ meters.$

Therefore, the goat would cover 9 meters in taking 24 steps.

Several years ago, 39% of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students r

BaLLatris [955]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let p be the population proportion of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive.

Given : Several years ago, 39% of parents who had children in grades K-12 were satisfied with the quality of education the students receive.

Set hypothesis to test :

$H_0: p=0.39\\\\H_a :p\neq0.39$

Sample size : n= 1055

Sample proportion : $\hat{p}=\dfrac{466}{1055}=0.441706161137\approx0.44$

Critical value for 95% confidence : $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

Confidence interval : $\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

$0.44\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.39(1-0.39)}{1055}}\\\\0.44\pm0.0299536805135\\\\0.44\pm0.03\\\\=(0.44-0.03, 0.44+0.03)\\\\=(0.41,\ 0.47)$

Since , Confidence interval does not contain 0.39.

It means we reject the null hypothesis.

We conclude that 95% confidence interval represents evidence that parents' attitudes toward the quality of education have changed.
