Given:

Set A: 1 4 4 4 5 5 5 8

Mean: 4.5

Standard dev: 1.9

 

Set B:

Mean: 4.5

Standard dev: 2.45

 

% =  90 

Set A:

Standard Error, SE = s/ √n =    1.9/√8 = 0.67  

Degrees of freedom = n - 1 =   8 -1 =  7   

t- score =  1.89457861

<span> <span><span> <span>   </span> </span> </span></span>

Width of the confidence interval = t * SE =     1.89457861* 0.67 = 1.272685913

Lower Limit of the confidence interval = x-bar - width =      4.5 - 1.272685913 = 3.23

Upper Limit of the confidence interval = x-bar + width =      4.5 + 1.272685913 = 5.77

The 90% confidence interval is [3.23, 5.77]

 

Set B:

Standard Error, SE = s/ √n =    2.45/√8 = 0.87  

Degrees of freedom = n - 1 =   8 -1 = 7   

t- Score =  1.89457861

<span> <span><span> <span>   </span> </span> </span></span>

Width of the confidence interval = t * SE =     1.89457861* 0.87 = 1.641094994

Lower Limit of the confidence interval = x-bar - width =      4.5 - 1.641094994 = 2.86

Upper Limit of the confidence interval = x-bar + width =      4.5 + 1.641094994 = 6.14

The 90% confidence interval is [2.86, 6.14]

 

<span>We can obviously see that sample B has more variation in the scores than sample A. The fact that the standard deviation is 2.45 for B and 1.9 for A). Therefore, they yield dissimilar confidence intervals even though they have the same mean and range.</span>

\A and \B are supplementary angles. If m\A= (3x – 23) and m
mrs_skeptik [129]

2 supplementary angles when added together need to equal 180 degrees.

Add:

3x-23 + 2x-12 = 180

Simplify:

5x -35 = 180

Add 35 to both sides:

5x = 215

Divide both sides by 5:

X = 43

Now replace x with 43 in the equation for angle b:

2(43) -12 = 86-12 = 74 degrees

Angle B = 74 degrees

What term is 1/1024 in the geometric sequence,-1,1/4,-1/6..?
Trava [24]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\text{sixth term is equal to}\ \dfrac{1}{1024}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence:

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

a_n - n-th term

a_1 - first term

r - common ratio

r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=...=\dfrac{a_n}{a_{n-1}}

We have

a_1=-1,\ a_2=\dfrac{1}{4},\ a_3=-\dfrac{1}{6},\ ...

The common ratio:

r=\dfrac{\frac{1}{4}}{-1}=-\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\r=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{4}}=-\dfrac{1}{6}\cdot\dfrac{4}{1}=-\dfrac{2}{3}\neq-\dfrac{1}{4}

<h2>It's not a geometric sequence.</h2>

If a_3=-\dfrac{1}{16} then the common ratio is r=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{16}}{\frac{1}{4}}=-\dfrac{1}{16}\cdot\dfrac{4}{1}=-\dfrac{1}{4}

Put to the explicit formula:

a_n=-1\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}

Put a_n=\dfrac{1}{1024} and solve for <em>n </em>:

-1\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}=\dfrac{1}{1024}\qquad\text{use}\ a^n:a^m=a^{n-m}\\\\-\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n:\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^1=\dfrac{1}{1024}\\\\-\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n\cdot(-4)=\dfrac{1}{1024}\\\\(4)\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n=\dfrac{1}{1024}\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\ \text{/multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{1}{4}/\\\\\left(-\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^n=\dfrac{1}{4096}\\\\\dfrac{(-1)^n}{4^n}=\dfrac{1}{4^6}\qquad n\ \text{must be even number. Therefore}\ (-1)^n=1

\dfrac{1}{4^n}=\dfrac{1}{4^6}\iff n=6

How does this work?????
ankoles [38]

Answer:

x = 4\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right, solve for x using Pythagoras' identity, that is

x² = 8² + 4² = 64 + 16 = 80

Take the square root of both sides

x = \sqrt{80} = \sqrt{16(5)} = \sqrt{16} × \sqrt{5} = 4\sqrt{5} ← exact value
