Common ratio is -2

next 3 terms :
32 * -2 = -64
-64 * -2 = 128

Suppose that a recent article stated that the mean time spent in jail by a first-time convicted burglar is 2.5 years. A study wa

4vir4ik [10]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that since the <u>test statistic is greater than the critical value</u>, it can be concluded that the mean length of jail time has increased.

At the null hypothesis, it is <u>tested if the mean length of jail time is still of 2.5 years</u>, that is:

$H_0: \mu = 2.5$

At the alternative hypothesis, it is <u>tested if it has increased</u>, that is:

$H_1: \mu > 2.5$

We have the <u>standard deviation for the population</u>, thus, the z-distribution is used. The test statistic is given by:

$z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

The parameters are:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.
$\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
$\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the sample.
n is the sample size.

For this problem, the values of the <u>parameters</u> are: $\overline{x} = 3, \mu = 2.5, \sigma = 1.5, n = 26$

Hence, the value of the <u>test statistic</u> is:

$z = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{3 - 2.5}{\frac{1.5}{\sqrt{26}}}$

$z = 1.7$

The critical value for a <u>right-tailed test</u>, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a <u>significance level of 0.05</u>, is of $z^{\ast} = 1.645$

Since the <u>test statistic is greater than the critical value</u>, it can be concluded that the mean length of jail time has increased.

Your averages and values are the following:

ioda

Answer: You need a grade of 78 on the final exam to earn a final grade average of at least 87 in each grading system.

Step-by-step explanation:

(85 + 90 + 95 + x)÷ 4 =87

Simplify:

(270 + x) ÷ 4 = 87

Rearrange:

(x + 270) ÷ 4 = 87

Multiply terms to Reduce:

4((x + 270) ÷ 4) = 4 * 87

Cancel Multiplied terms in Denominator:

x + 270 = 4 * 87

Multiply:

x + 270 = 348

Subtract 270 on both sides of the equation:

x + 270 - 270 = 348 - 270

Simplify:

x = 78
