Georgianna claims that in a small city renowned for its music school, the average child takes at least 5 years of piano lessons.

Allisa [31]

Answer:

The condition are

The Null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 5$

The Alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu < 5$

The check revealed that

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that in a small city renowned for its music school, the average child takes at least 5 years of piano lessons

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 5 \ year$

The sample size is n = 20

The sample mean is $\= x = 4.6 \ years$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 2.2 \ years$

The Null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 5$

The Alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu < 5$

So i will be making use of $\alpha = 0.05$ level of significance to test this claim

The critical value of $\alpha$ from the normal distribution table is $Z_\alpha = 1.645$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as

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

substituting values

$t = \frac{ 4.6 - 5}{ \frac{2.2}{\sqrt{20} } }$

$t = -0.8131$

Looking at the value of t and $Z_{\alpha }$ we see that $t < Z_{\alpha }$ so we fail to reject the null hypothesis

This implies that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that in a small city renowned for its music school, the average child takes at least 5 years of piano lessons.

Simplify the polynomial. Then find its value for the given value of the variable.

vekshin1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplified expression:

$3x^3 -x^3 +5x^3-9x^3$

$2x^3 +5x^3-9x^3$

$7x^3 -9x^3$

$-2x^3$

If x = -1, the value of the expression is:

$-2x^3$

$-2(-1^3)$

$-2(-1)$

$2$

Hope this helps!

The sum of first three terms of a finite geometric series is -7/10 and their product is -1/125. [Hint: Use a/r, a, and ar to rep

Alchen [17]

Ooh, fun

geometric sequences can be represented as
$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$
so the first 3 terms are
$a_1=a$
$a_2=a(r)$
$a_2=a(r)^2$

the sum is -7/10
$\frac{-7}{10}=a+ar+ar^2$
and their product is -1/125
$\frac{-1}{125}=(a)(ar)(ar^2)=a^3r^3=(ar)^3$

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{ar}{r}+ar+(ar)r$
subsituting -1/5 for ar
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{\frac{-1}{5}}{r}+\frac{-1}{5}+(\frac{-1}{5})r$
which simplifies to
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{-1}{5r}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-r}{5}$
multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for $ax^2+bx+c=0$
$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2

$r=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(2)}}{2(2)}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-16}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm 3}{4}$
so
$r=\frac{5+3}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2$ or $r=\frac{5-3}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

use them to solve for the value of a
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
$\frac{-1}{5r}=a$
try for r=2 and 1/2
$a=\frac{-1}{10}$ or $a=\frac{-2}{5}$

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-1}{10}+\frac{-2}{10}+\frac{-4}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-2}{5}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-1}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

both have the same terms but one is simplified

the 3 numbers are $\frac{-2}{5}$ , $\frac{-1}{5}$ , and $\frac{-1}{10}$
