HELP!!! Which of the following sequences has a common ratio?

Bridget was thinking of a number. Bridget doubles it, then adds 15 to get an answer of 16.4. What was the original number?

How far apart in feet are Marcus and Joel. Please round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot

Pavel [41]

Answer:

The distance between Marcus and Joel is approximately 127.3 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances between Jean to Joel, Jean to Marcus and Marcus to Joel form a right triangle where the distance from Marcus to Joel is the hypothenuse. We can measure the distance from Jean to Marcus and Jean to Joel by using the grid provided, since they're along the same axis. This is shown below:

d(Jean, Marcus) = Jean(x) - Marcus(x) = 100 - 10 = 90 feet

d(Jean, Joel) = Jean(y) - Joel(y) = 90 - 0 = 90 feet

We can apply the pythagora's theorem to find the distance between Marcus and Joel.

d(Marcus,Joel)² = d(Jean,Marcus)² + d(Jean,Joel)²

d(Marcus,Joel)² = (90)² + (90)²

d(Marcus,Joel)² = 2*(90)²

d(Marcus, Joel) = sqrt(2*(90)²) = 90*sqrt(2) = 127.279 feet

The distance between Marcus and Joel is approximately 127.3 feet.

According to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, 331 of 502 randomly selected U.S. adults interviewed said they would not be bother

k0ka [10]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.659 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{502}}}=7.124$

$p_v =P(z>7.124)=5.24x10^{-13}$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=502 represent the random sample taken

X=331 represent the adults that said they would not be bothered if the NAtional security agency

$\hat p=\frac{331}{502}=0.659$ estimated proportion of people who would not be bothered if the NAtional security agency

$p_o=0.5$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level

Confidence=99% or 0.99

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is higher than the majority of 0.5:

Null hypothesis: $p\leq 0.5$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.5$

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.659 -0.5}{\sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{502}}}=7.124$

Statistical decision

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.01$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(z>7.124)=5.24x10^{-13}$

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we have $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of interest is significantly higher than 0.5.
