The sum of the first four composite numbers is 27. ( 4+6+8=9)

The first four are 4+6+8=9
so the answer will be 27

Suppose a baker claims that his bread height is more than 15 cm, on average. Several of his

Since the p-value is approximately equal to zero (0), we can conclude that there is sufficient evidence that the true mean height for the baker's loaves of bread is greater than (>) 15 cm.
Since 2.37 is greater than (>) 1.645, we reject the null hypothesis (H₀) at 5% level of significance. Therefore, we can conclude that the company’s claims are invalid.

<h3>What is a null hypothesis?</h3>

A null hypothesis (H₀) can be defined the opposite of an alternate hypothesis (H₁) and it asserts that two (2) possibilities are the same.

For the baker's claim, the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses would be given by:

H₀: μ ≤ 15

H₁: μ > 15

Since the standard deviation for the height is given, the population would have a normal distribution, and the population standard deviation is given by:

Population standard deviation = σ/√n

Population standard deviation = 0.5/√10

Population standard deviation = 0.16.

For the p-value, we have:

The p-value is the probability that a sample mean would be the same or greater than (≥) 17 cm. Thus, the p-value is given by:

p-value = P(x > 17) ≈ 0.

Since the p-value is approximately equal to zero (0), we can conclude that there is sufficient evidence that the true mean height for the baker's loaves of bread is greater than (>) 15 cm.

Question 3.

For the oil company's claim, the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses would be given by:

H₀: μ = 0.15

H₁: μ > 0.15

<h3>How to calculate value of the z-score?</h3>

The z-score can be calculated by using this formula:

$z=\frac{x\;-\;u}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$

<u>Where:</u>

x is the sample mean.

u is the mean.

is the standard deviation.

n is the number of boys.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$z=\frac{0.162\;-\;0.15}{\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{40} } }\\\\z=\frac{0.012}{\frac{0.4}{6.3246 } }$

z = 0.012/0.0633

z = 0.190.

From the z-table, a z-score of 0.190 is equal to a p-value of 2.37.

For the critical value, we have:

Critical probability (p*) = 1 - α/2

Critical probability (p*) = 1 - 0.1/2

Critical probability (p*) = 0.95.

Hence, the critical value is Zα/2 equal to 1.645.

Since 2.37 is greater than (>) 1.645, we reject the null hypothesis (H₀) at 5% level of significance. Therefore, we can conclude that the company’s claims are invalid.

Answer:

My best guess would be B and C since those are the only numbers that aren't multiples of 5, and all the values of a(n) are.

What is the solution to the following system?

leva [86]

Answer:

(4,3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this via matrices, so the equations given can be written in matrix form as:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}3&2&1&20\\1&-4&-1&-10\\2&1&2&15\end{array}\right]$

Now I will shift rows to make my pivot point (top left) a 1 and so:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\2&1&2&15\\3&2&1&20\end{array}\right]$

Next I will come up with algorithms that can cancel out numbers where R1 means row 1, R2 means row 2 and R3 means row three therefore,

-2R1+R2=R2 , -3R1+R3=R3

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\0&9&4&35\\0&14&4&50\end{array}\right]$

$\frac{R_2}{9}=R_2$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&-4&-1&-10\\0&1&\frac{4}{9}&\frac{35}{9}\\0&14&4&50\end{array}\right]$

4R2+R1=R1 , -14R2+R3=R3

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&\frac{7}{9}&\frac{50}{9}\\0&1&\frac{4}{9}&\frac{35}{9}\\0&0&-\frac{20}{9}&-\frac{40}{9}\end{array}\right]$

$-\frac{9}{20}R_3=R_3$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&\frac{7}{9}&\frac{50}{9}\\0&1&\frac{4}{9}&\frac{35}{9}\\0&0&1&2\end{array}\right]$

$-\frac{4}{9}R_3+R_2=R2$ , $-\frac{7}{9}R_3+R_1=R_1$

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&0&0&4\\0&1&0&3\\0&0&1&2\end{array}\right]$

Therefore the solution to the system of equations are (x,y,z) = (4,3,2)

Note: If answer choices are given, plug them in and see if you get what is "equal to". Meaning plug in 4 for x, 3 for y and 2 for z in the first equation and you should get 20, second equation -10 and third 15.
