Since it is going down a constant rate (-3) keep subtracting 3 until you get to the 30th term.

Hmmm 18, 15, 12?   what's going on?  wait a second, 15 is 18-3, and 12 is 15 -3, so... to get the next number is really just subtracting 3 from the current one, meaning, is an arithmetic sequence, the first term's value is 18, and the common difference is -3.

now, what is the 30th term anyway?

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
a_1=18\\
d=-3\\
n=30
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_n=18+(30-1)(-3)\implies a_{30}=18+(30-1)(-3)
\\\\\\
a_{30}=18-87\implies \boxed{a_{30}=-69}

A random sample of 100 observations from a quantitative population produced a sample mean of 22.8 and a sample standard deviatio
natima [27]

Answer:

We conclude that the population mean is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 24

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 22.8

Sample size, n = 100

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.3

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 24\\H_A: \mu \neq 24

We use Two-tailed z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{22.8 - 24}{\frac{8.3}{\sqrt{100}} } = -1.44

We calculate the p-value with the help of standard z table.

P-value = 0.1498

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we accept the null hypothesis. The population mean is 24.

Now, z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = \pm 1.96

Since,  the z-statistic lies in the acceptance region which is from -1.96 to +1.96, we accept the null hypothesis and conclude that the population mean is 24.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

A set of ordered pairs is called a relation. The set of all first components of the ordered pairs of a relation is the domain of the relation, and the set of all second components of the ordered pairs is the range of the relation. :)

Explain why segments connecting any pair of corresponding vertices of congruent pentagons are congruent. make a sketch to suppor
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Congruence between pentagons

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship occurs because having two congruent Pentagons and generating a segment within them (or outside), congruence is extrapolated to the triangles generated within them. Thus, if there is congruence among the pentagons, it will exist between the formed triangles. In other words since the two pentagons are congruent, the corresponding angle pair is congruent. also the two corresponding side pairs are also congruent.

In the attached image for example, the ABCDE and KLMNO pentagons are congruent, so all of their internal division lines are also congruent (AC and KM)
