Solve for x. x + 1 = 2 Ox= 1/4 O x= 1/2 O x = -1/2 0 x = -1/4

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

{8, 24, 72, 216, 648}

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient of consecutive terms is always the same, that is, each term is the previous term multiplied by the common ratio.

In this question:

First element is 8, common ratio of 3. So

Second term: 8*3 = 24

Third term: 24*3 = 72

Fourth term: 72*3 = 216

Fifth term: 216*3 = 648

So the answer is {8, 24, 72, 216, 648}

A recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recent study showed that the length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials is normally distributed with a mean equal to 12.56 hours with a standard deviation of 6.7 hours.

Let X = length of time that juries deliberate on a verdict for civil trials

So, X ~ N( $\mu = 12.56, \sigma^{2} = 6.7^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = mean time = 12.56 hours

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 6.7 hours

So, Probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is given by = P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = P(X < 15) - P(X $\leq$ 12)

P(X < 15) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{15-12.56}{6.7}$ ) = P(Z < 0.36) = 0.64058

P(X $\leq$ 12) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{12-12.56}{6.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.08) = 1 - P(Z < 0.08)

= 1 - 0.53188 = 0.46812

Therefore, P(12 hours < X < 15 hours) = 0.64058 - 0.46812 = 0.1725

Hence, probability that deliberation will last between 12 and 15 hours is 0.1725.

Explain why 3/4 of 16 is the same as 3 x 16 divided by 4 Please Help

pogonyaev

Answer:

I know that 3/4 is 75%, and I also know that 3 times 16 is 48. Since I divide 48 by 4, it is the same as multiplying 4 by 3, knowing that it is 25% of 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3/4 is a fraction, all fractions can be converted into decimals.

3/4 is also known as 75%, which can be simplified into 0.75 in decimal terms.

Now that you know that 3/4 can be simplified to 0.75, you now need to take that 0.75, and multiply it by 16. You can use a calculator to do this, or you could work it out on a sheet of paper.

An easy way to do this, is to know that 25%, (0.25) of 16 is 4. This is because 4 times 4 is 16. Knowing this, if you are looking for 75% of 16, (0.75) you can multiply 4 by 3, knowing that it is 75% of 16.

The answer to that is 12.

3 x 16 = 48 and if you take 48 and divide it by 4, you will get 12.

You can explain this by writing; I know that 3/4 is 75%, and I also know that 3 times 16 is 48. Since I divide 48 by 4, it is the same as multiplying 4 by 3, knowing that it is 25% of 16.
