Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many gallons the van needs to travel 550 miles you should multiply the number of miles by the relationship between the number of gallons of gas it needs to travel 220 miles, (it is important to put the quantity in miles on the denominator) as follows:

$550miles*\frac{10gallons}{220miles}=25$

Therefore the van needs 25 gallons of gas to travel 550 miles

The van will need 25 gallons of gas for it to travel 550 miles. This is calculated by dividing 10 gallons to 220 miles to get the miles per gallons, which in this case is 22 miles per gallon. Then we have to divide 550 miles by 22 miles per gallon to get the total gas consumption, which is 25 gallons.

The distribution of the test statistic for analysis of variance is the F-distribution. true or false

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

True. See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) "is used to analyze the differences among group means in a sample".

The sum of squares "is the sum of the square of variation, where variation is defined as the spread between each individual value and the grand mean"

If we assume that we have $k$ groups and on each group from $j=1,\dots,k$ we have $k$ individuals on each group we can define the following formulas of variation:

$SS_{total}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x)^2$

$SS_{between=Treatment}=SS_{model}=\sum_{j=1}^p n_j (\bar x_{j}-\bar x)^2$

$SS_{within}=SS_{error}=\sum_{j=1}^p \sum_{i=1}^{n_j} (x_{ij}-\bar x_j)^2$

And we have this property

$SST=SS_{between}+SS_{within}$

The degrees of freedom for the numerator on this case is given by $df_{num}=k-1$ where k represent the number of groups.

The degrees of freedom for the denominator on this case is given by $df_{den}=df_{between}=N-k$ .

And the total degrees of freedom would be $df=N-1$

And the we can find the F statistic $F=\frac{MSR}{MSE}$

Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. 1 - 3 + 9 - 27 + ...

meriva

There is no sum for this geometric series. it diverges rather than converges due to the absolute value of the common ratio (r), which is -3, being 3. for a geometric series to have a sum (to converge), the absolute value of r must be less than 1.
(you find r by dividing a2/a1, a3/a2, etc.)

6.6666 rounded to the nearest thousandth is 6.667.
The number in the ten thousandths place is greater than five, so the 6 in the thousandths place rounds up to a seven

A person purchased a leather jacket that was marked down by 40%. if the sale price of the jacket was $101.79, what was its origi

Rama09 [41]

The original price was $142.50. What I did was that I added 40% with $101.79 which was the sales price. With the 40% the person saved $40.71.

Hope this helps : )*****
