<span>Data:

infinite geometric series

A1 = 880

r = 1 / 4

The sum of a geometric series  in sigma notation is:

  n              1 - r^n
 ∑ Ai = A ----------- ; where A = A1
i = 1             1-r

 When | r | < 1 the infinite sum exists and is equal to</span><span><span>:

  ∞               A
 ∑ Ai =   ---------- ; where A = A1
i = 1          1 - r</span>

So, in this case</span><span><span>:

  ∞               880
 ∑ Ai =    -------------- = 4 * 880 / 3 = 3520 /3 = 1173 + 1/3
i = 1         1 - (1/4)</span>  </span>

Answer: 1173 and 1/3

A study investigated the effectiveness of meditation training in reducing trait anxiety. The study evaluated subjects trait anxi
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean reduction in anxiety was (1.2, 8.6).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 27 - 1 = 26

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 2.7787.

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.7787\frac{6.9}{\sqrt{27}} = 3.7

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.9 - 3.7 = 1.2.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.9 + 3.7 = 8.6.

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean reduction in anxiety was (1.2, 8.6).

Which composition of transformations maps figure EFGH to figure E"F"G"H"?
Lady bird [3.3K]

The transformations would map EFGH to {\text{E''F''G''H''}} is a reflection across line k followed by a translation down. Option (a) is correct.

Further explanation:

Given:

The compositions of transformations from EFGH to {\text{E''F''G''H''}} are as follows,

(a). A reflection across line k followed by a translation down.

(b). A translation down followed by a reflection across line k.

(c). A {180^ \circ } rotation about point G followed by a translation to the right.

(d). A translation to the right followed by a {180^ \circ } rotation about point G.

Explanation:

Translation can be defined as to move the function to a certain displacement. If the points of a line or any objects are moved in the same direction it is a translation.

Rotation is defined as a movement around its own axis. A circular movement is a rotation.

The transformations would map EFGH to {\text{E''F''G''H''}} is a reflection across line k followed by a translation down. Option (a) is correct.

Option (a) is correct.

Option (b) is not correct.

Option (c) is not correct.

Option (d) is not correct.

1. In a 30-60-90 triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 6. What is the length of the shortest
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

b. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the short side is ½ the hypotenuse [the long side is double the short side].

30°-60°-90° Triangles

x√3 → long side

x → short side

2x → hypotenuse

45°-45°-90° Triangles

x → two legs

x√2 → hypotenuse
