The answer is the first option.
VII means 7. VIII means 8. IX means 9. Each are a number from the Roman Numerals.
2x - 1 = 9 - 14x
16x - 1= 9
16x = 10
x = 10/16
x= 5/8 is the answer
Answer:
The number of rainfalls is 
The answer to the second question is no it will not be valid this because from the question we are told that the experiment require one pH reading per rainfall so getting multiply specimens(used for the pH reading) from one rainfall will make the experiment invalid.
Step-by-step explanation:
from the question we are told that
The standard deviation is 
The margin of error is 
Given that the confidence level is 95% then we can evaluate the level of significance as



Next we will obtain the critical value of
from the normal distribution table , the value is 
Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as
![n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \sigma }}{ E} ]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n%20%20%3D%20%20%5B%5Cfrac%7BZ_%7B%5Cfrac%7B%5Calpha%20%7D%7B2%7D%20%2A%20%20%5Csigma%20%7D%7D%7B%20E%7D%20%5D%5E2)
substituting values
![n = [\frac{1.96 * 0.5 }{ 0.1} ]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=n%20%20%3D%20%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1.96%20%2A%200.5%20%7D%7B%200.1%7D%20%5D%5E2)

The answer to the second question is no the validity is null this because from the question we are told that the experiment require one pH reading per rainfall so getting multiply specimens(used for the pH reading) from one rainfall will make the experiment invalid
Answer:
Doesn't look like a geometric sequence.
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1, -4, 16 keeps repeating then the answer is 16.
