Answer:

  • aₙ = 2n² + n + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that the difference of terms is 4, 7 and 15 and next level difference is 4. It means the sequence is quadratic.

<u>We can compare this with simple quadratic sequence </u>

  • 1, 4, 9, 16

<u>and find out that doubling each term gives us </u>

  • 2, 8, 18, 32

This is close to our sequence, write the terms as follows to find exact rule

<u>The first term: </u>

  • a₁ = 4  = 2*1² + 2 = 2*1² + 1 + 1

<u>The second term</u>

  • a₂ = 11  = 2*2² + 3 = 2*2² + 2 + 1

<u>The third term:</u>

  • a₃ = 22 = 2*3² + 4 = 2*3² + 3 + 1

<u>The fourth term:</u>

  • a₄ = 37 = 2*4² + 5 = 2*4² + 4 + 1

<u>The nth term as per observation above is:</u>

  • aₙ = 2n² + n + 1

The number of "destination weddings" has skyrocketed in recent years. For example, many couples are opting to have their wedding
Andru [333]

Answer:

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that wedding cost is less than $30000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Values (x) ∑(Xi-X)^2

----------------------------------

29.1                    0.1702

28.5                  1.0252

28.8                  0.5077

29.4                   0.0127

29.8                  0.0827

29.8                  0.0827

30.1                   0.3452

30.6                   1.1827

----------------------------------------

236.1                 3.4088

Mean = 236.1 / 8 = 29.51

S_{x}=\sqrt{3.4088/(8-1)}=0.6978

Statement of the null hypothesis:

H0: u ≥ 30 the mean wedding cost is not less than $30,000

H1: u < 30 the mean wedding cost is less than $30,000

Test Statistic:

t=\frac{X-u}{S/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{29.51-30}{0.6978/\sqrt{8}}= \frac{-0.49}{0.2467}=-1.9861

Test criteria:

SIgnificance level = 0.05

Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

Reject null hypothesis (H0) if

t

Finding in the t distribution table α=0.05 with df=7, we have

t_{0.05,7}=2.365

t>-t_{0.05,7} = -1.9861 > -2.365

Result: Fail to reject null hypothesis

Conclusion: Do no reject the null hypothesis

u ≥ 30 the mean wedding cost is not less than $30,000

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that wedding cost is less than $30000.

Hope this helps!

In February, Alec had 1,525 visitors to his website. In March, he had 1,385 visitors to his website. What is the percentage decr
Helga [31]
A proportion box can be used to solve this problem. First, we need to compute the difference or change in the original amount of visitors Alec had (in February) and the new amount of visitors (in March). 

1,525 - 1, 385 = 140

We place this amount (140) in the top left of our box, and we place the original amount (1,525) in the bottom left of our box. We are looking for the percentage decrease, so that box in the upper right will stay empty. The number 100 always goes in the bottom right of our percent proportion box. 

(The attached image will show an example of how to set this up). 

Our last step is to cross multiply and divide. 

140 x 100 = 14,000

14,000 ÷ 1,525 = 9.18

So, the percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March was 9.18%.
