Answer:

This sounds like a classic case of a homophone!

A homophone refers to the figurative speech which occurs when two words are spelled the same and they sound the same, but they have different meanings!

Hope this helped!

Answer: (assuming the first three terms are -6, -2, 2)

(a) f(n) = 4n - 10

(b) 30

Step-by-step explanation:

(So, just as a preface, I made this answer assuming the first three terms are -6, -2, and 2 since I couldn't find a provided fourth term as the problem said)

(a) In order to create an equation for an arithmetic sequence, you need to find the common difference(d) and the 0th term. You can find the common difference by finding the difference between two consecutive terms:

2 - (-2) = 4 (or (-2) - (-6) = 4), so d = 4

Now, you need to find the 0th term. To do this, you can just subtract the d from the first term, -6:

-6 - 4 = -10.

At this point, you can write the equation:

f(n) = -10 + 4n (this is the 0th term plus the common difference, 4, times the nth term)

f(n) = 4n - 10 (reorganize by value of exponents)

(b) In order to find the 10th term, you just need to plug it into the previous equation:

where n = 10, and f(n) = 4n - 10,

f(n) = 4(10) - 10 (substitute n into the equation)

f(n) = 40 - 10 (multiply the term in the parenthesis by the constant)

f(n) = 30 (subtract)

Claim: Most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could.A software firm survey of 453 randomly sel

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is 4.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case a hypothesis test is performed to determine whether most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could.

A random sample of n = 453 adults were selected and it was found that 60% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could.

Assume that the population proportion is, p = 0.50.

A z-test for single proportion would to used to perform the test.

Compute the value of the test statistic as follows:

$z=\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}}$

$=\frac{0.60-0.50}{\sqrt{\frac{0.50(1-0.50)}{453}}}\\\\=\frac{0.10}{0.0235}\\\\=4.25532\\\\\approx 4.26$

Thus, the value of the test statistic is 4.26.
