Answer:

The p-value of the test is 0.0041 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude that the mean cost has increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average undergraduate cost for tuition, fees, and room and board for two-year institutions last year was $13,252. Test if the mean cost has increased.

At the null hypothesis, we test if the mean cost is still the same, that is:

H_0: \mu = 13252

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the mean cost has increased, that is:

H_1: \mu > 13252

The test statistic is:

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

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis, s is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

13252 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 13252

The following year, a random sample of 20 two-year institutions had a mean of $15,560 and a standard deviation of $3500.

This means that n = 20, X = 15560, s = 3500

Value of the test statistic:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{15560 - 13252}{\frac{3500}{\sqrt{20}}}

t = 2.95

P-value of the test and decision:

The p-value of the test is found using a t-score calculator, with a right-tailed test, with 20-1 = 19 degrees of freedom and t = 2.95. Thus, the p-value of the test is 0.0041.

The p-value of the test is 0.0041 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence at the 0.05 significance level to conclude that the mean cost has increased.

Alexxandr [17]
Sequence: 3/4, 3/16, 3/64, 3/256
a8=?
a1=3/4
a2=3/16
a3=3/64
a4=3/256

a2/a1=(3/16)/(3/4)=(3/16)*(4/3)=4/16=1/4
a3/a2=(3/64)/(3/16)=(3/64)*(16/3)=16/64=1/4
a4/a3=(3/256)/(3/64)=(3/256)*(64/3)=64/256=1/4
a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3=r=1/4

an=a1*r^(n-1)
an=(3/4)*(1/4)^(n-1)
an=(3/4)*(1)^(n-1)/(4)^(n-1)
an=(3/4)*(1/4^(n-1))
an=(3*1)/[4*4^(n-1)]
an=3/4^(1+n-1)
an=3/4^n

n=8→a8=3/4^8
a8=3/65,536

Answers:
The general term or nth term for the sequence is: an=3/4^n

Hillary, Meredith, and Aly are sitting in their favorite coffee shop when their waiter asks: "Does everyone want coffee?" Hillar
liraira [26]

Answer:

a) Yes.

b) Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meredith and Hillary both want coffe, but they don't know if the other two people do, therefore they can't know if everyone want coffee. If they didn't want coffee, their answer would have been just "no".

Aly knows that she doesn't want coffee, therefore she knows that not everyone wants coffee.
