Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
represent the sample mean given
represent the population standard deviation
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean for the gasoline prices is lower than 1.25, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
If we analyze the size for the sample is > 30 but we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
(1)
Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
Answer:
a) The arithmetic sequence with common difference 2 that has 8 as the first term.
b) The arithmetic sequence of common difference -5 and first term 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use for example the arithmetic sequence with common difference 2 that has 8 as the first term. Then the first two terms of this sequence are:
8, and (8+2) = 10 Therefore the second term is 10.
Another arithmetic sequence of common difference -5 and first term 15. The firs two terms of this sequence are:
15, and (15 - 5) = 10. Therefore again a 10 as second term.
I think your answer is the second one
best of luck
You would take 7.5 and divide it by 2 which will give you C. 3.75
