Why is it important to look at more than the first two numbers of a pattern to decide the rule for the pattern?

Answer:

This is important because, the first few numbers might seem to follow a pattern but subsequent numbers might reveal a change in the rule.

Step-by-step explanation:

When studying patterns it is important to evaluate all the figures holistically instead of drawing conclusions based on just the first few numbers because there might be a change in what we felt was obvious on close observance of all the numbers. For example, observe the pattern;

2,4,6, 10, 14, 18, 20, 22, 24

The first two numbers show the addition of two. If a person decides to add 2 to all the figures, he would be wrong because after the first three figures, he would have to add 4 to the numbers.

Based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11:00 PM newscast reaches 41 % of the viewing audience in the a

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

1) Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.41$

2) $\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

3) $z_{crit}=-2.33$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)"

4) $z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{1000}}}=-1.017$

5) $z_{crit}=-1.28$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.1,0,1)"

6) We see that $|t_{calculated}|$ so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

7) Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X represent the people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

$\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

$p_o=0.41$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v{/tex} represent the p value (variable of interest) Part 1We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that 11:00 PM newscast reaches 41 % of the viewing audience in the area: Null hypothesis:[tex]p\geq 0.41$

Alternative hypothesis: $p < 0.41$

Part 2

$\hat p=0.36$ estimated proportion of people indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station

Part 3

Since we have a left tailed test we need to see in the normal standard distribution a value that accumulates 0.01 of the area on the left and on this case this value is :

$z_{crit}=-2.33$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)"

Part 4

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:

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

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.36 -0.41}{\sqrt{\frac{0.41(1-0.41)}{1000}}}=-1.017$

Part 5

Since we have a left tailed test we need to see in the normal standard distribution a value that accumulates 0.1 of the area on the left and on this case this value is :

$z_{crit}=-1.28$

And we can use the following excel code to find it: "=NORM.INV(0.1,0,1)"

Part 6

We see that $|t_{calculated}|$ so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis at 1% of significance.

Part 7

Null hypothesis: $p\geq 0.41$

ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION 11. Subtract the sum of 13x – 4y + 7z and – 6z + 6x + 3y from the sum of 6x – 4y – 4z and 2x + 4y – 7. 12.

Naily [24]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

(11)

Subtract the sum of (13x - 4y + 7z) and (- 6z + 6x + 3y) from the sum of (6x - 4y - 4z) and (2x + 4y - 7z).

$[(6x - 4y - 4z) +(2x + 4y - 7z)]-[(13x - 4y + 7z) + (- 6z + 6x + 3y) ]\\=[6x-4y-4z+2x+4y-7z]-[13x-4y+7z-6z+6x+3y]\\=6x-4y-4z+2x+4y-7z-13x+4y-7z+6z-6x-3y\\=(6x+2x-13x-6x)+(4y-4y+4y-3y)-(4z+7z+7z-6z)\\=-11x+y-12z$

Thus, the final expression is (-11x + y - 12z).

(12)

From the sum of (x² + 3y² - 6xy), (2x² - y² + 8xy), (y² + 8) and (x² - 3xy) subtract (-3x² + 4y² - xy + x - y + 3).

$[(x^{2} + 3y^{2} - 6xy)+(2x^{2} - y^{2} + 8xy)+(y^{2} + 8)+(x^{2} - 3xy)] - [-3x^{2} + 4y^{2} - xy + x - y + 3]\\=[x^{2} + 3y^{2} - 6xy+2x^{2} - y^{2} + 8xy+y^{2} + 8+x^{2} - 3xy]- [-3x^{2} + 4y^{2} - xy + x - y + 3]\\=[4x^{2}+3y^{2}-xy+8]-[-3x^{2} + 4y^{2} - xy + x - y + 3]\\=4x^{2}+3y^{2}-xy+8+3x^{2}-4y^{2}+xy-x+y-3\\=7x^{2}-y^{2}-x+y+5$

Thus, the final expression is (7x² - y² - x + y + 5).

(13)

What should be subtracted from (x² – xy + y² – x + y + 3) to obtain (-x²+ 3y²- 4xy + 1)?

$A=(x^{2} - xy + y^{2} - x + y + 3) - (-x^{2}+ 3y^{2}- 4xy + 1)\\=x^{2} - xy + y^{2} - x + y + 3 +x^{2}- 3y^{2}+ 4xy -1\\=2x^{2}-2y^{2}+3xy-x+y+2$

Thus, the expression is (2x² - 2y² + 3xy - x + y + 2).

(14)

What should be added to (xy – 3yz + 4zx) to get (4xy – 3zx + 4yz + 7)?

$A=(4xy-3zx + 4yz + 7)-(xy - 3yz + 4zx) \\=4xy-3zx + 4yz + 7 -xy + 3yz - 4zx\\=3xy-7zx+7yz+7$

Thus, the expression is (3xy - 7zx + 7yz + 7).

(15)

How much is (x² − 2xy + 3y²) less than (2x² − 3y² + xy)?

$A=(2x^{2} - 3y^{2} + xy)-(x^{2} - 2xy + 3y^{2})\\=2x^{2} - 3y^{2} + xy-x^{2} + 2xy - 3y^{2}\\=x^{2}-6y^{2}+3xy$

Thus, the expression is (x² - 6y² + 3xy).

Maylin is mailing a package that has the

yarga [219]

Answer:

V=378 inch³

Step-by-step explanation:

The package is in the shape of a cuboid. The volume of a cuboid is given by :

V = lbh

l=length, b=breadth and h=height

Area of base = 54 inch²

Height of box, h = 7 in

It means that, volume of the package is :

V = 54 × 7

V=378 inch³

So, the volume of the package is 378 inch³.
