What is the ratio of people who prefer oranges to bananas?

Ok So I an taking algebra 1 and this question is really confusing me.

V125BC [204]

You use the arithmetic sequence formula and input the information given to you.
tn = a + (n-1)d
t(56) is what your looking for so don't worry about the tn.
a is your first term,
a = 15.
n is the position of the term you are looking for, n = 56.
And d is the common difference, you find this by taking t2 and subtracting t1. t2=18 and t1=15.
d = 18 - 15 = 3
Inputting it all into the formula you get,
t(56) = 15 + (56-1)(3)
term 56 = 180.
You use this formula to find any term in a sequence provided you are given enough info. You can also manipulate it if you are asked to find something else like the first term(a), common difference(d) or term position(n). It just depends on what the question is asking and what information you are given. :)
Hope this helps!

Find the values of a , b and c in the equation below

stellarik [79]

Answer:

x^12 y^2 z^11

a= 12

b= 2

c= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

On the numerator you distribute the exponent 3 to the other exponents.

I think you multiply the 3 so you would get: x^15 y^3 z^12.

so it looks like x^15 y^3 z^12 / x^3yz

Then you subtract the top exponents from the bottom exponent because when you are dividing you subtract exponents. the exponent for y and z in the denominator is 1

and thats how i got x^12 y^2 and z^11. The exponents are a b and c

I hope that is right

Life rating in Greece. Greece has faced a severe economic crisis since the end of 2009. A Gallup poll surveyed 1,000 randomly sa

elena-s [515]

Answer:

a

The population parameter of interest is the true proportion of Greek who are suffering

While the point estimate of this parameter is proportion of those that would rate their lives poorly enough to be considered "suffering". which is 25%

b

The condition is met

c

The 95% confidence interval is $0.223 < p < 0.277$

d

If the confidence level is increased which will in turn reduce the level of significance but increase the critical value( $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$ ) and this will increase the margin of error( deduced from the formula for margin of error i.e $E \ \alpha \ Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$ ) which will make the confidence interval wider

e

Looking at the formula for margin of error if the we see that if the sample size is increased the margin of error will reduce making the confidence level narrower

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 1000

The population proportion is $\r p = 0.25$

Considering question a

The population parameter of interest is the true proportion of Greek who are suffering

While the point estimate of this parameter is proportion of those that would rate their lives poorly enough to be considered "suffering". which is 25%

Considering question b

The condition for constructing a confidence interval is

$n * \r p > 5\ and \ n(1 - \r p ) >5$

So

$1000 * 0.25 > 5 \ and \ 1000 * (1-0.25 ) > 5$

$250 > 5 \ and \ 750> 5$

Hence the condition is met

Considering question c

Given that the confidence level is 95% then the level of significance is mathematically evaluated as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5 \%$

$\alpha = 0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table, the value is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_\frac{ \alpha }{2} * \sqrt{ \frac{\r p (1 - \r p ) }{n} }$

substituting values

$E = 1.96 * \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.25 (1 - 0.25 ) }{ 1000} }$

$E = 0.027$

The 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\r p - E < p < \r p + E$

substituting values

$0.25 - 0.027 < p < 0.25 + 0.027$

substituting values

$0.223 < p < 0.277$

considering d

If the confidence level is increased which will in turn reduce the level of significance but increase the critical value( $Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$ ) and this will increase the margin of error( deduced from the formula for margin of error i.e $E \ \alpha \ Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }$ ) which will make the confidence interval wider

considering e

Looking at the formula for margin of error if the we see that if the sample size is increased the margin of error will reduce making the confidence level narrower
