Answer:

= 4374.

Step-by-step explanation:

it is important to understand the pattern hidden in such problem.Let’s give it a try 2, 6, 18, 54 and so on.It can be written as 2, 3*2, 9*2, 27*2 and so on.

This can be further written as2 (1, 3, 9, 27, and so on) as 2 is common in every term.Now if you see the chain 1,3,9, 27 and so….you will see a pattern hidden i.e. 3=1*3 ,9=1*3*3, 27=1*3*3*3 now 27 is the 4th term consist of three 3. So 8th term would consist of seven 3. 8th would be 8th term = 1*3*3*3*3*3*3*3 = 2187 Hence the 8th term for the series 2,6,18,54 would be= 2*2187 = 4374.

Mike sees 3 more fish than Chris. Chris sees 6 fish. How many fish does Mike see? It says use comparison bars. Thanks

Katen [24]

Chris sees 6 fish.

Mike sees 3 more fish than Chris.

6 + 3 = 9

So on your bar, you have Chris's number of fish he saw, 6, and you have 3 being added to that on Mike's bar.

Find the equation of the line using the point-slope forumla. Write the final equation using the slope-intercept form. parallel t

Greeley [361]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = 3x - 2 is in this form with slope m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slopes

Hence the slope of the parallel line = 3

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

here m = 3 and (a, b) = (- 3, - 14), hence

y + 14 = 3(x + 3) ← in point- slope form

Distribute and simplify

y + 14 = 3x + 9 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

y = 3x - 5 ← in slope- intercept form

Consider the following hypothesis test: H0: LaTeX: \mu_1-\mu_2=0μ 1 − μ 2 = 0 Ha: LaTeX: \mu_1-\mu_2\ne0μ 1 − μ 2 ≠ 0 The follow

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$z=\frac{104-\bar 106}{\sqrt{\frac{8.4^2}{80}+\frac{7.6^2}{70}}}}=-1.53$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X_{1}=104$ represent the mean for the sample 1

$\bar X_{2}=106$ represent the mean for the sample 2

$\sigma_{1} =8.4$ represent the population standard deviation for the sample 1

$\sigma_{2}=7.6$ represent the population standard deviation for the sample 2

$n_{1}=80$ sample size for the group 1

$n_{2}=70$ sample size for the group 2

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the means for the two groups are the same, the system of hypothesis would be:

H0: $\mu_{1}-\mu_{2} =0$

H1: $\mu_{1} -\mu_{2} \neq 0$

If we analyze the size for the samples both are greater than 30 and we know the population deviations so for this case is better apply a z test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}}$ (1)

z-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Calculate the statistic

First we need to calculate the mean and deviation for each sample, after apply the formulas (2) and (3) we got the following results:

And with this we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{104-\bar 106}{\sqrt{\frac{8.4^2}{80}+\frac{7.6^2}{70}}}}=-1.53$
