Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

40 divided by 5 equals 8 and 120 divided by 14 equals 8.5. they are in the same number range.

Determine 2nd term and rth term of a.p.whose 6 th term is 12 and 8 th term is 22

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic progression is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given $a_{6}$ = 12 and $a_{8}$ = 22, then

a₁ + 5d = 12 → (1)

a₁ + 7d = 22 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

2d = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

d = 5

Substitute d = 5 into (1) to find a₁

a₁ + 5(5) = 12

a₁ + 25 = 12 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

a₁ = - 13

Thus

$a_{2}$ = - 13 + 5 = - 8

$a_{n}$ = - 13 + 5(n - 1) = - 13 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 18 ← n th term

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The mean will increase more than the median, but both will increase.

[third option listed]

Step-by-step explanation:

the median of a data set is the number in the middle [when listed from lowest to highest in value]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

is the current median

let's consider what adding 12 would mean--it would mean that we move the median slightly higher [further along in the data set] because there are more numbers (but let's try this out to confirm:)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 12 13

[if a median placement is shared between two numbers, the mean/average of those two numbers is taken, and that is considered to be the median]

so, 7.5 is the current median

(this is an increase of 0.5)

the mean of a data set is what we commonly refer to as the "average"

[you find this value by adding all of the numbers in the data set together and dividing by the number of terms in the data set]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

mean of original data set:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 [= 91]

_______________________________________

[91 ÷ 13 = 7]

because our number is greater than our original mean [12 > 7], we know that the mean must increase:

[91 + 12 = 103]

[103 ÷ 14 ≈ 9.36]

[we had an increase of 2.36]

so, median increased by 0.5, mean increased by 2.36

so, both values increased, whilst the mean increased by more than the median [as to be expected]

you could also express this as "The mean will increase more than the median, but both will increase." [third option listed]

hope this helps!! :)

Using the information in the customer order, determine the length and width of the garden. Enter the dimensions. ↓

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Length: 14 feet Width: 1 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the only way to have a rectangle that has a perimeter of 30 feet, and an area of 14 feet.

For perimeter:

14 + 14 = 28

1 + 1 = 2

2 + 28 = 30

These dimensions have a perimeter of 30.

For area:

14 x 1 = 14

These dimesnions also have an area of 14.

So, 14 and 1 are the correct dimensions!

An exit poll in an election is a survey taken of voters just after they have voted. One major use of exit polls has been so that

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

P(A) = 0.39

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

P(W|A) = 0.7

P(W|A^c ) = 0.3

We are told that 60% of the respondents said they voted for A. Thus;

P(A|W) = 60% = 0.6

Now, using the principle of drawing lots, we can be able to find the probability of the event that they are willing to participate in the exit poll which is P(W).

Thus;

P(W) = [P(W|A) × P(A)] +[P(W∣A^c) × P(A^c)]

Now, P(A^c) can be expressed as 1 - P(A)

Thus, we now have;

P(W) = [P(W|A) × P(A)] + [P(W∣A^c) × (1 - P(A)]

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

P(W) = 0.7P(A) + 0.3(1 - P(A))

P(W) = 0.7P(A) + 0.3 - 0.3P(A)

P(W) = 0.3 + 0.4P(A)

Now,using Baye's theorem, we can find an expression for P(A|W)

Thus;

P(A|W) = [P(A ∩ W)]/P(W)

This can be further expressed as;

P(A|W) = [P(A) × P(W|A)]/P(W)

Plugging in relevant values, we have;

0.6 = 0.7P(A)/(0.3 + 0.4P(A))

Cross multiply to get;

0.6(0.3 + 0.4P(A)) = 0.7P(A)

0.18 + 0.24P(A) = 0.7P(A)

0.18 = 0.7P(A) - 0.24P(A)

0.46P(A) = 0.18

P(A) = 0.18/0.46

P(A) = 0.39
