Answer:

first we find the common difference.....do this by subtracting the first term from the second term. (9 - 3 = 6)...so basically, ur adding 6 to every number to find the next number.

we will be using 2 formulas....first, we need to find the 34th term (because we need this term for the sum formula)

an = a1 + (n-1) * d

n = the term we want to find = 34

a1 = first term = 3

d = common difference = 6

now we sub

a34 = 3 + (34-1) * 6

a34 = 3 + (33 * 6)

a34 = 3 + 198

a34 = 201

now we use the sum formula

Sn = (n (a1 + an)) / 2

S34 = (34(3 + 201))/2

s34 = (34(204)) / 2

s34 = 6936/2

s34 = 3468 <=== the sum of the first 34 terms:

A city bus collected $780 in fares on one day.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

450 people paid the discounted fare and 750 people paid the regular fare.

Step-by-step explanation:

let r be regular fares paid and d be discounted fares paid

Total fares = 0.8r + 0.4d = 780

Since 1200 people paid the fares,

r + d = 1200 = Total people

Rearrange this formula:

r = 1200 - d

Substitute r into Total Fares formula

Total fares = 0.8r + 0.4d

780 = 0.8(1200-d) + 0.4d

780 = 960 - 0.8d + 0.4d

780 = 960 - 0.4d

0.4d = 180

d = 450

Sub d=450 into Total people formula

r + d = 1200 = Total people

r + 450 = 1200

r = 1200-450

r = 750

450 people paid the discounted fare and 750 people paid the regular fare.

The manufacturer of a refrigerator system for beer kegs produces refrigerators that are supposed to maintain a true mean tempera

Bond [772]

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean temperature is different from 42 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, we are being told that:

The manufacturer of a refrigerator system for beer kegs produces refrigerators that are supposed to maintain a true mean temperature, μ, of 42°F

i. e mean μ = 42

The owner of the brewery does not agree with the refrigerator manufacturer, and claims he can prove that the true mean temperature is incorrect.

Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms.

From above;

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

$\mathbf{H_o : \mu = 42} \\ \\ \mathbf {H_1 : \mu \neq 42}$

Here , the hypothesis test of the claim is the alternative hypothesis.

The conclusion based on the decision rule: is to reject the null hypothesis

∴

The conclusion in non technical terms is that :

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean temperature is different from 42 deg

In March 2015, a Nielsen global online survey "found that consumers are increasingly willing to pay more for socially responsibl

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

For this case the parameter of interest is given by:

$p$ who represent the true proportion of respondents said that they were willing to pay more for products and services from companies who are committed to positive social and environmental impact

For this case we have an estimation given for this parameter. The estimation comes from a sample of 30000 people selected in 60 countries and they got:

$\hat p = 0.66$

This value represent the best estimator for the true proportion since is an unbiased estimator of the real parameter:

$E(\hat p) = p$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case the parameter of interest is given by:

$p$ who represent the true proportion of respondents said that they were willing to pay more for products and services from companies who are committed to positive social and environmental impact

$\hat p = 0.66$

This value represent the best estimator for the true proportion since is an unbiased estimator of the real parameter:

$E(\hat p) = p$

For this case if we want to test if the population proportion is equal to an specified value we can use the one sample z test for a proportion:

Null hypothesis: $p=p_0$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq p_o$

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)

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion $\hat p$ is significantly different from a hypothesized value $p_o$ .
