In a geometric sequence, a2=2, a3=16, and a4=128.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

an = 1/4(8)^n-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following in a geometric sequence, a2=2, a3=16, and a4=128.

nth term of a sequence = ar^n-1

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

r = a3/a2 = a4/a3

r = 16/2 = 128/16

r = 8

a2 = ar

2 = 8a

a = 2/8

a = 1/4

The nth term by substituting the parameters will be;

an = 1/4(8)^n-1

Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 21% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage of

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The pvalue of the test is 0.0784 > 0.01, which means that at this significance level, we do not reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The candy company claims that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

$H_{0}: p = 0.29$

We want to test the hypothesis that this is true, so the alternate hypothesis is:

$H_{a}: p \neq 0.29$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

0.29 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 0.29, \sigma = \sqrt{0.29*0.71}$

Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored candies, 21% of them are blue.

This means that $n = 100, X = 0.21$

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{0.21 - 0.29}{\frac{\sqrt{0.29*0.71}}{\sqrt{100}}}$

$z = -1.76$

Pvalue of the test:

The pvalue of the test is the probability of the sample proportion differing at least 0.21 - 0.29 = 0.08 from the population proportion, which is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of Z = -1.76.

Looking at the z-table, z = -1.76 has a pvalue of 0.0392

2*0.0392 = 0.0784

The pvalue of the test is 0.0784 > 0.01, which means that at this significance level, we do not reject the null hypothesis that the percentage of blue candies is equal to 29%.

A linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solution the set of all solutions to a linear equation in two variables f

Greeley [361]

1, During a 1-hr television program, there were 22 commercials, Some commercials were 15 sec and some were 30 sec long. Find the number of 15- sec commercials and the number of 30 sec commercial if the total playing time for commercial was 9.5 minutes.

a) show how to formulate your system of equations for your problem,

Answer:
- state the variables: x number of 15 sec commercials, y number of 30 sec commercials
- translate the word statement into algebraic language

b) state the two equations:

- translate the word statement into algebraic equations:

* there were 22 commercials => x + y = 22
* the total playing time for commercial was 9.5 minutes => 15x + 30y = 9.5*60 

Answer:
Equation (1) x + y = 22
Equation (2) 15x + 30y = 570

c) state which method you will use to solve either addition or substitution

Answer:
adition: multiply the first equation times - 15 and add the two equations.

d) solve your system showing and explaining each step of the process

Answer:
- muliply eq (1) times - 15

-15x - 15y = - 330

- add that to the eq (2):

-15x + 15x - 15y + 30y = -330 + 570

- add like terms: 15y = 240

- divide both members by 15: 15y/15 = 240 / 15 => y = 16

- replace y = 16 in eq I(1) => x + 16 = 22 => x = 22 - 16 = 6

Solution: x = 6, y = 16

e) Be sure to check your solution!

x + y = 22
6 + 16 = 22
22 = 22 --> check

15x + 30y = 9.5*60
15(6) + 30(16) = 570
90 + 480 = 570
570 = 570 ---> check

f) Once a solution is found explain what this solution means in the context of the problem, write the answer to the word problem in words

The solution means that during a 1-hr television program, there were 6 commercials of 15 sec and 16 commercials of 30 sec.

2, How many quarts of water should be mixed with a 30% vinegar solution to obtain 12 qt of a 25% vinegar solution. (Hint: water is 0% vinegar).

a) variables:

- state the variables
x: number of quarters of water
y: number of quarters of vinegar

- translate the words into mathematical language

12 qt 25% vinegar solution

=> total number of quarts = 12 = x + y

balance in vinegar:

vinegar from water + vinegar from 30% vinegar solution = vinegar in the 25% vinegar solution

0 + 0.3y = 0.25 (x + y)

c) Equations

Eq (1) x + y = 12

Eq (2): 0.3y = 0.25x + 0.25y

=> 0.25x - 0.05y = 0

d) solve

- multiply eq (1) times 0.05 and add to eq (2)

0.05x + 0.05y = 0.6
0.25x - 0.05y = 0
------------------------
0.30x = 0.6

x = 0.6 / 0.3 = 2

x + y = 12 => y = 12 - y = 12 - 2 = 10

Solution: x = 2, y = 10

e) check:

x + y = 12
2 qt + 10qt = 12 qt
12 qt = 12 qt ---> check

vinegar:

10*0.3 = 12*0.25
3 = 3 -> check

f) Explanation of the solution

The solution means that you have to mix 2 qts of water with 10 qts of 30% vinegar solution to obtain 12 qt of 25% vinegar solution.

A farmer wants to seed and fence a section of land. Fencing costs $27 per yard. Grass seed costs $2 per square foot. How much do

Lilit [14]

From.the calculated area and perimeter of the field, it will cost the farmer $475740 to fence and seed the pasture.

<h3>What is the area of the field?</h3>

The area of the field is calculated as follows:

Area of square = 450 ft × 450 ft = 202500 square feet

Area of triangle = (450 ft × 120 ft)/2 = 27000 square feet

Area of field = 229500 square feet

Cost of seeding the field = 229500 × $2 = $459000

Perimeter of the field = 450 + 450 + 450 + 255 + 255 = 1860 ft

1 ft = 1/3 yard

1860 ft = 1860 × 1/3 yards = 620 yards

Cost of fencing = 620 × $27 = $16740

Total cost of seeding and fencing = $475200

Therefore, it will cost the farmer $475740 to fence and seed the pasture.
