Answer: The 25th term of the sequence is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence depicts an arithmetic progression. The consecutive terms differ by a common difference. We will apply the formula for arithmetic progression.

Tn = a + (n-1)d

Tn = The value of the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

a = first term of the sequence.

d = common difference (difference between a term and the consecutive term behind it)

n = number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 3

d = 5-3 = 7-5 = 2

We want to look for the 25th term, T25

So n = 25

T25 = 3 + (25-1)2 = 3+ 24×2

T25 = 3 + 72 = 75

Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.â Suppose a small group of 11 Allen's humming

alexira [117]

Answer:

$3.15-1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.003$

$3.15+ 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.297$

So on this case the 80% confidence interval would be given by (3.003;3.297)

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME = 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}= 0.147$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X=3.15$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=0.38$ represent the population standard deviation

n=11 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.80 or 80%, the value of $\alpha=0.2$ and $\alpha/2 =0.1$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NOR.INV(0.1,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.28$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$3.15-1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.003$

$3.15+ 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.297$

So on this case the 80% confidence interval would be given by (3.003;3.297)

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME = 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}= 0.147$

Solve with interval notation Solve: 5 | x − 2 | + 4 > 8

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

x<6/5, x>14/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps

$5\left|x-2\right|+4>8$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}4\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$5\left|x-2\right|+4-4>8-4$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$5\left|x-2\right|>4$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}5$

$\frac{5\left|x-2\right|}{5}>\frac{4}{5}$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$\left|x-2\right|>\frac{4}{5}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:absolute\:rule}:\quad\mathrm{If}\:|u|\:>\:a,\:a>0\:\mathrm{then}\:u\:<\:-a\:\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:u\:>\:a$

$x-2<-\frac{4}{5}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:x-2>\frac{4}{5}$

Show Steps

$x-2<-\frac{4}{5}\quad:\quad x<\frac{6}{5}$

Show Steps

$x-2>\frac{4}{5}\quad:\quad x>\frac{14}{5}$

$\mathrm{Combine\:the\:intervals}$

$x<\frac{6}{5}\quad\mathrm{or}\quad\:x>\frac{14}{5}$

2. Use the relationship you established in part 1 to find the m your work. (1 point)

S_A_V [24]

When faced with an unknown variable in a maths problem, it is advised to find the subject formula and then use it to solve the equation to find the answer.

<h3>What is an Unknown Variable?</h3>

This refers to the type of variable in a given equation that has to be solved for because its properties or value is not known.

Hence, we can see that when faced with an unknown variable in a given math problem, it is better to find the subject formula, then input the value of this into an equation, to find the value of the variable.

Draw a line through the point (2, 0) with a slope of 1/4

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

y = 1/4 x - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The general equation for a line is y = mx + b

You know that m = 1/4. The problem is what do you do about (2,0)?

Solution

y = 1/4 x + b Let x = 2 when y = 0

0 = 1/4 * 2 + b multiply 2 * 1/4

0 = 1/2 + b Subtract 1/2 from both sides

b = - 1/2

equation y = 1/4 x - 1/2
