The first term(a1) is 3
The second term (a2) is obtained by multiplying 3*(-5)
The third term A3 by multiplying 3 * -5 -5 = a2 times -5
Than you go on and one with that
But your answer is
A1=3;an+1=an(-5)

Which expression results in a sum or difference of five and six fifty fourths? (3 points) a eight and seven ninths minus three a
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a)  eight and seven ninths minus three and four sixths

Step-by-step explanation:

The required result is 5\frac{6}{54}

a)

8\frac{7}{9} -3\frac{4}{6}\\\\=\frac{79}{9}  -\frac{22}{6} \\\\Simplifying\ the\ expression:\\\\=\frac{474-198}{54} \\\\=\frac{276}{54}\\\\=5\frac{6}{54}

b)

6\frac{8}{9} -1\frac{5}{6}\\\\=\frac{62}{9}  -\frac{11}{6} \\\\Simplifying\ the\ expression:\\\\=\frac{372-99}{54} \\\\=\frac{273}{54}\\\\=5\frac{3}{54}

c)

4\frac{1}{6} +1\frac{1}{9}\\\\=\frac{10}{9}  +\frac{25}{6} \\\\Simplifying\ the\ expression:\\\\=\frac{60+225}{54} \\\\=\frac{285}{54}\\\\=5\frac{15 }{54}

d)

3\frac{3}{6} +2\frac{4}{9}\\\\=\frac{22}{9}  +\frac{21}{6} \\\\Simplifying\ the\ expression:\\\\=\frac{132+189}{54} \\\\=\frac{321}{54}\\\\=5\frac{51 }{54}

A particular brand of tires claims that its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced. From past
Minchanka [31]
<h2><u>Answer with explanation</u>:</h2>

Let \mu be the distance traveled by deluxe tire .

As per given , we have

Null hypothesis : H_0 : \mu \geq50000

Alternative hypothesis : H_a : \mu

Since H_a is left-tailed and population standard deviation is known, thus we should perform left-tailed z-test.

Test statistic : z=\dfrac{\overlien{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

where, n= sample size

\overline{x}= sample mean

\mu= Population mean

s=sample standard deviation

For n= 31,\ \sigma=8000,\ \overline{x}=46,800\ \&\ s=46,800, we have

z=\dfrac{46800-50000}{\dfrac{8000}{\sqrt{31}}}=-2.23

By using z-value table,

P-value for left tailed test : P(z≤-2.23)=1-P(z<2.23)   [∵P(Z≤-z)=1-P(Z≤z)]

=1-0.9871=0.0129

 Decision : Since p value (0.0129) < significance level  (0.05), so we reject the null hypothesis .

[We reject the null hypothesis when p-value is less than the significance level .]

Conclusion : We do not have enough evidence at 0.05 significance level to support the claim that t its deluxe tire averages at least 50,000 miles before it needs to be replaced.
