Answer:

option C

c. least: $101

greatest: $1001

Step-by-step explanation:

A radio station advertises a contest with ten cash prizes totaling $5510. There is to be a $100 difference between each successive prize.

Sum of 10 prizes = 5510

100 is the difference. there is a common difference d=100

So its a arithmetic sequence

the sum formula for arithmetic sequence is

$S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a_1 +(n-1)d)$

Sn = 5510, n=10 n d= 100 we need to find out first term a1

$5510 = \frac{10}{2}(2a_1 +(10-1)100)$

5510 = 5 (2a1 + 900)

5510 = 10a1 + 4500

Subtract 4500 on both sides

1010= 10a1

divide by 10 on both sides

a1 = 101

so first term that is least term is 101

To find out greatest term we use formula

$a_n = a_1 + (n-1) d$

a(10) = 101 + (10-1)100

= 101 + 900= 1001

greatest is 1001

What is greater one seventh or one nineth

Anton [14]

Method 1:

Look at the picture.

$\dfrac{1}{7}$ is greater than $\dfrac{1}{9}$

$\boxed{\dfrac{1}{7}>\dfrac{1}{9}}$

Method 2:

Find the common denominator:

multiples of 7: 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, ...

multiples of 9: 0, 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90, ...

63 = 7 · 9

$\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{1\cdot9}{7\cdot9}=\dfrac{9}{63}\\\\\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{1\cdot7}{9\cdot7}=\dfrac{7}{63}$

$\dfrac{9}{63} > \dfrac{7}{63}$

therefore

$\dfrac{1}{7} > \dfrac{1}{9}$

According to a study conducted in one city, 39% of adults in the city have credit card debts of more than $2000. A simple random

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The sampling distribution of the sample proportion of adults who have credit card debts of more than $2000 is approximately normally distributed with mean $\mu = 0.39$ and standard deviation $s = 0.0488$

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

In this question:

$p = 0.39, n = 100$

Then

$s = \sqrt{\frac{0.39*0.61}{100}} = 0.0488$

By the Central Limit Theorem:

The sampling distribution of the sample proportion of adults who have credit card debts of more than $2000 is approximately normally distributed with mean $\mu = 0.39$ and standard deviation $s = 0.0488$

The drawing shows a stack of alternating cups. The cups are 9.2 cm high. How many cups will fit in a door that is 211.77 cm high

KIM [24]

Answer:

The total number of whole cups that we can fit in the dispenser is 25

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the height of each cup is 20 cm.

But when we stack them one on top of the other, they only add a height of 0.8 to the stack.

The stack of cups has to be put in a dispenser of height 30 cm.

So we need o find out how many cups can fit in the dispenser.

Since the first cup is 20 cm high, the height cannot be reduced. So the space to fit in the remaining cups in the stack is only 30-20 cm as that’s the remaining space in the dispenser

So,

30 - 20 = 10 cm

To stack the other cups we have 10 cm of height remaining

As we know that addition of each adds 0.8 cm to the stack, the total number of cups that can be fit in the dispenser can be calculated by the following equation. Let the number of cups other than the first cup be denoted by ‘x’.

10 + 0.8x = 30

0.8x = 20

x = 25

The total number of cups that we can fit in dispenser is 25
