Solve for X: 5x + 15 = 28

Enter the explicit rule for the sequence

Softa [21]

Let's take a look at the first few numbers in the sequence based on the given rule:

$a_{1}=6\\ a_{2}= \frac{1}{4}(6)\\ a_3= \frac{1}{4}\big( \frac{1}{4}\big)6= \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^2(6)\\ a_{4}= \frac{1}{4} \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^26= \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^3(6)$

Inspecting this pattern it seems like the power $\frac{1}{4}$ is being raised to is always one less than the number of the sequence, so if we were on the nth number in the sequence, that part of the expression would be $\big(\frac{1}{4} \big)^{n-1}$ . We also know that we'll be multiplying whatever we get from that by 6, so we can write the full explicit rule for our sequence as

$a_n=6\big( \frac{1}{4} \big)^{n-1}$

Where $a_n$ is the nth number in our sequence.

Lindsay buys 15 3/4 gallons of gasoline for $3.50 per gallon how much the whole tank cost

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The whole tank cost $55.13

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is multiply the fraction and cost, to ge thte total cost

15 3/4 also equals 15.75 (it will be easier to multiply two fractions)

now each gall of the 15.75 costs 3.50 so we multiply the number of gallons by the cost

15.75 x 3.50 = 55.125

but now we must round since there isnt .125 cents

so

55.13 is the cost

Which score indicates the highest relative position? I. A score of 2.6 on a test with X = 5.0 and s = 1.6 II. A score of 650 on

Zanzabum

Answer:

A score of 2.6 on a test with $\bar X$ = 5.0 and s = 1.6 and A score of 48 on a test with $\bar X$ = 57 and s = 6 indicate the highest relative position.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following:

I. A score of 2.6 on a test with $\bar X$ = 5.0 and s = 1.6

II. A score of 650 on a test with $\bar X$ = 800 and s = 200

III. A score of 48 on a test with $\bar X$ = 57 and s = 6

And we have to find that which score indicates the highest relative position.

For finding in which score indicates the highest relative position, we will find the z score for each of the score on a test because the higher the z score, it indicates the highest relative position.

The z-score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\bar X}{s}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = mean score

s = standard deviation

X = each score on a test

The z-score of First condition is calculated as;

Since we are given that a score of 2.6 on a test with $\bar X$ = 5.0 and s = 1.6,

So, z-score = $\frac{2.6-5}{1.6}$ = -1.5 {where $\bar X = 5.0$ and s = 1.6 }

The z-score of Second condition is calculated as;

Since we are given that a score of 650 on a test with $\bar X$ = 800 and s = 200,

So, z-score = $\frac{650-800}{200}$ = -0.75 {where $\bar X = 800$ and s = 200 }

The z-score of Third condition is calculated as;

Since we are given that a score of 48 on a test with $\bar X$ = 57 and s = 6,

So, z-score = $\frac{48-57}{6}$ = -1.5 {where $\bar X = 57$ and s = 6 }

AS we can clearly see that the z score of First and third condition are equally likely higher as compared to Second condition so it can be stated that A score of 2.6 on a test with $\bar X$ = 5.0 and s = 1.6 and A score of 48 on a test with $\bar X$ = 57 and s = 6 indicate the highest relative position.

A questionnaire has determined that 20% of the residents of Flaugamuck County own an iPod. Furthermore, 80% of these iPod owners

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

P = 7.14%

The percentage of those 30 years or older that own an ipod is 7.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Percentage of ipod owners Pi = 20%

Percentage who don't own ipod Pd = 100-20 = 80%

For age 30 or older;

Percentage of ipod owners who belong to this group

Po = 20% of Pi

Percentage who don't have an ipod but belong to this group Pu = 100-35% = 65% of Pd

The percentage of those 30 years or older that own an ipod is;

P = Po/(Po+Pu) × 100%

Po = 20% of Pi = 20% of 20% = 0.2×20 =4%

Pu = 65% of Pd = 65% of 80% = 0.65×80% = 52%

Substituting the values;

P = 4/(4+52) × 100%

P = 7.14%
