Given :-

  • The general term of a sequence is given by aₙ=43-3(n-1) .

To Find :-

  • The first four terms of the sequence.

Solution :-

The given expression is /

→ aₙ=43-3(n-1)

where n > 0

<u>Finding</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>first </u><u>term </u><u>:</u>

Substituting n = 1 , we have ,

→ T1 = 43 - 3(1-1)

→ T1 = 43 - 3*0

→ T1 = 43 - 0 = 43

<u>Finding</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>second</u><u> </u><u>term </u><u>:</u>

Substituting n = 2 , we have,

→ T2 = 43 -3(2-1)

→ T2 = 43 -3*1

→ T2 = 43 -3 = 40

<u>Finding</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>third </u><u>term</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

Substituting n = 3 , we have,

→ T3 = 43 -3(3-1)

→ T3 = 43 -3*2

→ T3 = 43 -6 = 37

<u>Finding</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>fourth</u><u> </u><u>term </u><u>:</u>

→ T4 = 43 -3(4-1)

→ T4 = 43 -3*3

→ T4 = 43-9 = 34

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>first</u><u> </u><u>four</u><u> terms</u><u> of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>sequence</u><u> </u><u>are </u><u>4</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>4</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>37</u><u> </u><u>and </u><u>34</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

In a random sample of males, it was found that 28 write with their left hands and 210 do not. In a random sample of females, it
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis:p_{M} \geq p_{W}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{M} < p_{W}  

b) z=\frac{0.118-0.125}{\sqrt{0.122(1-0.122)(\frac{1}{238}+\frac{1}{497})}}=-0.271    

c)p_v =P(Z   

d) If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of men that write with their left hand is NOT significant lower than the proportion of female that write with their left hand

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

X_{M}=28 represent the number of men that write with their left hand

X_{W}=62 represent the number of women  that write with their left hand

n_{M}=210+28=238 sample of male selected

n_{W}=62+435=497 sample of female selected

p_{M}=\frac{28}{238}=0.118 represent the proportion of men  that write with their left hand

p_{W}=\frac{62}{497}=0.125 represent the proportion of women that write with their left hand

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females , the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:p_{M} \geq p_{W}  

Alternative hypothesis:p_{M} < p_{W}  

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:  

z=\frac{p_{M}-p_{W}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{M}}+\frac{1}{n_{W}})}}   (1)

Where \hat p=\frac{X_{M}+X_{W}}{n_{M}+n_{W}}=\frac{28+62}{238+497}=0.122

3) Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:  

z=\frac{0.118-0.125}{\sqrt{0.122(1-0.122)(\frac{1}{238}+\frac{1}{497})}}=-0.271  

4) Statistical decision

We have a significance level provided \alpha=0.05, and now we can calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a one left side test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z  

If we compare the p value and the significance level given \alpha=0.05, 0,1,0.15 we see that p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say the the proportion of men that write with their left hand is NOT significant loer than the proportion of female that write with their left hand .

Sanchez applied 6 fluid Ounces of an herbicide per acre on 300 acres of com. How many gallons
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Sanchez applied 1,800 fluid ounces of herbicide to his 300 acres of corn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's identify what we already know:

1) Sanchez has 300 acres of corn

2) For every 1 acre, Sanchez applies 6 fluid ounces of an herbicide.

So, we need to figure out how many fluid ounces Sanchez used for the entire six acres. We can create a formula for this:

300 acres x 6 fluid ounces = x

x equals total number of fluid ounces. We multiple the number of acres by the fluid ounces, to get 1,800 fluid ounces for the entire 300 acres of corn.
