Answer:
The point estimate is 5,617.
The margin of error of a confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is 454.18386 .
The 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is (5163, 6071).
Step-by-step explanation:
Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
Compound 1:
127 brakes, average brake life of 42,814 miles, population standard deviation of 1819 miles. This means that:
[tex]\mu_1 = 42814[/tex]
[tex]s_1 = \frac{1819}{\sqrt{127}} = 161.41[/tex]
Compound 2:
163 brakes, average brake life of 37,197 miles, population standard deviation of 1401 miles. This means that:
[tex]\mu_2 = 37197[/tex]
[tex]s_2 = \frac{1401}{\sqrt{163}} = 109.73[/tex]
Distribution of the difference:
[tex]\mu = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 42814 - 37197 = 5617[/tex]
The point estimate is 5,617.
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{161.41^2 + 109.73^2} = 195.18[/tex]
Confidence interval
The confidence interval is:
[tex]\mu \pm zs[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = zs[/tex]
98% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].
Margin of error:
[tex]M = zs = 195.18*2.327 = 454.18386 [/tex]
The margin of error of a confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is 454.18386 .
For the confidence interval, as we round to the nearest whole number, we round it 454. So
The lower bound of the interval is:
[tex]\mu - zs = \mu - M = 5617 - 454 = 5163[/tex]
The upper bound of the interval is:
[tex]\mu + zs = \mu + M = 5617 + 454 = 6071[/tex]
The 98% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is (5163, 6071).

Find the 5th term for the following recursive formulas/sequences. SHOW YOUR WORK!!
c. 1/6, 2/3, 8/3, . . .
Answer:
128/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence follow the rule (1/6)*(4)^(n-1). The 5th term will be (1/6)*(4)^4=128/3
Answer:
128/3
Step-by-step explanation:
1/6, 2/3, 8/3, . . .
1/6, 4/6, 16/6
We are multiplying by 4 each time
1/6 *4 = 4/6
4/6 * 4 = 16/6
This is a geometric sequence with the common ratio of 4
an = a1 (r)^(n-1)
an = 1/6 (4) ^(n-1)
Let n = 5
a5 = 1/6 (4)^(5-1)
a5 = 1/6 (4)^4
a5 = 1/6 * 256
a5 =128/3
The 3rd and 7th terms of an arithmetic progression are 6and 30 respectively determine the common difference, first term,10th term.
Answer:
d = 6 , a₁ = - 6 and a₁₀ = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic progression is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₃ = 6 and a₇ = 30 , then
a₁ + 2d = 6 → (1)
a₁ + 6d = 30 → (2)
Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate a₁
4d = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )
d = 6
Substitute d = 6 into (1)
a₁ + 2(6) = 6
a₁ + 12 = 6 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
a₁ = - 6
Then
a₁₀ = - 6 + (9 × 6) = - 6 + 54 = 48
----------------------------------------------------
Answer:
d=6
a=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
use the formula for the nth term which is
Tn=a+(n-1)d..you will have to create two equations then solve them as a simultaneous equation
T3=6 and T7=30
T3=a+(3-1)d
6=a+2d........... first equation
T7=a+(7-1)d
30=a+6d.......... second equation
then solve them as a simultaneous equation
a+2d=6
a+6d=30
-4d/-4=-24/-4
d=6
a+2d=6
a+2(6)=6
a=6-12
a=-6

Find all real numbers for which the rational expression is undefined.
Answer:
x=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
For the rational expression, 6x/(x+6) to be undefined, the denominator need to be 0, so x=-6 is the point at which the function is undefined.
The rational expression 6x / (x + 6) is undefined when x equals -6, and it is defined for all other real numbers.
To find the real numbers for which the rational expression 6x / (x + 6) is undefined, we need to identify the values of x that would make the denominator equal to zero. When the denominator is zero, the expression becomes undefined.
In this case, the denominator is (x + 6). Setting the denominator equal to zero, we have:
x + 6 = 0
Solving for x, we subtract 6 from both sides:
x = -6
Therefore, the rational expression 6x / (x + 6) is undefined when x = -6.
When x is equal to -6, the denominator becomes zero, which causes division by zero. Division by zero is undefined in mathematics. Hence, for x = -6, the rational expression is not defined.
For any other real numbers other than x = -6, the expression is defined and can be simplified or evaluated.

Which equation represents a slope of −4 and y-intercept of (0,2)?
y = −4x + 2
y = −2x
y = −2x − 4
y = 4x + 2
Answer:
y=-4x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We want to find out which equation represents a line with a slope of -4 and a y intercept of (0,2)
The most common way to write the equation of the line is in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
We have everything we need to plug into the equation, let's just label the values to avoid confusion
m=-4
b=2 (when you substitute the y intercept as b, b is the value of y in the point)
Now substitute into the equation
y=-4x+2

If I toss a fair coin five times and the outcomes are TTTTT, then the probability that tails appears on the next toss is
1) 0.5
2) greater than 0.5
3) 1
4) less than 0.5
5) 0
Answer:
1. 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of flipping a coin and landing on heads or tails is 100%. So 3)1 would be incorrect. In probability, we learned that just because something was picked more than once, it does not lower the chances of the thing being picked again. So 5)0 would be incorrect. The chances of getting tails are 50% also 0.5 and the chances of getting heads are 50% also 0.5. So 1 is correct.
There is a 0.5 percent chance that the following coin will land on its side.
What is Probability?Probability refers to potential. A random event's occurrence is the subject of this area of mathematics. The range of the value is 0 to 1.
The sample space, which is typically represented using set notation, contains a list of all the potential ordered outcomes as elements. A sample space with all possible outcomes exists for a series of five fair coin tosses. The example of a fair coin toss is 2*2*2H,T.
{HHHHH,HHHHT,HHHTH,HHTHH,HTHHH........TTTTT} The likelihood that the next coin will land on its side is always equal to It doesn't matter if previous results were TTTTT, HHHHH, or TTHT. The probability that the next number will be a tails is therefore still 0.5 in each of these cases as well as all others.

The table above shows the percent of the area of a town
devoted to three uses. If the area devoted to business use
is 7,200 acres less than the area devoted to residential
use, what is the area, in acres, devoted to government
use?
A) 1,400
B) 1,800
C) 5,200
D) 44,000
=========================================================
Explanation:
Let
r = area devoted to residential use
This variable is some positive real number, and it represents the area in acres.
Your teacher says that " the area devoted to business use is 7,200 acres less than the area devoted to residential use"
This means the expression r-7200 represents the area for business use
Note the jump from 25% to 65% is 65/25 = 2.6, meaning that we multiply by 2.6 when going from the business area to the residential area.
So we'll multiply by 2.6 to go from r-7200 to r
We'll have this equation
2.6(r-7200) = r
because it's effectively saying
2.6*(business area) = residential area
--------------------------
Let's isolate r
2.6(r-7200) = r
2.6r-2.6*7200 = r
2.6r - 18720 = r
2.6r - r = 18720
1.6r = 18720
r = 18720/(1.6)
r = 11700
We'll use 11700 acres for the residential portion.
And also r-7200 = 11700-7200 = 4500 acres are set aside for the business district.
--------------------------
The largest region (residential) uses 11700 acres of land.
Note the jump from 10% to 65% involves a multiplier of 6.5 because 65/10 = 6.5
So if g is the amount of government land used, then,
6.5g = r
6.5g = 11700
g = 11700/(6.5)
g = 1800
1800 acres of land are for government use
This is why the answer is choice B.
The area, in acres, devoted to government use is 1800.
Option (B) is correct.
To find the area.
What is percentage?Percentage, a relative value indicating hundredth parts of any quantity.
Given that:
Let
r = area devoted to residential use
This variable is some positive real number, and it represents the area in acres.
This means the expression r-7200 represents the area for business use
Note the jump from 25% to 65% is 65/25 = 2.6, meaning that we multiply by 2.6 when going from the business area to the residential area.
To multiply by 2.6 to go from r-7200 to r
The equation is
2.6(r-7200) = r
because it's effectively saying
2.6*(business area) = residential area
--------------------------
Let's isolate r
2.6(r-7200) = r
2.6r-2.6*7200 = r
2.6r - 18720 = r
2.6r - r = 18720
1.6r = 18720
r = 18720/(1.6)
r = 11700
We'll use 11700 acres for the residential portion.
And also r-7200 = 11700-7200 = 4500 acres are set aside for the business district.
The largest region (residential) uses 11700 acres of land.
Note the jump from 10% to 65% involves a multiplier of 6.5 because 65/10 = 6.5
So if g is the amount of government land used, then,
6.5g = r
6.5g = 11700
g = 11700/(6.5)
g = 1800
So, the area, in acres, devoted to government use is 1800.

Problem 4a
The instructions are incomplete. You set up the recursive formula, but didn't ask any question about said formula.
I'll assume that your teacher wants you to list out a few terms. I'll list out the first five terms.
The notation a_1 = 4 is the same as writing [tex]a_1 = 4[/tex] where the '1' is a subscript. It tells us that the first term is 4.
The nth term a_n or [tex]a_n[/tex] is defined as such
[tex]a_n = 2*(1/3 + a_{n-1})\\\\[/tex]
Notice how if we replaced n with 2, then we get
[tex]a_n = 2*(1/3 + a_{n-1})\\\\a_2 = 2*(1/3 + a_{2-1})\\\\a_2 = 2*(1/3 + a_1)\\\\[/tex]
So the second term is directly tied to the first term, or it is dependent on it.

[tex]a_2 = 2*(1/3 + a_1)\\\\a_2 = 2*(1/3 + 4)\\\\a_2 = 2*(1/3 + 12/3)\\\\a_2 = 2*(13/3)\\\\a_2 = 26/3\\\\[/tex]
So the second term is 26/3.
As you can guess, the third term is going to be found in a similar fashion
[tex]a_n = 2*(1/3 + a_{n-1})\\\\a_3 = 2*(1/3 + a_{3-1})\\\\a_3 = 2*(1/3 + a_2)\\\\a_3 = 2*(1/3 + 26/3)\\\\a_3 = 2*(27/3)\\\\a_3 = 2*(9)\\\\a_3 = 18\\\\[/tex]
So 18 is the third term.
We'll repeat for n = 4 to get the fourth term.
[tex]a_n = 2*(1/3 + a_{n-1})\\\\a_4 = 2*(1/3 + a_{4-1})\\\\a_4 = 2*(1/3 + a_3)\\\\a_4 = 2*(1/3 + 18)\\\\a_4 = 2*(1/3 + 54/3)\\\\a_4 = 2*(55/3)\\\\a_4 = 110/3\\\\[/tex]
The fourth term is 110/3.
Lastly, we'll plug in n = 5
[tex]a_n = 2*(1/3 + a_{n-1})\\\\a_5 = 2*(1/3 + a_{5-1})\\\\a_5 = 2*(1/3 + a_4)\\\\a_5 = 2*(1/3 + 110/3)\\\\a_5 = 2*(111/3)\\\\a_5 = 2*(37)\\\\a_5 = 74\\\\[/tex]
The fifth term is 74.
Answer: The first five terms are 4, 26/3, 18, 110/3, 74==============================================================
Problem 4b
Again, the instructions are missing. I'll assume the same thing as problem 4a.
[tex]a_1 = 6[/tex] is the first term
Plug n = 2 into the first equation to get
[tex]a_n = \frac{n}{a_{n-1}}\\\\a_2 = \frac{2}{a_{2-1}}\\\\a_2 = \frac{2}{a_{1}}\\\\a_2 = \frac{2}{6}\\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{3}\\\\[/tex]
The second term is 1/3.
Repeat for n = 3
[tex]a_n = \frac{n}{a_{n-1}}\\\\a_3 = \frac{3}{a_{3-1}}\\\\a_3 = \frac{3}{a_{2}}\\\\a_3 = \frac{3}{1/3}\\\\a_3 = 3\div\frac{1}{3}\\\\a_3 = 3\times\frac{3}{1}\\\\a_3 = 9\\\\[/tex]
The third term is 9
Repeat for n = 4.
[tex]a_n = \frac{n}{a_{n-1}}\\\\a_4 = \frac{4}{a_{4-1}}\\\\a_4 = \frac{4}{a_{3}}\\\\a_4 = \frac{4}{9}\\\\[/tex]
The fourth term is 4/9
Repeat for n = 5
[tex]a_n = \frac{n}{a_{n-1}}\\\\a_5 = \frac{5}{a_{5-1}}\\\\a_5 = \frac{5}{a_{4}}\\\\a_5 = 5 \div a_{4}\\\\a_5 = 5 \div \frac{4}{9}\\\\a_5 = 5 \times \frac{9}{4}\\\\a_5 = \frac{5}{1} \times \frac{9}{4}\\\\a_5 = \frac{5*9}{1*4}\\\\a_5 = \frac{45}{4}\\\\[/tex]
Answer: The first five terms are 6, 1/3, 9, 4/9, 45/4==============================================================
Problem 4c
I'm not much help here for this problem. Not only are the instructions missing, but it's not clear how this sequence is set up. If I had to guess, it's somehow recursively defined. How exactly, I'm not sure. I would ask your teacher for any clarification.
