Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence has a common difference d between consecutive terms.

Sequence a

30 - 10 = 20

90 - 30 = 60

270 - 90 = 180

This sequence is not arithmetic

Sequence b

200 - 100 = 100

300 - 200 = 100

400 - 300 = 100

This sequence is arithmetic but is finite, that is last term is 400

Sequence c

300 - 150 = 150

450 - 300 = 150

600 - 450 = 150

This sequence is arithmetic and infinite, indicated by ........ within set

Sequence d

2 - 1 = 1

4 - 2 = 2

8 - 4 = 4

This sequence is not arithmetic

Thus the infinite arithmetic sequence is sequence c

Answer:

2 * (x + 2) = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the unknown number x. "A number and 2" means that we need to add the numbers, therefore it would be x + 2. "Twice" means 2 times a quantity so "twice a number and 2" would be 2 * (x + 2). "Is" denotes that we need to use the "=" sign and because 50 comes after "is", we know that 50 goes on the right side of the "=" so the final answer is 2 * (x + 2) = 50.

Answer:

There are 6566 ways to choose 22 croissants with at least one plain croissant, at least two cherry croissants, at least three chocolate croissants, at least one almond croissant, at least two apple croissants, and no more than three broccoli croissants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are 5 types of croissants:

plain croissants

cherry croissants

chocolate croissants

almond croissant

apple croissants

broccoli croissants

To find:

to choose 22 croissants with:

at least one plain croissant

at least two cherry croissants

at least three chocolate croissants

at least one almond croissant

at least two apple croissants

no more than three broccoli croissants

Solution:

First we select

At least one plain croissant to lets say we first select 1 plain croissant, 2 cherry croissants, 3 chocolate croissants, 1 almond croissant, 2 apple croissants

So

1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2  = 9

Total croissants = 22  

So 9 croissants are already selected and 13 remaining croissants are still needed to be selected as 22-9 = 13, without selecting more than three broccoli croissants.

Complete Question

Pennsylvania Refining Company is studying the relationship between the pump price of gasoline and the number of gallons sold. For a sample of 14 stations last Tuesday, the correlation was 0.65.At the 0.01 significance level Can the company conclude that the correlation is positive

Answer:

Yes the company conclude that the correlation is positive

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  sample size is  n =  14

    The correlation is  r =  0.65

The  null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : r < 0[/tex]

The  alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_1 : r > 0[/tex]

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically evaluated as

       [tex]Sr = \sqrt{1- r}[/tex]

       [tex]Sr = \sqrt{1- 0.65}[/tex]

       [tex]Sr = 0.616[/tex]

The  degree of freedom for the one-tail test is

       [tex]df = n- 2[/tex]

        [tex]df = 14- 2[/tex]

        [tex]df = 12[/tex]

The standard error is evaluated as

        [tex]SE = \frac{0.616}{ \sqrt{12} }[/tex]

        [tex]SE =0.1779[/tex]

The test statistics  is evaluated as

      [tex]t = \frac{r }{SE}[/tex]

       [tex]t = \frac{0.65 }{0.1779}[/tex]

        [tex]t = 3.654[/tex]

The p-value of of  t is obtained from the z table, the value is  

        [tex]p-value = P(t < 3.654) = 0.00012909[/tex]

Given that [tex]p-value < \alpha[/tex]  then we reject the null hypothesis

           Hence the company can conclude that the correlation is positive

Answer:

A. 5:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the question mentions twelfths of a pie, it is easier to say each pie has 12 pieces or 36 total pieces ordered from the 3 pies. Ty ate 5 and Rob ate 15 which is 3 times more than Ty. A total of 20 pieces have been eaten from the 36 you started with. Eaten = 20 and Remaining = 16. So the ratio is 20:16 which is simplified to 5:4.

The probability that the 4 oldest people in the group were selected is based on combinatorics is 0.00303 or 0.303%.

Given that:

Find how many ways the 4 oldest people can be selected from the group.

Since the 4 oldest people are already determined, there is only 1 way to select them.

To calculate the probability, to determine the total number of ways to select 4 people from the group of 11. This can be found using the combination formula:

Number of ways to choose k items from n items :

C(n,k) = n! / (k!(n-k)!)

Calculate the total number of ways to select 4 people from the group:

Plugging n and k value from given data:

C(11,4 )= 11! / (4!(11-4)!)

On simplifications gives:

C(11, 4) = 330.

Calculate the probability:

Probability = Number of ways 4 oldest people selected / Total number of ways to select 4 people

Plugging the given data:

Probability = 1 / 330

Probability ≈ 0.00303 or 0.303%.

Therefore, the  probability that the 4 oldest people in the group were selected is based on combinatorics is 0.00303 or 0.303%.

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This blue line seems to be horizontal, and so a line perpendicular would have to be vertical. The only vertical line that passes through (2, 6) would be x = 2.

The equation of the line perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2, 6) is x = 2.

Equation of a line in slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept, which is the y coordinate of the point where it touches the Y axis.

Given is a line that passes through the points (-8, -4) and (8, -4).

This line is parallel to the X axis.

A line parallel to X axis has the equation y = b.

The y coordinate is -4 throughout the line.

So equation of the line is y = -4.

A line perpendicular to the given line will be parallel to Y axis.

Parallel lines to Y axis has the equation of the form x = a.

Line passes through the point (2, 6).

x coordinate will be 2 throughout.

So the equation of the perpendicular line is x = 2.

Hence the required equation is x = 2.

Answer:

The expression = [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]

Value of the expression = 4 (when y is 20)

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient simply means the result you get when you divide two numbers. Thus, dividend (the numerator) ÷ divisor (the denominator) = quotient.

From the information given to us here,

the dividend = 40

the divisor = y - 16

The quotient = [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]

There, the expression would be [tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]

Find the value of the expression when y = 20.

Plug in 20 for y in the expression and evaluate.

[tex] \frac{40}{y - 16} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{40}{20 - 16} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{40}{4} = 10 [/tex]

The value of the expression, when y is 20, is 4.

Answer:

x = 200.674

Step-by-step explanation:

tan∅ = opposite/adjacent

Step 1: Find length of z

tan70° = 119/z

ztan70° = 119

z = 119/tan70°

z = 43.3125

Step 2: Find length z + x (denoted as y)

tan26° = 119/y

ytan26° = 119

y = 119/tan26°

y = 243.986

Step 3: Find x

y - z = x

243.986 - 43.3125 = x

x = 200.674

Answer:

There is not sufficient sample evidence to support the claim that the population mean is not equal to 88.9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following hypothesis below;

Let [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean.

So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : [tex]\mu[/tex] = 88.9      {means that the population mean is equal to 88.9}

Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : [tex]\mu\neq[/tex] 88.9     {means that the population mean is different from 88.9}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample t-test statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation;

                             T.S.  =  [tex]\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }[/tex]  ~  [tex]t_n_-_1[/tex]

where, [tex]\bar X[/tex] = sample mean = 81.3

             s = sample standard deviation = 13.4

            n = sample size = 7

So, the test statistics =  [tex]\frac{81.3-88.9}{\frac{13.4}{\sqrt{7} } }[/tex]   ~ [tex]t_6[/tex]

                                     =  -1.501

The value of t-test statistics is -1.501.

Also, the P-value of the test statistics is given by;

                    P-value = P([tex]t_6[/tex] < -1.501) = 0.094

Since the P-value of our test statistics is more than the level of significance as 0.094 > 0.01, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will not fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the population mean is equal to 88.9.

The chi - square test can be [tex]\approx[/tex] 0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data :

The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

Null hypothesis: The number of customers does  follow  a uniform distribution

Alternative hypothesis: The number of customers does not  follow  a uniform distribution

We learnt that: Carl recorded the number of customers who visited his new store during the week:

Day              Customers

Monday               17

Tuesday              13

Wednesday         14

Thursday              16

The above given data was the observed value.

However, the question progress by stating that : He expected to have 15 customers each day.

Now; we can have an expected value for each customer  as:

Supplementary

Step-by-step explanation:

When the sum of 2 angles equal 180°, they are called supplementary angles. And they also form a straight line together.

<AOB (40°) and <BOC (140°) are not equal angles.

<AOB (40°) and <BOC (140°) are not complementary angles. Complementary angles add up to equal 90°.

<AOB (40°) and <BOC (140°) are not vertical angles. Vertical angles are opposite angles formed when two lines intersect.

<AOB (40°) and <BOC (140°) are supplementary angles. They add up to equal 180°.

Answer:

The frequency distribution does not appear to be normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

S = {0.38 , 0 , 0.22 , 0.06 , 0 , 0 , 0.21 , 0 , 0.53 , 0.18 , 0 , 0 , 0.02 , 0 , 0 , 0.24 , 0 , 0 , 0.01 , 0 , 0 , 1.28 , 0.24 , 0 , 0.19 , 0.53 , 0 , 0, 0.24 , 0}

It is provided that the first lower class limit should be 0.00 and the class width should be 0.20.

The frequency distribution table is as follows:

Class Interval  Count

 0.00 - 0.19            21

 0.20 - 0.39             6

 0.40 - 0.59             2

 0.60 - 0.79             0

 0.80 - 0.99             0

  1.00 - 1 . 19             0

  1.20 - 1. 39             1

The frequency distribution does not appear to be normal. This is because the frequencies does not start and end at almost equivalent points and the mid-distribution does not consist of the highest frequency.

Thus, the frequency distribution does not appear to be normal.

Answer:

  A.  1,162.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the next two terms and add them up:

  S5 = 600 +300 +150 +75 +37.5 = 1162.5 . . . . matches choice A

================================================

Explanation:

{600, 300, 150, ...} is a geometric sequence starting at a = 600 and has common ratio r = 1/2 = 0.5, this means we cut each term in half to get the next term. We could do this to generate five terms and then add them up. Or we could use the formula below with n = 5

Sn = a*(1-r^n)/(1-r)

S5 = 600*(1-0.5^5)/(1-0.5)

S5 = 1,162.5

-----------

Check:

first five terms = {600, 300, 150, 75, 37.5}

S5 = sum of the first five terms

S5 = 600+300+150+75+37.5

S5 = 1,162.5

Because n = 5 is relatively small, we can quickly confirm the answer. With larger values of n, a spreadsheet is the better option.

Since the bag contains more red marbles than any other color, you are most likely to pick a red marble

Answer:

(a) P(E∪F)= 0.8

(b) P(Ec)= 0.4

(c) P(Fc)= 0.7

(d) P(Ec∩F)= 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) It is called a union of two events A and B, and A ∪ B (read as "A union B") is designated to the event formed by all the elements of A and all of B. The event A∪B occurs when they do A or B or both.

If the events are not mutually exclusive, the union of A and B is the sum of the probabilities of the events together, from which the probability of the intersection of the events will be subtracted:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

In this case:

P(E∪F)= P(E) + P(F) - P(E∩F)

Being P(E) = 0.6, P(F) = 0.3 and P(E ∩ F) = 0.1

P(E∪F)= 0.6 + 0.3 - 0.1

P(E∪F)= 0.8

(b)  The complement of an event A is defined as the set that contains all the elements of the sample space that do not belong to A.  The Complementary Rule establishes that the sum of the probabilities of an event and its complement must be equal to 1. So, if P (A) is the probability that an event A occurs, then the probability that A does NOT occur is  P (Ac) = 1- P (A)

In this case: P(Ec)= 1 - P(E)

Then: P(Ec)= 1 - 0.6

P(Ec)= 0.4

(c) In this case: P(Fc)= 1 - P(F)

Then: P(Fc)= 1 - 0.3

P(Fc)= 0.7

(d)  The intersection of two events A and B, designated as A ∩ B (read as "A intersection B") is the event formed by the elements that belong simultaneously to A and B. The event A ∩ B occurs when A and B do at once.

As mentioned, the complementary rule states that the sum of the probabilities of an event and its complement must equal 1. Then:

P(Ec intersection F) + P(E intersection F) = P(F)

P(Ec intersection F) + 0.1 = 0.3

P(Ec intersection F)= 0.2

Being:

P(Ec∪F)= P(Ec) + P(F) - P(Ec∩F)

you get:

P(Ec∩F)= P(Ec) + P(F) - P(Ec∪F)

So:

P(Ec∩F)= 0.4 + 0.3 - 0.2

P(Ec∩F)= 0.8

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Spherical coordinate describes a location of a point in space: one distance (ρ) and two angles (Ф,θ).To transform cartesian coordinates into spherical coordinates:

[tex]\rho = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}\frac{z}{\rho}[/tex]

For angle θ:

Calculating:

a) (4,2,-4)

[tex]\rho = \sqrt{4^{2}+2^{2}+(-4)^{2}}[/tex] = 6

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{-4}{6})[/tex]

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{-2}{3})[/tex]

For θ, choose 1st option:

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{2}{4})[/tex]

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

b) (0,8,15)

[tex]\rho = \sqrt{0^{2}+8^{2}+(15)^{2}}[/tex] = 17

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{15}{17})[/tex]

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

The angle θ gives a tangent that doesn't exist. Analysing table of sine, cosine and tangent: θ = [tex]\frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

c) (√2,1,1)

[tex]\rho = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^{2}+1^{2}+1^{2}}[/tex] = 2

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

[tex]\phi[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\pi}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

d) (−2√3,−2,3)

[tex]\rho = \sqrt{(-2\sqrt{3} )^{2}+(-2)^{2}+3^{2}}[/tex] = 5

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1}(\frac{3}{5})[/tex]

Since x < 0, use 2nd option:

[tex]\theta = \pi + tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \pi + \frac{\pi}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}[/tex]

Cilindrical coordinate describes a 3 dimension space: 2 distances (r and z) and 1 angle (θ). To express cartesian coordinates into cilindrical:

[tex]r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}[/tex]

Angle θ is the same as spherical coordinate;

z = z

Calculating:

a) (4,2,-4)

[tex]r=\sqrt{4^{2}+2^{2}}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{20}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

z = -4

b) (0, 8, 15)

[tex]r=\sqrt{0^{2}+8^{2}}[/tex] = 8

[tex]\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

z = 15

c) (√2,1,1)

[tex]r=\sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^{2}+1^{2}}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}[/tex]

z = 1

d) (−2√3,−2,3)

[tex]r=\sqrt{(-2\sqrt{3} )^{2}+(-2)^{2}}[/tex] = 4

[tex]\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}[/tex]

z = 3
