The 12th term of the arithmetic sequence is 10.5. The 18th term of this sequence is 13.5. Find the common difference and the first term

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

common difference is 0.5

first term is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula for the nth term of an ap Tn=a+(n-1)d

T12=10.5

T18=13.5

therefore come up with two equations

T12=a+(12-1)d

10.5=a+11d(1st equation)

T18=a+(18-1)d

13.5=a+17d(2nd equation)

then solve both as a simultaneous equation

a+11d=10.5

a+17d=13.5

-6d/-6=-3/-6

d=0.5

use one of the equations to find the first term

a+11(0.5)=10.5

a+5.5=10.5

a=10.5-5.5

a=5

A candidate for one of Ohio's two U.S. Senate seats wishes to compare her support among registered voters in the northern half of the state with her support among registered voters in the southern half of the state. A random sample of 2000 registered voters in the northern half of the state is selected, of which 1062 support the candidate. Additionally, a random sample of 2000 registered voters in the southern half of the state is selected, of which 900 support the candidate. A 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of registered voters that support this candidate between the northern and southern halves of the state is:

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of registered voters that support this candidate between the northern and southern halves of the state is (0.05, 0.112).

Step-by-step explanation:

Before building the confidence interval, the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables is explained.

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.

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

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.

Northern half:

1062 out of 2000, so:

[tex]p_N = \frac{1062}{2000} = 0.531[/tex]

[tex]s_N = \sqrt{\frac{0.531*0.469}{2000}} = 0.0112[/tex]

Southern half:

900 out of 2000, so:

[tex]p_S = \frac{900}{2000} = 0.45[/tex]

[tex]s_S = \sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{2000}} = 0.0111[/tex]

Distribution of the difference:

[tex]p = p_N - p_S = 0.531 - 0.45 = 0.081[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_N^2 + s_S^2} = \sqrt{0.0112^2 + 0.0111^2} = 0.0158[/tex]

Confidence interval:

The confidence interval is:

[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

The lower bound of the interval is:

[tex]p - zs = 0.081 - 1.96*0.0158 = 0.05[/tex]

The upper bound of the interval is:

[tex]p + zs = 0.081 + 1.96*0.0158 = 0.112[/tex]

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportion of registered voters that support this candidate between the northern and southern halves of the state is (0.05, 0.112).

A student said that since -9 is less than 4, then |-9| is less than |4|. Is the student correct? Explain why or why not.

Answers

No, that is not true. The absolute value is the distance a number is from zero. The distance of -9 to 0 is 9. 9 is not less than 4.

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

They are not correct because the "| |" signs mean absolute value. What ever is inside the signs must be positive. So -9 becomes 9 and 9 is greater than 4. So, the student is not correct.

13. A pair of shoes sell for $27 per pair. There is a sale tomorrow on shoes offering two pairs for $45.
How much will 3 pairs of shoes cost today?

Answers

Answer:

$72

Step-by-step explanation:

The sale offers 2 pair of shoes for $45, but the price is same for 1 pair of shoes.

The cost of 3 pair of shoes

= The sale price of 2 pair of shoes + Regular price of 1 pair of shoes

= $45 + $27

= $72

So, 3 pairs of shoes will cost $72 today.

Given two consecutive even integers whose sum is 186, find the smaller of the two integers.

Answers

Answer:

92 is the smaller even integer

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first even integer

x+2 = second even integer

(x) + (x+2) = 186

Combine like terms

2x+2 = 186

Subtract 2 from each side

2x+2-2 =186-2

2x = 184

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 184/2

x = 92

x+2 = 94

Step-by-step explanation:

let,two even consecutive number be x and x+2

now,according to the question

x+x+2=186

or, 2x=186-2

or, 2x= 184

or, x= 184/2

:- x= 92

Hence,

x=92 and x+2= 94

two even consecutive numbers are 92 and 94

70x=360-1+2+1-82

70x=280

x=4

A=25x+1=101

Answer:

m∠A = 101*

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠A = (25x + 1)*

m∠B = 82*

m∠C = (25x - 2)*

m∠D = (20x - 1)*

Find m∠A. Key: solve for x

(25x + 1) + 82 + (25x - 2) + (20x - 1) = 360*

Subtract 82 from both sides

(25x + 1) + (25x - 2) + (20x - 1) = 278*


x = 4

Now substitute x for 4 in A measure

(25x + 1)

(25(4) + 1)

(100 + 1)

base = 18.89

legs = 16.89

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 68 = 180

2x + 68 = 180

2x = 112

x = 56

The altitude = 14

Tan(56) = opposite / adjacent

adjacent = base

opposite = altitude

Tan(56) = opposite / base                Multiply both sides by the base

base * Tan(56) = opposite                Divide by Tan(56)

base = opposite / Tan(56)

base = 14/tan(56)

base = 9.443

The base is actually twice this length because the altitude lands on the midpoint of the opposite side and is perpendicular to the third side (base).

base = 18.886  

Legs are the hypotenuse formed by 1/2 the base and the attitude.

Sin(56) = opposite / hypotenuse

Sin(56) = altitude / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = altitude / Sin(56)

hypotenuse = 14 / sin(56)

hypotenuse = 16.887

Rounded

base = 18.89

legs = 16.89

Answers

Answer:  -4/3

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

Explanation:

Let's square both sides and do a bit of algebra to get the following.

[tex]\sin(x) + \cos(x) = 1/5\\\\\left(\sin(x) + \cos(x)\right)^2 = \left(1/5\right)^2\\\\\sin^2(x) + 2\sin(x)\cos(x) + \cos^2(x) = 1/25\\\\\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x) + 2\sin(x)\cos(x) = 1/25\\\\1 + 2\sin(x)\cos(x) = 1/25\\\\\sin(2x) = 1/25 - 1\\\\\sin(2x) = 1/25 - 25/25\\\\\sin(2x) = -24/25\\\\[/tex]

Now apply the pythagorean trig identity to determine cos(2x) based on this. You should find that cos(2x) = -7/25

This then means tan(2x) = sin(2x)/cos(2x) = 24/7.

From here, you'll use this trig identity

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

which is the same as solving

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

where w = tan(x)

Plug in tan(2x) = 24/7 and solve for w to get w = -4/3 or w = 3/4

So either tan(x) = -4/3 or tan(x) = 3/4.

If we were to numerically solve the original equation for x, then we'd get roughly x = 2.21; then notice how tan(2.21) = -1.345 approximately when your calculator is in radian mode.

Since tan(x) < 0 in this case, we go for tan(x) = -4/3
