Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

the n-ieme term is : An=A1×r^(n-1)

A1 the first term r : the common ratio

in this exercice : A1 =2 r = 32/-8=-8/2 = - 4 n = 12

A12=2×(-4)^(12-1) = -2×4^11 because : ((-4)^(11)= - 4^11

Alexus [3.1K]

Given:

6 out of 2000 students quit community college due to serious health issues.
$10,000 insurance company offer
$60 per year

Based on the data, there are 6 students who will be given the $10,000 insurance per year. So they need

6 * 10,000 = $60,000 to make a break-even on their insurance offer

If a student pays $60 per year, they should have

$60,000 / $60 = 1,000 students who will pay per year to reach the break-even mark of their investment. If the number of students will exceed 1,000, the company will begin to earn.

Which expression has the same GCF as 15x2 - 21x?

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$15x^2 +21 x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

$15x^2 -21 x$

We can find the GCF with the following steps.

1. Find the GCF for the numerical part 15 and -21

The factors for 15 are : 1,3,5,15

The factors for -21 are -21,-7,-3,-1,1,3,7,21

And the common factors are 1,3

The GCF for the numerical part is 3*1 = 3

2. Find the GCF for the variable

The factors of x^2 are : x*x

The factors of x are: x

The common factors are x for this case, so then the GCF for the variable part is x

3. Multiply the two results from steps 1 and 2

GCf= 3*x = 3x

If we consider the new expression:

$15x^2 +21x$

We can find the GCF with the following steps.

1. Find the GCF for the numerical part 15 and -21

The factors for 15 are : 1,3,5,15

The factors for -21 are 1,3,7,21

And the common factors are 1,3

The GCF for the numerical part is 3*1 = 3

2. Find the GCF for the variable

The factors of x^2 are : x*x

The factors of x are: x

The common factors are x for this case, so then the GCF for the variable part is x

3. Multiply the two results from steps 1 and 2

GCf= 3*x = 3x

And as we can see both GCF are equal. So then we satisfy the condition required.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 11.3% of U.S. workers belong to unions (BLS website, January 2014). Suppose a s

andrezito [222]

Answer:

a) Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.113$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.113$

b) $z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing we got:

$z=\frac{0.13 -0.113}{\sqrt{\frac{0.113(1-0.113)}{400}}}=1.074$

The p value for this case would be given by:

$p_v =P(z>1.074)=0.141$

c) For this case we see that the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion workers belonged to unions is significantly higher than 11.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=400 represent the random sample taken

X=52 represent the workers belonged to unions

$\hat p=\frac{52}{400}=0.13$ estimated proportion of workers belonged to unions

$p_o=0.113$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value

Part a

We want to test if the true proportion of interest is higher than 0.113 so then the system of hypothesis are.:

Null hypothesis: $p \leq 0.113$

Alternative hypothesis: $p > 0.113$

Part b

The statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing we got:

$z=\frac{0.13 -0.113}{\sqrt{\frac{0.113(1-0.113)}{400}}}=1.074$

The p value for this case would be given by:

$p_v =P(z>1.074)=0.141$

Part c

For this case we see that the p value is higher than the significance level of 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion workers belonged to unions is significantly higher than 11.3%
