Answer:

405.

Step-by-step explanation:

First term = a1

5th tern = a1 r^4

So a1r^4 - a1 = 400 r = 3 so:

3^4 * a1 - a1 = 400

a1(81-1) = 400

80a1 = 400

a = 5

Therefore the fifth term = 5* 3^4

= 405.

Tesla wanted to determine the average miles per kWh that their vehicles get across all models and variations. They took a sample

LiRa [457]

Answer:

$\mu_{\bar x} = \mu = E(X) =30KWh$

$\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{100}}=0.3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Solution to the problem

For this case we select a sample of n =100

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

So then the sample mean would be:

$\mu_{\bar x} = \mu = E(X) =30KWh$

And the standard deviation would be:

$\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{100}}=0.3$

The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that relates the length of a ladder, L, that leans against a wall with distance d from the base of the wall and the height h that the ladder reaches up the wall is L = StartRoot d squared + h squared EndRoot. What height on the wall will a 15-foot ladder reach if it is placed 3.5 feet from the base of a wall?

L = √d² + h²

Answer:

a=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is rendered and attached below.

Triangle WXY is an Isosceles right triangle, since WX=XY.

First, we determine the length of WY using Pythagoras Theorem.

$WY=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}\\WY=\sqrt{32}$

Since triangle WXY is Isosceles, $\angle XYW=45^\circ$

$\angle XYZ=\angle XYW+\angle WYZ\\135^\circ=45^\circ+\angle WYZ\\\angle WYZ=135^\circ-45^\circ=90^\circ$

Therefore:

Triangle WYZ is a right triangle with WZ as the hypothenuse.

Applying Pythagoras Theorem

$WZ^2=WY^2+YZ^2\\9^2=(\sqrt{32})^2+a^2\\a^2=81-32\\a^2=49\\a^2=7^2\\$Therefore: a=7$

Patient A receives 3 times the amount of a certain medication as Patient B. The two doses add to 200 milligrams. What amount of

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Patient A - 150 mg

Patient B - 50 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since patient A gets three times more, 50 times 3 is 150. 150 plus 50 is 200, therefore, patient A gets 150 mg and patient B gets 50 mg. I hope this helps :)

The New Haven High School cheerleaders got a t-shirt gun. The cheerleaders stand

nevsk [136]

Answer: the gun was held 4ft high i.e H = 4ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how high the gun was held when it was fired H;

Before firing the t-shirt up, the gun and the t-shirt are both at the same height.

Therefore,

H = h(0) i.e h(t) at t = 0

h(t) = -16t^2 + 64t + 4

H = h(0) = -16(0)^2 + 64(0) + 4

H = 4ft
