Answer:A. - 512

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how I solved this problem:

-First take -128 and divide it by 16

(You should get -8)

-Then take -8 and cube root it

(You should get 2)

You have found your multiplier, which is 2.

After this you can start from -128 and multiply by 2, 2 times to get to the 8th term which is -512.

me know if you have any further questions.

Answer: a. A point estimate for p is 0.597 .

b. The 95% confidence interval for p.

Lower limit = 0.48

Upper limit = 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size of professional actors : n= 67

Number of extroverts : x= 40

Let p represent the proportion of all actors who are extroverts.

a. The point estimate for p = sample proportion = $\hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}$

$=\dfrac{40}{67}=0.597$

b. Confidence interval for population proportion :

$\hat{p}\pm z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

Since the critical value for 95% confidence interval is 1.96 , so the 95% confidence interval for p would be

$0.597\pm (1.96)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.597(1-0.597)}{67}}$

$0.597\pm (1.96)\sqrt{0.0036}$

$0.597\pm (1.96)(0.06)$

$0.597\pm 0.1176$

$(0.597-0.1176,\ 0.597+0.1176)\\\\=(0.4794,\ 0.7146)\\\\\approx(0.48,\ 0.71)$

In the 95% confidence interval for p.

Lower limit = 0.48

Upper limit = 0.71

Canteen A, canteen B and Canteen C repeat their lunch means every 12 days, 8days and 10 days respectively. All three canteens se

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

120 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Canteen A = 12 days

Canteen B = 8 days

Canteen C = 10 days

How many days later will all three canteen serving noodles soup again?

To find the number of days all 3 canteens will serve food again, find the lowest common multiples of all 3 canteens

Canteen A = 12 days

34, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144

Canteen B = 8 days

16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120

Canteen C = 10 days

20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130

The lowest common multiple of 12 days, 8 days and 10 days is 120 days

The next day all 3 canteens will serve soup together again is the next 120 days

Assume ABC DEF. If mA = 70 , mB = 47 , and mC = 63 , what is the measure of F? A. 63 B. 70 C. 47 D. Cannot be determined

kipiarov [429]

I'm assuming that the full statement is ΔABC is congruent to ΔDEF.

Given:
m∠A = 70
m∠B = 47
m∠C = 63

Since both triangles are congruent, the corresponding angles in ΔDEF also has the same measure as those in ΔABC.

m∠D = 70
m∠E = 47
m∠F = 63

The measure of angle F is 63.

An up-and-coming artist has 85 followers on Twitter and this number doubles every week. In what week will the artist first reach

Alik [6]

Answer:

5.8 , which approximately is 6 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

the first method is the short one since u just have to double the 85 then divide to 1000.

1000 ÷ ( 85 × 2)

1000 ÷ 170 = 5.882,,,,,. round off to whole number to get 6.

the second method is the addition method.

we start by 85 then keep doubling 85 for every week........inshort.......we add 170 to each weeks number to get the number of followers for the following week.

85 ⇒ 170 ⇒ 340 ⇒ 510 ⇒ 680 ⇒ 850 ⇒ 1020.

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th week.

u notice that we add (85×2), 170, to get the following week's number of followers..

in 5 weeks..... the number of followers is yet to get to 1000.

when u divide, u get 5.8.....,and it is not logic to say 5.8823....weeks

since she reaches 1000 followers in the 6th week.......though there is an addition,,,, it is the most appropriate answer.

If w= the weight of trout. Which algebraic expression represents the phrase below?

konstantin123 [22]

Product means multiplication.

Given w= weight of a trout.

So, we need to convert "product of 16 and weight of trout: w " into an algebraic expression.

So, product of 16 and w can be written as 16*w or simply 16w.

Hence, B is the correct choice.
