Answer:

480, 484, and 1452

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the next three numbers to the sequence, we would first have to find the pattern between all of the numbers. Lets look at the first two numbers. 12 is 4 multiplied by 3. 12 is also 4 added with 8. Lets see if any of these work for the other sets of numbers:

4 × 3 = 12 Good

4 + 8 = 12 Good

12 × 3 ≠ 16

12 + 8 ≠ 16

16 × 3 = 48 Good

16 + 8 ≠ 48

48 × 3 ≠ 52

48 + 8 ≠ 52

52 × 3 = 156 Good

52 + 8 ≠ 156

156 × 3 ≠ 160

156 + 8 ≠ 160

So from what we can see, only the multiply by 3 pattern works more than once, but it seems to only work every other pair of numbers. The pattern may be alternating, so lets try to find the pattern between the other pairs of numbers that the multiply by 3 pattern does not work for.

12 and 16

48 and 52

156 and 160

You should be able to see here that the pattern for these pairs of numbers is adding 4. So the pattern for the entire set of numbers alternates between multiply by 3 and add 4. Knowing this, we can find the next three numbers

So right before the first missing number there was an add 4. So this time we must multiply by 3 to find the first missing number.

160 × 3 = 480

So the first missing number is 480. Now we add 4 to find the next missing number.

140 + 4 = 484

So the second missing number is 484. Now to find the final missing number, we multiply by 3 again.

484 × 3 = 1452

So the third missing number is 1452.

The three missing numbers are 480, 484, and 1452.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Gnom [1K]

Answer: We are 95% confident that the mean income for all residents of this city is between $26700 and $35400.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a 95% confidence interval given an interval of values that we can be 95% sure , that it contains the true mean of the population, not 95% of data lies in it.

Given : A researcher is estimating the mean income of residents in a large city. The income variable is usually skewed to the right. She collects a random sample of 25 people.

The resulting 95% confidence interval is ($26700, $35400).

Then, valid conclusion will be : We are 95% confident that the mean income for all residents of this city is between $26700 and $35400.

The owner of a chain of supermarkets notices that there is a positive correlation between the sales of beer and the sales of ice

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

D. the sale of beer and ice cream may both be affected by another variable such as the outside temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. There is no evidence to indicate that the positive correlation observed is an error.

B. Even though there is a positive correlation between beer and ice cream sales, there is no evident cause and consequence relationship.

C. The relationship isn't necessarily linear.

D. It is plausible to assume that the sales of beer and ice cream are both affected by another variable like temperature. Both of the products are usually consumed cold and should see an increase in sales during warmer seasons and a decrease in sales during colder seasons.

If pentagon ABCDE is rotated 180 degrees around the origin to create pentagon A’B’C’D’E’, what is the ordered pair of point A’?

Semmy [17]

Answer:

(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is at (-2,4)

Rule of a 180° rotation about the origin: (x,y) --> (-x,-y)

Using the rule, (-2,4) will become (2,-4).

A' should be (2,-4) or Option A.

Direct Mailing Company sells computers and computer parts by mail. The company claims that more than 90% of all orders are maile

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

We conclude that less than or equal to 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received which means the company's claim is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the company claims that more than 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received. The quality control department at the company often takes samples to check if this claim is valid.

A recently taken sample of 175 orders showed that 161 of them were mailed within 72 hours.

Let p = percentage of all orders that are mailed within 72 hours.

SO, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p $\leq$ 90% {means that less than or equal to 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : p > 90% {means that more than 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z proportion statistics;

T.S. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = proportion of orders that were mailed within 72 hours in a sample of 175 = $\frac{161}{175}\times 100$ = 92%

n = sample of orders = 175

So, test statistics = $\frac{0.92-0.90}{{\sqrt{\frac{0.92(1-0.92)}{175} } } } }$

= 0.975

The value of the test statistics is 0.975.

Now at 1% significance level, the z table gives critical value of 2.3263 for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of z as 0.975 < 2.3263, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that less than or equal to 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received which means the company's claim is not true.
