Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The information in the question can be used to form an equation which goes thus:

2nd term = a + d = 4 ...... i

5th term = a + 4d = 22 ....... ii

From equation i

a = 4 - d ........ iii

Put equation iii into ii

a + 4d = 22

(4 - d) + 4d = 22

4 - d + 4d = 22

4 + 3d = 22

3d = 22 - 4

3d = 18

d = 18/3

d = 6

Commons difference is 6

Since a + d = 4

a + 6 = 4

a = 4 - 6

a = -2

The first term is -2

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Total number of trials is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Me and my friend have a hula hoop competition. I win 3 out of every 7 trials. My friend wins 5 more trials than me.

To find : How many trials are in the competition?

Solution :

Probability of my winning is 3 out of 7 trials $=\frac{3}{7}$

and probability of my friend's winning is $=1-\frac{3}{7}=\frac{4}{7}$

Let there be n numbers of trials.

Therefore, my score after n trials $=\frac{3n}{7}$

and my friend's score after n trials $=\frac{4n}{7}$

Now, the number of trials my friend won more than me is

$\frac{4n}{7}-\frac{3n}{7}=\frac{n}{7}$

We know, that my friend won 5 more trials than me so comparing the actual and given we get,

$\frac{n}{7}=5\\n=7\times5=35$

Therefore, total number of trials is 35.

We can also verify our answer by placing value of n,

After 35 trials I will win $\frac{3\times 35}{7}=15$ trials

and my friend will win $\frac{4\times 35}{7}=20$ trials.

Hence, my friend won 5 more trials than me.

Robert was able to travel 292.0 miles in 4.000 hours and used 38 liters of gasoline. What was robert's speed in feet per second?

torisob [31]

Distance traveled by Robert = 292 miles

Time taken by Robert to cover this distance = 4 hours.

Now converting miles in feet.

1 mile = 5280 feet

so, 292 feet = 292 * 5280 = 1541760 feet

Now converting 4 hours in seconds.

1 hour = 3600 seconds

so, 4 hours have 3600 * 4 = 14400 seconds.

Now the question says, we have to find the speed in feet per second

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

equals,

$\frac{1541760}{14400}$

= 107.067 feet per second

Confidence interval is written in the form, sample mean ± margin of error

The sample mean is an estimator for the population mean. The confidence level is used to express how confident we are that the population mean is within the calculated confidence interval. The lower limit of the given confidence interval is 2.619 hours/day while the upper limit of the confidence interval is 3.401 hours/day

Therefore, the INVALID interpretations of the 95% confidence interval are

A. About 95% of all Cal Poly students spend between 2.619 and 3.401 hours/day watching TV.

B. There is a 95% chance that, on average, Cal Poly students spend between 2.619 and 3.401 hours/day watching TV.

D. In the long run, 95% of the sample means will be between 2.619 and 3.401 hours.

E. None of the above.
