Answer:

a_{n} = - 1.5n - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sequence is arithmetic with n th term ( explicit formula

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 7.5 and d = - 9 - (- 7.5) = - 9 + 7.5 = - 1.5

a_{n} = - 7.5 - 1.5(n - 1) = - 7.5 - 1.5n + 1.5 = - 1.5n - 6

A sanitation supervisor is interested in testing to see if the mean amount of garbage per bin is different from 50. In a random
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer with explanation:

Given : Sample mean =\overline{x}=\text{48.47 pounds}

Standard deviation : \sigma=\text{ 3.1 pounds.}

Sample size : n = 36

Claim : \mu\neq50

∴ H_0:\mu=50

H_1:\mu\neq50

Since the alternative hypothesis is two tail , then the test is two tail test.

By using a z statistic and a 0.05 level of significance. Reject  H_0 if z < -1.960 or is z> 1.960.

Then , the test static for population mean is given by :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z=\dfrac{48.47-50}{\dfrac{3.1}{\sqrt{36}}}\approx-2.96

We reject H_0 since -2.96\leq -1.96. We have statistically significant evidence at \alpha=0.05 to show that the mean amount of garbage per bin is not different from 50.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 30% of California residents have adequate earthquake supplies.

a) Ramon variable X denotes the number of the california residents that have adequate earthquake insurance

B) x can take value 1 ,2 ,3 ......

C)The distribution of random variable is geometric distribution with parameter p=0.3

The pmf of geometric distribution is

P(X=x)=0.3(1-0.3)^{x-1} , x=1,2,3...

D)P(X=1) or P(X=2)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)

P(X=1) or P(X=2)=0.3(1-0.3)^{1-1}+0.3(1-0.3)^{2-1}=0.51

E)

P(X \geq 3)=1-P(X

F)

E(X)=\frac{1}{p}

p is the resident who does not have adequate earthquake supplies.

p = 1-0.3 = 0.7

E(X)=\frac{1}{0.7}=1.42

G)E(X)=\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{0.3}=3.33

kate would like to find the height of her favorite rollercoaster at the amusement park. She noticed that she casts a 2 foot shad
alex41 [277]

Set up a proportion with Katie’s height / Katie’s shadow = roller coasters height / its shadow. So it is 5 feet / 2 feet = x feet / 60 feet. To solve cross multiply so it becomes 2x = 300 and x = 150 feet
