Answer:

I want to answer 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

As for  how to solve it I don't really know I would use process of elimination because the answer can't be so high that it's 45%  so that's out. Personally I think that 35% is pretty high to so my best educated guess would be between 25% and 15% . Sorry this isn't more helpful.

Ramesh examined the pattern in the table. Powers of 7 Value 2,401 343 49 7 1 Ramesh says that based on the pattern . Which state
earnstyle [38]

1) You included neihter what Ramesh says nor the statements, then I can you tell some facts about the pattern.


2) The sequence is: 2401, 343, 49, 7, and 1.


3) The first term is 2401


4) The sequence is a decreasing geometric one.


5) The ratio is found dividing two consecutive terms (the second by the first, or the third by the second, or the fourth by the third, or the fifth by fourth):


1/7 = 7 / 49 = 49 / 343 = 343 / 2401.


So, the ratio is 1/7


6) The sum of that sequence is 2401 + 343 + 49 + 7 + 1 = 2801

A large washer has an outer radius of 10mm and a hole with a diameter of 14mm. What is the area of the top surface of the washer
choli [55]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The area of the top surface of the washer is:  160.14 square mm.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The top of the surface is in the shape of a annulus  with a outer radius of 10 mm and a inner radius of 7 mm ( since the diameter of the hole is: 14 mm and we know that the radius is half of the diameter)

Now, we know that the area of the annulus region is given by:

Area=\pi (R^2-r^2)

where R is the outer radius and r is the inner radius.

Here we have:

R=10\ mm\\\\and\\\\r=7\ mm

Hence, we have:

Area\ of\ top\ surface=\pi (10^2-7^2)\\\\i.e.\\\\Area\ of\ top\ surface=\pi (100-49)\\\\i.e.\\\\Area\ of\ top\ surface=\pi\cdot 51\\\\i.e.\\\\Area\ of\ top\ surface=160.14\ mm^2

Create a set of 5 positive numbers (repeats allowed) that have median 7 and mean 10.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two cases arise to obtain the median.

Case (1): Sample size (n) is odd

First, arrange the data in ascending order. Then, the median is the middle value and lies at the {\left( {\frac{{n + 1}}{2}} \right)^{{\rm{th}}}} position.

Case (2): Sample size (n) is even

First, arrange the data in ascending order. Then, the median is the mean of the two data values that lie on and positions.

Formula for mean is, where is the sum of all observations and n is the total number of observations.

(1)

Use the below process to create a set of 5 positive numbers (repeats allowed) that have median 7 and mean 10.

1.Select the 5 ordered numbers with middle value 7.

2.Adjust the remaining 4 numbers other than 7 to get mean 10 without changing the order of the numbers.

Based on the process to select the 5 ordered numbers with middle value 7 and change the other ordered numbers to get the mean value 10.

(2)

The product of the mean and the total number of observations is obtained. Then, the sum of four observations is subtracted from the product.

Here, the first four numbers are (5, 6, 7, 8).

The last number by using mean 10 is,

\begin{array}{c}\\\bar x = \frac{{5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + a}}{5}\\\\10 = \frac{{5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + a}}{5}\\\\50 = 26 + a\\\\a = 50 - 26\\=24\end{array}  

The last number is 24.
