Solution:
We can see that each term when subtracted by 4, gives the next term.
This means that:
n₁ - 4(2) + 4(1) = n₂Let's substitute the values to check:
=> n₁ - 4(2) + 4(1) = n₂ => n₁ - 8 + 4 = n₂ => n₁ - 4 = n₂ => 18 - 4 = 14=> 14 = 14 (Proved)Now, we can find the nth term aₙ by using the formula:
18 - 4(nth term) + 4(1) = Value of nth termTo check that the formula is correct, let's substitute the value of nth as the fifth term of the sequence.
18 - 4(nth term) + 4(1) = Value of nth term=> 18 - 4(5) + 4(1) = Value of 5th term=> 18 - 4(5) + 4(1) = Value of 5th term=> 18 - 20 + 4 = Value of 5th term=> 18 - 16 = Value of 5th term=> 2 = Value of 5th termNow, let's find the fifth term mentally. Keep subtracting 4 until you reach the fifth term.
=> 18 - 4 = Second term of sequence=> 14 = Second term of sequence=> 14 - 4 = Third term of sequence=> 10 = Third term of sequence=> 10 - 4 = Fourth term of sequence=> 6 = Fourth term of sequence=> 6 - 4 = Fifth term of sequence=> 2 = Fifth term of sequenceWe are getting the same result from both ways.
In conclusion, our formula to find the nth term is "18 - 4(nth term) + 4(1)".

Step-by-step explanation:
Randomly selected 150 student cars have ages with a mean of 7.3 years and a standard deviation of 3.6 years, while randomly selected 65 faculty cars have ages with a mean of 5.9 years and a standard deviation of 3.5 years.
1. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars.
The test statistic is
Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars?
A. Yes
B. No
2. Construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the difference μ1−μ2, where μ1 is the mean age of student cars and μ2 is the mean age of faculty cars. <(μ1−μ2)
Answers
Answer:
1) B. NO
2) -0.049 < (μ1 − μ2) > 2.751
Step-by-step explanation:
Data of student cars;
Sample size; n1 = 150
Sample mean; x1¯ = 7.3
Sample standard deviation; s1 = 3.6
Faculty cars data;
Sample size; n2 = 65
Sample mean; x2¯ = 5.9
Sample standard deviation; s2 = 3.5
The hypotheses is defined as;
Null hypothesis; H0: μ1 = μ2
Alternative hypothesis; Ha: μ1 > μ2
1) Formula for test statistic for 2 sample test is;
z = (x1¯ - x2¯)/√[((S1)²/n1) + ((S2)²/n2)
z = (7.3 - 5.9)/√[((3.6)²/150) + ((3.5)²/65)
z = 1.4/√((12.96/150) + (12.25/65))
z = 1.4/√0.2749
z = 1.4/0.5243
z = 2.67
From online p-value from z-score calculator attached, using z = 2.67, one tailed test, significance level = 0.01,we have;
P-value = 0.003793
This is less than the significance level, thus we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that student cars are older than faculty cars.
2) Formula for the confidence interval is;
CI = μ1−μ2 = (x1¯ - x¯2) ± z√[((S1)²/n1) + ((S2)²/n2)
At significance level of 99%, z-score value is 2.576
Thus;
μ1−μ2 = (7.3 - 5.9) ± 2.576√[((3.6)²/150) + ((3.5)²/65)
μ1 − μ2 = 1.4 ± 2.576(0.5243)
-0.049 < (μ1 − μ2) > 2.751

One base of a trapezoid is decreasing at a rate of 888 kilometers per second and the height of the trapezoid is increasing at a rate of 555 kilometers per second. The other base of the trapezoid is fixed at 444 kilometers. At a certain instant, the decreasing base is 121212 kilometers and the height is 222 kilometers. What is the rate of change of the area of the trapezoid at that instant (in square kilometers per second)
Answers
The rate of change of the area of the trapezoid at that instant is 5 square kilometers per second and this can be determined by differentiating the area of the trapezoid with respect to time 't'.
Given :
One base of a trapezoid is decreasing at a rate of 8 kilometers per second and the height of the trapezoid is increasing at a rate of 5 kilometers per second. The other base of the trapezoid is fixed at 4 kilometers. At a certain instant, the decreasing base is 12 kilometers and the height is 2 kilometers.First, determine the area of a trapezoid, that is:
[tex]\rm A = \dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}\times h[/tex]
[tex]\rm \dfrac{2A}{h}=b_1+b_2[/tex]
[tex]\rm b_2 = \dfrac{2A}{h}-b_1[/tex]
Now, differentiate the above expression with respect to 't'.
[tex]\rm \dfrac{db_2}{dt} = -\dfrac{2A}{h^2}\dfrac{dh}{dt}-\dfrac{db_1}{dt}[/tex]
Now. substitute the values of the known terms in the above formula.
[tex]\rm \dfrac{db_2}{dt} = -\dfrac{2\times (16)}{2^2}\times (5)-(-8)[/tex]
[tex]\rm \dfrac{db_2}{dt} = -32\;km/sec[/tex]
So, the area is decreasing at the rate of 5.

3. The difference of the squares of two positive consecutive odd integers is 32. Find the

Answers
Answer:
7,9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let two consecutive odd integer=X and (X+1)
The difference of the squares of two positive consecutive odd integers is 32.
So(X+2)^2-x^2=32
(x^2+4+4x)-x^2=32
x^2+4+4x-x^2=32
4x=32-4
4x=28
X=28/4
X=7
So first integer=7
Second integer=7+2

Fine the distance between (-8, 4) and (-8, -2)
Answers
Answer:
The distance between the two points is six units.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two coordinate pairs:
(-8, 4)(-8, -2)With these, we can find the distance between the two using the distance formula. The distance formula is:
[tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}, \ \text{where d is the distance.}[/tex]
Additionally, we need to label our coordinates. In math, coordinates are labeled as (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂).
Therefore, our coordinate pairs can be labeled in this format.
(-8, 4)
x₁ = -8y₁ = 4(-8, -2)
x₂ = -8y₂ = -2Now, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for d.
[tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-8 - -8)^2 + (-2 - 4)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(0)^2+(-6)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{0 + 36}\\\\d = \sqrt{36}\\\\d = 6[/tex]
Therefore, the distance between the two points is six units.
Consider an ANOVA procedure to compare five population means. In this case, the total number of pairs to be considered in multiple comparisons is ten. If the probability that the null hypothesis is falsely rejected at least once in all six pairs needs to be 0.05, the probability that the null hypothesis is falsely rejected in each pair should be:________. (Give your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Answers
Answer:
The right response is "0.0085". A further explanation is given below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
P (across each pair, this same null hypothesis would be wrongly rejected) be "a".
Therefore,
⇒ [tex]P=1-P(no \ time \ rejected)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1-(1-a)^6 =0.05[/tex]
⇒ [tex]1-a=0.95^{(\frac{1}{6} )}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]a=1-0.95^{(\frac{1}{6} )}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]0.0085[/tex]

you drive on 40 gallons of gas? What is the car's gas mileage?
Answers
Answer:

Based on Proportion:
[tex]\frac{450}{20}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{x}{40}[/tex]
Cross multiply:
450 x 40 = 18,000

y=.85 x
Of(x) = 1.15
Sale = Original - 15
Of(x) = x - 15
Sale = Original - 15(Original)
Answers
Answer:
The function is:
[tex]f(x) = x - 0.15x[/tex]
Can also be written as:
[tex]Sale = Original - 0.15(Original)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the sale percentage is 15%
In general, the sale price is calculated by finding the discount according to discount percentage and then subtracting the discount from original price.
Given that x is the original price
Then the discount will be:
[tex]Discount = Original Price * 0.15\\Discount = 0.15x[/tex]
The sale price will be:
[tex]Sale Price = Original\ Price - 0.15(Original\ Price)\\[/tex]
As x is the original price
[tex]f(x) = x - 0.15x[/tex]
Can also be written as:
[tex]Sale = Original - 0.15(Original)[/tex]

Yes the ordered pair is a solution
2(8) - 10(2) = 4

No the ordered pair is not a solution
By direct evaluation, we will see that the pair (8,2) is not a solution of the system of equations.
Evaluating a system of equations.
A given point is a solution of a system of equations if and only if it is a solution for both equations, then to see if (8, 2) is a solution of the given system, we need to replace the values in both equations and see if it is a solution of each one.
For the first one we have:
x - y = 6
8 - 2 = 6
6 = 6
So (8, 2) is a solution of the first equation.
For the second one we have:
2x - 10y = 4
2*8 - 10*2 = 4
16 - 20 = 4
-4 = 4
Note that this equation is false, then the point (8, 2) is not a solution for the second equation, then the point is not a solution for the system of equations.
