The fifth term of an arithmetic sequence is 23 and the 12th term is 72? Determine the first three terms of the sequence and the nth term​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the first term is a1

the distance between the numbers is d

we have:

a5 = a1 + 4d = 23

a12 = a1 + 11d = 72

so we have the equation:

a1 + 4d = 23

a1 + 11d = 72

=> a1 = -5

d = 7

=> an = -5 + 7(n - 1) = 7n - 12

with an = 7n - 12

=> a2 = 2

a3 = 9

so the first three terms is -5; 2; 9

uppose you have purchased a filling machine for candy bags that is supposed to fill each bag with 16 oz of candy. Assume that the weights of filled bags are approximately normally distributed. A random sample of 10 bags yields the following data (in oz): 15.87, 16.02, 15.78, 15.83, 15.69, 15.81, 16.04, 15.81, 15.92, 16.10 On the basis of this data, can you conclude that the mean fill weight is actually less than 16 oz? Let LaTeX: \alpha=5\%α = 5 %. What would be the appropriate null and alternative hypothesis?

Answers

Answer:

Null, H0: μ ≥ 16

Alternative ; H1: μ < 16

reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

Null, H0: μ ≥ 16

Alternative ; H1: μ < 16

To compute the test statistic :

We need the sample mean and sample standard deviation :

15.87, 16.02, 15.78, 15.83, 15.69, 15.81, 16.04, 15.81, 15.92, 16.10

Using calculator :

Sample mean, m = 15.887

Standard deviation = 0.13

Test statistic :

(m - μ) / s/sqrt(n)

(15.887 - 16) / 0.13/sqrt(10)

-0.113 / 0.0411096

= - 2.749

Tcritical at 95%

Tn-1, 0.025

T10,0.025 = 2.262

Since the test statistic value is less than the critical value, reject H0

An online fax company, EFaxIt, has a customer plan where a subscriber pays a monthly subscription fee of $6.5 dollars and can send/receive 120 fax pages at no additional cost. For each page sent or received past the 120 page limit, the customer must pay an overage fee of $0.08 per page. The following expression gives the total cost, in dollars, to send p pages beyond the plan's monthly limit.

C= 0.06p + 12.75

Required:
If the monthly bill under this plan comes out to be $16.47, what was the total number of pages that were sent or received?

Answers

Answer:

62 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost function is given as below:

C= 0.06p + 12.75

C=total cost for printing= $16.47

0.06= variable printing cost per page

p=number of pages prinited=the unknown

12.75=monthly fixed printing cost

16.47=0.06p+12.75

16.47-12.75=0.06p

3.72=0.06p

0.06p=3.72

p=3.72/0.06

p=62 pages

What is the missing number? |

Answers

Answer:

2y - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

well 15 LESS than TWICE a number. okay so let’s start off by making a variable for the unknown number.... y. the variable is y. so now we have to think, TWICE that number, but we don’t know the number.

Now that we have the variable and we know it has to be doubled, let’s start off making the first half... we can out that into 2y. which is 2 multiplied by the unknown number.

now that we have the first half done, we have to take the 15 less. Less can mean  or subtract in this kind of situation. but for this certain scenario, it will be subtraction. so the equation would be 2y - 15.

Hello!

First of all, let the number be r.

"twice a number" means we multiply that number by 2:

2r

Subtract 15 (fifteen less)

2r-15

This is equal to 21:

2r-15=21

[tex]\rule{160}{2}[/tex]

Solve the equation:

2r=21+15

2r=36

Divide both sides by 2:

r=18

Hope everything is clear.

Determine the value of the missing sides for the following triangle

Answers

Answer:

There is no picture or diagram so add them and i can edit this answer, look at paperclip sign first take picture screen shot then add pic on paperclip edit button here.

Step-by-step explanation:

For missing sides of a triangle we do the following.

Does it have a right Angle determine other angle measures, say if an external angle on a straight line showed 145 then its adjoing interior would be 180-145=35 degree.

Are the measure of the lengths congruent with a larger or smaller triangle shown.

If yes then if one triangle showed 4 and same triangle showed 6 and had ne missing, then the other had 8 and 10 and had one missing we would compare and if 8 was the same as 4 we would recognise the congruent triangle is x2 (scale factor 2) so measure 6 woyuld also be measure 12 for the other triangle. and then to find the smaller missing side we see 10 is left over and 10/2 = 5

Other ways to find length is through Pythagoras  we use the squares a^2 + b^2 = c^2 for missing slant

and c^2 - b^2 = a^2 for any missing side

so a represents any missing side for the second equation and c represents the missing side if it is a slant only.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 384.85 yd       to the power of 3

Step-by-step explanation:

πr2h

=  π×3.52×10

=  122.5π

=  384.85

The volume of the given cylinder would be 384.65 cubic yards.

What is the volume of cylinder?

The volume of cylinder is given by -

V = πR²h

Where -

R - Radius of the cylinder

h - height of the cylinder

Given is to calculate the volume of the cylinder with height 10 yd and diameter 7 yd.

For the given cylinder, we have -

Radius of the cylinder : 7/2 = 3.5 yd

Height of the cylinder : 10 yd

So, we can write the volume of the cylinder as -

V = πR²h

V = 3.14 x 3.5 x 3.5 x 10

V = 384.65 cubic yards

Therefore, the volume of the given cylinder would be 384.65 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

log(a)+log(b)=log(ab) so

logx 5 + logx 12 = logx (5*12) = logx 60

logx a = b means x^b = a so x^7 = 60

A consumer organization inspecting new cars found that many had appearance defects (dents, scratches, paint chips etc.). No car had more than three defects. Here is the probability distribution for the number of appearance defects in a new car. X: number of defects 0 1 2 3 P(x) 0.61 0.21 0.11 0.07 Find the expected number of appearance defects in a new car. Do not round.

Answers

Answer:

The expected number of appearance defects in a new car is 0.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the expected number of appearance defects in a new car, we multiply each outcome by its probability.

We have that:

0.61 probability of 0 defects

0.21 probability of 1 defect

0.11 probability of 2 defects

0.07 probability of 3 defects

0.61*0 + 0.21*1 + 0.11*2 + 0.07*3 = 0.64

The expected number of appearance defects in a new car is 0.64.
