If you know the population standard deviation (sigma), then you use the Z distribution. If sigma is not known, then you use the T distribution.
Side note: Even if sigma is not known, you could use the Z distribution if the sample size n is greater than 30. If n > 30, then the T distribution is approximately about the same as the Z distribution.
Find the sum of the first 12 terms of the sequence 512, 256, 128, …
Answer: 1023.75 (a)
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence is a Geometric progression with the common ratio of ¹/₂ and first term of 512.
a = 512, r = ¹/₂. To determine the ratio, just divide the second term by the first term.
Now to calculate the sum, we consider two formula here and select the one that is most appropriate,
(1) a( rⁿ - 1 )/r - 1, when r is greater than 1
(2) a( 1 - rⁿ )/1 - rⁿ, when r is less than 1.
In this question, formula 2 shall be appropriate because r is less than 1.
so,
S₁₂ = 512( 1 - 0.5¹² )/1 - 0.5
512( 1 - 2.44 ₓ 10⁻⁴ )/0.5
= 512( 0,9998 )/0.5
= 511.875/0.5
= 1023.75

Jay is copying an angle. His work so far is shown below. Explain the importance of his next step, which is placing the point of the compass on L, opening the compass to N, and drawing an arc.
A. This ensures that when he draws another arc for angle Y, that it will be the right distance from point Z. <-- MY ANSWER
B. This arc is to make sure that both L and N are equidistant from M.
C. This arc makes sure that the distance from L to N is the same as the distance from Y to Z.
D. This way there will be two arcs drawn on both angles when he is done.
Answer:
your answer is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the purpose here, we'll call the missing point on the arc through Z point X.
Essentially, you want to make ΔXYZ ≅ ΔLMN by SSS. The construction so far ensures LM ≅ MN ≅ XY ≅ YZ. By copying the length LN to XZ, you ensure the congruence of the remaining sides of the triangles.
Then ∠XYZ ≅ ∠LMN because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
In short, XZ needs to be the same distance as LN.

Which of the following points IS a solution to the system: y > - 3x + 4 / y > 2x / - y < 7 Selected answer is not correct.
Answer:
Solution : Third Option
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step here is to make all the signs uniform. As you can see the third inequality has a less than sign, which we can change to a greater than sign by dividing negative one on either side, making the inequality y > - 7.
[tex]\begin{bmatrix}y>-3x+4\\ y>2x\\ y>-7\end{bmatrix}[/tex]
Now take a look at the third option. Of course the y - coordinate, 3, is greater than - 7, so it meets the third requirement ( y > - 7 ). At the same time 3 > 1( 2 ) > 2, and hence it meets the second requirement as well. 3 > - 3( 1 ) + 4 > - 3 + 4 > 1, meeting the first requirement.
Therefore, the third option is a solution to the system.

Y varies inversely with x. If Y=17 and k(The constant of variation) =76, what is x? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Answer:
x ≈ 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is
y = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation
Here k = 76 and y = 17 , thus
17 = [tex]\frac{76}{x}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by x )

From previous experience with these populations, it is known that the variances are σ21=27 and σ22=23. (a) Determine the rejection region for the test of
Answer:
[tex]\text{Critical Region} = z<-1.96\ \text{or}\ z>1.96[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A test for the difference between two population means is to be performed.
As the population variances are known, the z-test will be used.
The hypothesis can be defined as follows:
H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ vs. Hₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ₂
Assume that the significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.
The critical region can be defined as follows:
The critical value of z for α = 0.05 is:
[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025} =-1.96\\\\z_{1-\alpha/2}=z_{1-0.05/2}=z_{0.975} =1.96[/tex]

32. Identify all real and non-real zeros of the function f(x) = x^3 + 5x^2 + 3x + 15.
options:
A. x = 0, −5, 1.7i, −1.7i
B. x = 0,−5, 1.7i
C. x = −5, 1.7i, −1.7i
D. x = 0,−3, −5
Answer:
x = -5 or x = i sqrt(3) or x = -i sqrt(3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
x^3 + 5 x^2 + 3 x + 15 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(x + 5) (x^2 + 3) = 0
Split into two equations:
x + 5 = 0 or x^2 + 3 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides:
x = -5 or x^2 + 3 = 0
x = (0 ± sqrt(0^2 - 4×3))/2 = ( ± sqrt(-12))/2:
x = -5 or x = sqrt(-12)/2 or x = (-sqrt(-12))/2
sqrt(-12) = sqrt(-1) sqrt(12) = i sqrt(12):
x = -5 or x = (i sqrt(12))/2 or x = (-i sqrt(12))/2
sqrt(12) = sqrt(4×3) = sqrt(2^2×3) = 2sqrt(3):
x = -5 or x = (i×2 sqrt(3))/2 or x = (-i×2 sqrt(3))/2
(2 i sqrt(3))/2 = i sqrt(3):
x = -5 or x = i sqrt(3) or x = (-2 i sqrt(3))/2
(2 (-i sqrt(3)))/2 = -i sqrt(3):
Answer: x = -5 or x = i sqrt(3) or x = -i sqrt(3)
Answer:
C. x = −5, 1.7i, −1.7i
Step-by-step explanation:
Quick answer:
C. x = −5, 1.7i, −1.7i
explanation:
C. is the only answer option that does NOT have 0 as a root, which is impossible, because there is a constant term, which means that all roots are non-zero. In other words, we cannot extract x as a factor.
Complete answer:
All odd degree polynomials have at least one real root.
By the real roots theorem, we know that
if there is a real root, it must be of the form [tex]\pm[/tex]p/q where q is any of the factors of the leading coefficient (1 in this case) and p is any factor of the constant term d (15 in this case).
Values of [tex]\pm[/tex]p/q are
On trial and error, using the factor theorem, we see that
f(-5) = 0, therefore -5 is a real root. By long division, we have a quotient of x^2+3 = 0, which gives readily the remaining (complex) roots of +/- sqrt(5) i
The answer is {-5, +/- sqrt(5) i}, or again,
C. x = −5, 1.7i, −1.7i

Is there evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website? Use =0.05
Answer:
Calculated χ² = 13.425
χ² (5,0.025) >14.45 and χ²(5,0.975) <1.24
The given data does not fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude there is no evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website.
Step-by-step explanation:
Color Blue Orange Green Red Yellow Brown
Frequency 30 48 55 66 70 131
Expected 40 40 40 80 80 120
H0: The bag of plain M&Ms is made up of 10% blue, 10% orange, 10% green, 20% red, 20% yellow, and 30% brown
Ha: The color distribution is not equal to the distribution stated in the null hypothesis.
Calculate chi square
χ² = (30-40)² /40 + (48-40)²/40 + (55-40)²/40 + (66-80)²/80 + (70-80)²/80 + (131-120)²/120
χ² = 2.5 + 1.6 + 5.625 + 2.45 + 1.25= 13.425
The critical region for χ² for 5 degrees of freedom with ∝= 0.05 is
χ² (5,0.025) >14.45 and χ²(5,0.975) <1.24
The given data does not fall in the critical region so we accept H0 and conclude there is no evidence to doubt the color distribution claimed by the website.

Complete each ordered pair so that it is a solution of the given linear equation.
x - 4y = 4; (_,3), (4,_)
Answer: (16,3) and (4,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the equation x-4y=4 is asking what is the value of x if the value of y is 3. So plot it into the equation and solve for x.
x-4(3)=4 multiply the left side
x - 12 = 4 add 12 to both sides
x= 16
You will now have the coordinates (16,3)
In the second pair it gives the x coordinate which is 4 but we need to solve for y.
4 - 4y=4 subtract 4 from both sides
-4 -4
-4y = 0 Divide both sides by 4
y = 0
The ordered pair will be (4,0)

what is 76.32 divided by 24.98 using compatible numbers to estimate each quotient?
Answer:
Approximately 3.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Using "compatible numbers" we can simply round these numbers to integer values. Let's make 76.32 => 76 and 24.98 => 25
So from here let's do 76/25 to get 3 R 1/25
1/25 as a decimal is .04
So far, we have 3.04. Going back to Look at our decimals, .32 and .98, there is a larger difference in our down rounding with the .32 than the up rounding from our .98. So we should consider an extra value in our decimal.
Considering our whole number of 3.0, we can assume that our rounding will have an increase of about .01 or .015 in error.
Thus our number will be 3.04 + .01.
Making our quotient approximately 3.05.

Assume that a random sample is used to estimate a population proportion p. Find the margin of error E that corresponds to the given statistics and confidence level.
Answer:
Margin of Error = z∝/2 * Standard Error
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for standard error is given by
SE = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }[/tex]
Where p is the probability or proportion of success q=1-p and n is the number of trials or samples.
Now Margin of Error is given by
ME = z∝/2 * Standard Error
The confidence level is used to estimate the value of alpha.
For example 90% confidence means alpha= 1-0.9= 0.1 and alpha by 2 would be 0.05 . So the value for alpha by 2 would be 1.96
12) A traffic control engineer reports that 75% of the vehicles passing through a checkpoint are from within the state. What is the probability that fewer than 4 of the next 9 vehicles are from out of state
Answer:
0.8343
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we have the following values:
Probability of vehicles that pass within the check point that are from within the state = 75% = 0.75
Probability of vehicles that pass within the check point that are from outsode the state = 100 - 75 = 25% = 0.25
P = 0.25
n = number of random variables = 9
The probability that fewer than 4 of the next 9 vehicles are from out of state is calculated as:
P < 4 = P ≤ 3
n = 9
P(x) = n!/(n - x)! x! × p^x × q^(n - x)
x = 3
p = 0.25
q = 0.75
P(x) = 9! /(9 - 3)! × 3! × 0.25^3 × 0.75^(9 - 3)
P(x) =0.8343
The probability that fewer than 4 (x<4) of the next 9 vehicles are from out of state is 0.83427.
Given information:
75% of the vehicles passing through a checkpoint are from within the state.
So, the probability that the vehicle is from within the state is 0.75.
The probability that the vehicle is from outside the state will be 1-0.75=0.25.
Now, let x be the random variable. So, the value of n=9. and x<4
It is required to calculate the probability that fewer than 4 of the next 9 vehicles are from out of state.
So, [tex]x< 4[/tex], p=0.25 and q=0.75.
So, the required probability can be calculated as,
[tex]P(x\le3) =\sum ^nC_x\times p^x \times q^{(n - x)}\\P(x\le3)=\sum\dfrac{n!}{(n - x)! x!} \times p^x \times q^{(n - x)}\\P(x\le3)= \dfrac{9!}{(9 - 3)! 3!} \times 0.25^3 \times 0.75^{(9 - 3)}+\dfrac{9!}{(9 - 2)! 2!} \times 0.25^2 \times 0.75^{(9 - 2)}+\dfrac{9!}{(9 - 1)! 1!} \times 0.25^1 \times 0.75^{(9 - 1)}+\dfrac{9!}{(9 - 0)! 0!} \times 0.25^0 \times 0.75^{(9 - 0)}\\P(x\le3)=0.83427[/tex]
Therefore, the probability that fewer than 4 of the next 9 vehicles are from out of state is 0.83427.

You are to manufacture a rectangular box with 3 dimensions x, y and z, and volume v=8000. Find the dimensions which minimize the surface area of this box.
Answer:
20 by 20 by 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total surface of the rectangular box be expressed as S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz
x is the length of the box
y is the width and
z is the height of the box.
S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz ... 1
Given the volume V = xyz = 8000 ... 2
From equation 2;
z = 8000/xy
Substituting into equation 1;
S = 2xy + 2y(8000/xy)+ 2x(8000/xy)
S = 2xy+16000/x+16000/y
Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to x and y will give;
dS/dx = 2y + (-16000x⁻²)
dS/dx = 2y - 16000/x²
Similarly,
dS/dy = 2x + (-160000y⁻²)
dS/dy = 2x - 16000/y²
Note that at the turning point, ds/dx = 0 and ds/dy = 0, hence;
2y - 16000/x² = 0 and 2x - 16000/y² = 0
2y = 16000/x² and 2x = 16000/y²
2y = 16000/(8000/y²)²
2y = 16000×y⁴/64,000,000
2y = y⁴/4000
y³ = 8000
y =³√8000
y = 20
Given 2x = 16000/y²
2x = 16000/20²
2x = 16000/400
2x = 40
x = 20
Since Volume of the box is V = xyz
8000 = 20(20)z
8000 = 400z
z = 8000/400
z = 20
Hence, the dimensions which minimize the surface area of this box is 20 by 20 by 20.
The dimensions which minimize the surface area of this box is 20 *20* 20. This can be calculated by using surface area and volumes.
The calculation for total surface area:Let the total surface of the rectangular box be expressed as:
S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz
where,
x is the length of the box
y is the width and
z is the height of the box.
S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz .................(1)
Given:
Volume V = xyz = 8000 .............(2)
From equation 2;
z = 8000/xy
Substituting into equation 1;
S = 2xy + 2y(8000/xy)+ 2x(8000/xy)
S = 2xy+16000/x+16000/y
Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to x and y will give;
dS/dx = 2y + (-16000x⁻²)
dS/dx = 2y - 16000/x²
Similarly,
dS/dy = 2x + (-160000y⁻²)
dS/dy = 2x - 16000/y²
Note that at the turning point, ds/dx = 0 and ds/dy = 0, hence;
2y - 16000/x² = 0 and 2x - 16000/y² = 0
2y = 16000/x² and 2x = 16000/y²
2y = 16000/(8000/y²)²
2y = 16000×y⁴/64,000,000
2y = y⁴/4000
y³ = 8000
y =³√8000
y = 20
Given 2x = 16000/y²
2x = 16000/20²
2x = 16000/400
2x = 40
x = 20
Since, Volume of the box is V = xyz
8000 = 20(20)z
8000 = 400z
z = 8000/400
z = 20
Hence, the dimensions which minimize the surface area of this box is 20*20*20.
