Use the arithmetic progression formula to find the sum of integers from 75 to 100.75,76,77....99,100.​

Answers

Answer:

The sum is 2275

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]75,76,77....99,100[/tex]

Required

The sum

Using arithmetic progression, we have:

[tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2}(T_1 + T_n)[/tex]

Where:

[tex]T_1 = 75[/tex] --- first term

[tex]T_n = 100[/tex] --- last term

[tex]n = T_n - T_1 + 1[/tex]

[tex]n = 100 - 75 + 1 = 26[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2}(T_1 + T_n)[/tex]

[tex]S_n = \frac{26}{2}*(75 + 100)[/tex]

[tex]S_n = 13*175[/tex]

[tex]S_n = 2275[/tex]

What is the inverse of function f? f(x)=10/9+11

Answers

Answer:

Option D is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

f(x) = 10/9 X + 11

Let f(X) be "y".

y = (10/9) X + 11

Interchange "X" and "y".

x = (10/9) y + 11

or, 9x = 10y + 99

or, y = (9x-99)/10

Therefore, f'(X) = (9x-99)/10.

"Add equations A and B to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]. Add equations A and C to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]".

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be the following system of linear equations:

[tex]4\cdot x + 4\cdot y + z = 24[/tex] (1)

[tex]2\cdot x - 4\cdot y +z = 0[/tex] (2)

[tex]5\cdot x - 4\cdot y - 5\cdot z = 12[/tex] (3)

1) We eliminate [tex]y[/tex] by adding (1) and (2):

[tex](4\cdot x + 2\cdot x) +(4\cdot y - 4\cdot y) + (z + z) = 24 + 0[/tex]

[tex]6\cdot x +2\cdot z = 24[/tex] (4)

2) We eliminate [tex]y[/tex] by adding (1) and (3):

[tex](4\cdot x + 5\cdot x) +(4\cdot y - 4\cdot y) +(z -5\cdot z) = (24 + 12)[/tex]

[tex]9\cdot x -4\cdot z = 36[/tex] (5)

Hence, the correct answer is "Add equations A and B to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]. Add equations A and C to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]".

At what x value does the function given below have a hole?

f(x)=x+3/x2−9

Answers

Answer:

hole at x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The hole is the discontinuity that exists after the fraction reduces. (Still doesn't exist for original of course)

The discontinuities for this expression is when the bottom is 0. x^2-9=0 when x=3 or x=-3 since squaring either and then subtracting 9 would lead to 0.

So anyways we have (x+3)/(x^2-9)

= (x+3)/((x-3)(x+3))

Now this equals 1/(x-3) with a hole at x=-3 since the x+3 factor was "cancelled" from the denominator.

After deduction of 4 paisa in a Rupee a sum of Rs 720 is left.What was it originally?​

Answers

Given:

After deduction of 4 paisa in a Rupee a sum of Rs 720 is left.

To find:

The original amount.

Solution:

We know that,

1 Rs. = 100 paisa

After deduction of 4 paisa in a Rupee, we get

[tex]100-4=96[/tex]

It means Rs. 720 is the 96% of the original amount.

Let x be the original amount.

[tex]720=\dfrac{96}{100}x[/tex]

[tex]72000=96x[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{72000}{96}=x[/tex]

[tex]750=x[/tex]

Therefore, the original amount is Rs. 750.

write the equation of the line shown in the graph above in slope-intercept form

Answers

y = mx + c
y= -2/3x + 1
1= c
Answer: y= -2/3x+1


Step 1: Write slope-intercept form equation

To start answering this question, it helps to write out the example equation for slope-intercept form. Let’s do this now.

y=mx+b

Keep in mine that the y represents the answer, the m represents the slope, the x represents the variable, and the b represents the y-intercept.

Step 2: Determine the y-intercept

I find that it is easiest to determine the y-intercept first. This is the b in the equation. The y-intercept can be find by looking at the y-axis, and seeing where the line intersects with the axis. In this case, it seems to be at 1. Let’s substitute this into our equation now.

y=mx+b
y=mx+1

Step 3: Determine slope

For the final thing that we need to fill in, we need to find the slope. The slope is the m in the equation, and can be found by the formula of rise/run. Choose any two points, and see how far they are from each other up and down (rise), as well as left and right (run).
For the sake of this problem, we will work with (0,1) and (-3,3). There is a difference in the rise of 2 and in the run of 3. This makes the rise/ run be 2/3. Let’s substitute this now.

y=mx+1
y= 2/3x+1

The slope will also need to be negative since the line on the graph descends. Let’s change this to a negative now.

y= -2/3x+1

The mean of a data set is observed to be very different from its median, representing a strong skewness. However, the 1.5 IQR rule reveals that there are no outliers. Which of the following is correct, if the sample size is 100?

a. A normal quantile plot of the data follows a diagonal line, and the t-procedure is appropriate to use.
b. A normal quantile plot of the data does not follow a diagonal line, and the t- procedure is not appropriate to use.
c. A normal quantile plot of the data follows a diagonal line, and the t-procedure is not appropriate to use.
d. A normal quantile plot of the data does not follow a diagonal line, and the t- procedure is appropriate to use.

Answers

Answer:

a. A normal quantile plot of the data follows a diagonal line, and the t-procedure is appropriate to use.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

In this question:

Sample size of 100 > 30, which means that we use the Central Limit Theorem, and thus, the sampling distribution is approximately normal, following a diagonal line, and since the standard deviation of the population is not know, we use the t-procedure. Thus, the correct answer is given by option a.

You are charged $9.33 total for a meal, assume the 7% sales tax, how much was the menu price of this item?

I have already tried
$8.68
$8.71
$8.67
all were wrong ​

Answers

Answer:

$8.71.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you are charged $ 9.33 total for a meal, assuming the 7% sales tax, to determine how much was the menu price of this item, the following calculation must be performed:

100 + 7 = 107

107 = 9.33

100 = X

100 x 9.33 / 107 = X

933/107 = X

8.71 = X

Therefore, the menu price of this item was $ 8.71.

There are four different colored balls in a bag. There is equal probability of selecting the red, black, green, or blue ball.What is the expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement?

Answers

Answer:

The expected value is of 5 green balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each experiment, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a green ball, or it is not. Since there is replacement, the probability of a green ball being taken in an experiment is independent of any other experiments, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

20 experiments

This means that [tex]n = 20[/tex]

There is equal probability of selecting the red, black, green, or blue ball.

This means that 1 in 4 are green, so [tex]p = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex]

What is the expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement?

[tex]E(X) = np = 20*0.25 = 5[/tex]

The expected value is of 5 green balls.

The expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement is 5.

What is a binomial distribution?

The binomial probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiments is the binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

As it is given that the probability of all the balls coming out of the bag is equal. Therefore, the probability of a green ball coming can be written as,

[tex]\text{Probability of Green Ball} = 0.25[/tex]

Also, we can write the probability of not getting a green ball can also be written as,

[tex]\rm Probability(\text{Not coming Green Ball}) = P(Red\ ball)+P(Black\ ball)+P(Blue\ ball)[/tex]

                                                         [tex]=0.25+0.25+0.25\\\\=0.75[/tex]

Now, as there are only two outcomes possible, therefore, the distribution of the probability is a binomial distribution. And we know that the expected value of a binomial distribution is given as,

[tex]\rm Expected\ Value, E(x) = np[/tex]

where n is the number of trials while p represents the probability.

Now, substituting the values, we will get the expected value,

[tex]\rm Expected\ Value, E(Green\ ball) = 20 \times 0.25 = 5[/tex]

Hence, the expected value of getting a green ball out of 20 experiments with replacement is 5.
