5/6 and 2/5
5(5) -6(2) = 25 -12 > 0 ⇒ 5/6 > 2/5
4/10 and 7/8
4(8) -10(7) = 48 - 70 < 0 ⇒ 4/10 < 7/8
3/12 and 1/4
3(4) -12(1) = 0 ⇒ 3/12 = 1/4

Which of the following is an arithmetic sequence? A.-2, 4, -6, 8, ... B.2, 4, 8, 16, ... C.-8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Answer:
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ...
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence increases by the same amount every time through addition or subtraction. There is a common difference.
A: -2, 4, -6, 8, ... If there were a common difference, the numbers would not switch between being positive and back to negative. The numbers would either keep going positive or keep going negative.
B: 2, 4, 8, 16, ... The common difference between 16 and 8 is 16 - 8 = 8. The difference between 8 and 4 is 8 - 4 = 4. Since the difference changes between the numbers, this is not an arithmetic sequence.
C. -8, -6, -4, -2, ... The common difference between -2 and -4 is -2 - (-4) = -2 + 4 = 2. The difference between -4 and -6 is -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2. The difference between -6 and -8 is -6 - (-8) = -6 + 8 = 2. Since the common difference is always two, this is an arithmetic sequence.

The probability density function for random variable W is given as follows: Let x be the 100pth percentile of W and y be the 100(1 – p)th percentile of W, where 0
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability density function (pdf) is used for continuous random variables. That is why p is between 0 and 1 (the two extremes - 0 and 1 - exclusive).
X = 100pth percentile of W
Y = 100(1-p)th percentile of W
Expressing Y as a function of X;
Y = 100(1-p)th = 100th - 100pth
Recall that 100pth is same as X, so substitute;
Y = 100th - X
where 100th = hundredth percentile of W and X = 100pth percentile of W
Given a dataset with the following properties:
mean = 50
median = 40
standard deviation = 5
What is the shape of the distribution?
Answer:
The distribution is positively skewed.
Step-by-step explanation:
A measure of skewness is defined in such a way that the measure should always be zero when the distribution is symmetric and measure should be a pure number i.e independent of origin and units of measurement.
The shape of the distribution can be found by finding the coefficient of skewness.
The coefficient of skewness can be found by
Sk= 3(Mean-Median)/ Standard Deviation
Sk= 3( 50-40)5= 30/5=6
The shape will be positively skewed.
In a positively skewed distribution the mean > median > mode. It has a long right tail.
Using the skewness formula, it is found that the distribution is right-skewed.
------------------
The skewness of a data-set with mean M, median [tex]M_e[/tex] and standard deviation s is given by:[tex]S = \frac{3(M - M_e)}{s}[/tex]
If |S| < 0.5, the distribution is said to be symmetric.If S <-0.5, the distribution is left-skewed.If S > 0.5, the distribution is right-skewed.------------------
Mean of 50, thus, [tex]M = 50[/tex]Median of 40, thus [tex]M_e = 40[/tex]Standard deviation of 5, thus, [tex]s = 5[/tex]The coefficient is:
[tex]S = \frac{3(M - M_e)}{s} = \frac{3(50 - 40)}{5} = \frac{30}{5} = 6[/tex]
Thus, the distribution is right-skewed.

A maker of microwave ovens advertises that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first 5 years of use. In a random sample of 50 microwaves that are 5 years old, 12% needed repairs at a=.04 can you reject the makers claim that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first five years of use?
Answer:
We conclude that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first five years of use.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a maker of microwave ovens advertises that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first 5 years of use.
In a random sample of 50 microwaves that are 5 years old, 12% needed repairs.
Let p = population proportion of microwaves who need repair during the first five years of use.
So, Null Hypothesis, [tex]H_0[/tex] : p [tex]\leq[/tex] 10% {means that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first five years of use}
Alternate Hypothesis, [tex]H_A[/tex] : p > 10% {means that more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first five years of use}
The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z-test for proportions;
T.S. = [tex]\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } }[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\hat p[/tex] = sample proportion of microwaves who need repair during the first 5 years of use = 12%
n = sample of microwaves = 50
So, the test statistics = [tex]\frac{0.12-0.10}{\sqrt{\frac{0.10(1-0.10)}{50} } }[/tex]
= 0.471
The value of z-test statistics is 0.471.
Now, at a 0.04 level of significance, the z table gives a critical value of 1.751 for the right-tailed test.
Since the value of our test statistics is less than the critical value of z as 0.471 < 1.751, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as the test statistics will not fall in the rejection region.
Therefore, we conclude that no more than 10% of its microwaves need repair during the first five years of use.
Sherina wrote and solved the equation. x minus 56 = 230. x minus 56 minus 56 = 230 minus 56. x = 174. What was Sherina’s error?
Answer:
subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)
Step-by-step explanation:
She wrote ...
x - 56 = 230
x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*
x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification
Correctly done, the third line would be ...
x -112 = 174
This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...
x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality
x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides
__
There were two errors:
1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding
2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112
We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.
_____
* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.
Answer:
D: Sherina should have added 56 to both sides of the equation.

Answer:
She must consider 3507 components to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ± 0.1 mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that an engineer wishes to determine the width of a particular electronic component. If she knows that the standard deviation is 3.6 mm.
And she considers to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ±0.1 mm.
As we know that the margin of error is given by the following formula;
The margin of error = [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
Here, [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 3.6 mm
n = sample size of components
[tex]\alpha[/tex] = level of significance = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10 or 10%
[tex]\frac{\alpha}{2} = \frac{0.10}{2}[/tex] = 0.05 or 5%
Now, the critical value of z at a 5% level of significance in the z table is given to us as 1.645.
So, the margin of error = [tex]Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
0.1 mm = [tex]1.645 \times \frac{3.6}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{3.6\times 1.645}{0.1 }[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{n}[/tex] = 59.22
n = [tex]59.22^{2}[/tex] = 3507.0084 ≈ 3507.
Hence, she must consider 3507 components to be 90% sure of knowing the mean will be within ± 0.1 mm.

Given that x = 3
-4 (3) + 3y = 12
-12 + 3y = 12
Adding 12 to both sides
3y = 12+12
3y = 24
Dividing both sides by 3
y = 8
Answer:
y =8
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + 3y = 12
Let x = 3
-4(3) +3y = 12
-12+3y = 12
Add 12 to each side
-12+12+3y =12+12
3y =24
Divide each side by 3
3y/3 = 24/3
y =8

. A discount brokerage selected a random sample of 64 customers and reviewed the value of their accounts. The mean was $32,000 with a population standard deviation of $8,200. What is a 90% confidence interval for the mean account value of the population of customers
Answer:
The 90% confidence interval is [tex]\$ \ 30313.9< \mu < \$ \ 33686.13[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sample size is n = 64
The sample mean is [tex]\= x = \$ 32, 000[/tex]
The standard deviation is [tex]\sigma= \$ 8, 200[/tex]
Given that the confidence interval is 90% then the level of significance is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\alpha = 100 - 90[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 10 \%[/tex]
[tex]\alpha = 0.10[/tex]
Next we obtain the critical value of [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table , the value is
[tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645[/tex]
Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 1.645 * \frac{ 8200 }{ \sqrt{64} }[/tex]
=> [tex]E = 1686.13[/tex]
The 90% confidence interval is mathematically represented as
[tex]\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E[/tex]
=> [tex]32000 - 1689.13 < \mu < 32000 + 1689.13[/tex]
=> [tex]\$ \ 30313.9< \mu < \$ \ 33686.13[/tex]
how do you figure out ratios? the problem is 12 quarters to 34 dollars. thanks
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have a ratio, you put one number as the numerator and than one number as the denominator.
so it would be (12/34)=(x/68)
In this example I made the ratio you are comparing it to have 68 dollars, so when you solve for the amount of quarters you need it should be 24, since all of the numbers in this example are just being doubled.
To solve for x, you multiply 68 on both sides of the equation, 68×(12/34)=x
24=x
So this proves that this is how ratios, are used. It also does not matter what number you place on the numerator or denominator.

Explanation:
The two terms are [tex]5x^3[/tex] and [tex]2[/tex]. Terms are separated by either a plus or minus.
We can write it as [tex]5x^3+(-2)[/tex] which is an equivalent form. Here the two terms are [tex]5x^3[/tex] and [tex]-2[/tex]. This is because adding a negative is the same as subtracting.
The coefficient is the number to the left of the variable.
The degree is the largest exponent, which helps form the leading term.
The third degree polynomial written above is considered a cubic binomial. "Cubic" refers to the third degree, while "binomial" means there are 2 terms.
We can write something like [tex]5x^3[/tex] as 5x^3 when it comes to computer settings.

Q3, i.e median of the upper half
we have the ordered data = 11 12 13 14
The same use case is applicable here.
Median = [tex]\dfrac{12+13}{2}[/tex]
Median = [tex]\dfrac{25}{2}[/tex]
Median = 12.5
Low Q1 Median Q3 High
6 9 11 12.5 14

Megan has 12 pounds of cheesecake. On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. On Sunday, how many pounds of cheesecake does Megan have left?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we start with 12 pounds
On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.
On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.
On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15
On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.
On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.
On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.
On Sunday, she finally has 3 pounds.
