4. Function h describes the height of a ball, in inches, after n bounces and is defined by
the equation h(n) = 120 * (4/5)^n

Could h(n) be 150? Explain how you

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

(4/5)^n will always be ≤ 1  for any positve n

Answer 2

The equation h ( n ) = 150 is false

No , the height of the ball cannot be 150 inches

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

h ( n ) = 120 x ( 4/5 )ⁿ

Now , substitute the value of h ( n ) = 150 , we get

150 = 120 ( 4/5 )ⁿ

Divide by 120 on both sides of the equation , we get

150 / 120 = ( 4/5 )ⁿ

On simplifying the equation , we get

5/4 = ( 4/5 )ⁿ

The equation is not true because we have a exponential decay function here. This height of the ball decreases with each bounce.

At bounce 0 the height of the ball is 120 inches, and then continuously decreases with a common factor of 4/5

Therefore , the value of h ( n ) can never be 150

Hence , the equation h ( n ) = 150 is false

Solve for angle A with sides 6,10,9

Answers

Answer:

c = 13.52 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

So for this, lets use the Law of Sines, which says that:

Sin A / a = Sin B / b = Sin C / c

We have everything for this except the the angle measure of angle C. This can be found by doing 180 - 80 - 33, since the total interior angle measure of a triangle always equals 180 degrees.

180 - 80 - 33 = 67 degrees

With this, we can use the angle & side of A/a as well as the angle of C to get the side of c by using the Law of Sines

Sin A / a = Sin C / c

sin 33/8 = sin 67/c

c = 8*sin67 / sin 33

c = 13.52 units.

An exercise scientist wanted to test the effectiveness of a new program designed to increase the flexibility of senior citizens. They recruited participants and rated their flexibility according to a standard scale before starting the program. The participants all went through the program and had their flexibility rated again after a month. The scientist wants to test if the flexibility ratings are significantly higher after a month of the program. Assume that these participants can be considered a representative sample and that all other necessary conditions for inference were met. Which of these is the most appropriate test and alternative hypothesis?
a) Paired t test with H : Mafter before > 0
b) Paired t test with H.: Hafier-before +0
c) Two-sample t test with H: Mbefore > Hafter
d) Two sample t test with H.: wore Manter
e) Two sample t test with H: Meedore Aladder

Answers

Answer:

a) Paired t test with H : Mafter before > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

As we do not know anything about variances we will perform a paired t test.

We want to check the effectiveness of the  new program designed to increase the flexibility of senior citizens.

So we will perform a test where the mean after the program is greater than the mean before the program.

The best option is a.

Option  a defines both objectives paired t test and difference of mean after and mean before is greater than zero.

Other options are not correct as they miss out one of the both objectives.

If the daily returns on the stock market are normally distributed with a mean of .05% and a standard deviation of 1%, the probability that the stock market would have a return of -23% or worse on one particular day (as it did on Black Monday) is approximately __________.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the stock market would have a return of -23% or worse on one particular day (as it did on Black Monday) is approximately 0%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If the daily returns on the stock market are normally distributed with a mean of .05% and a standard deviation of 1%

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.05, \sigma = 1[/tex]

The probability that the stock market would have a return of -23% or worse on one particular day (as it did on Black Monday) is approximately

This is the p-value of Z when X = -23. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{-23 - 0.05}{1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -23.05[/tex]

[tex]Z = -23.05[/tex] has a p-value of approximately 0. So

The probability that the stock market would have a return of -23% or worse on one particular day (as it did on Black Monday) is approximately 0%.

what is the area of the pentagon shown below a.27 square feet b. 58.5 c.85.5 d.117

Explain why.

Answers

Answer:

Option B, Area of pentagon = 58.5 Square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining part of the question is attached as image

Solution

Area of pentagon has a triangle and a trapezoid

Area of triangle = 0.5 *base *height = 0.5*9 *3 = 13.5  square feet

Area of trapezoid = Area of rectangle – 2* area of smaller triangles

= 9 ft * 6ft – ( 2 * 0.5 * 6 ft * (9 ft – 6ft) /2

= 54 – (1*6*1.5)

Area of pentagon = 13.5 + 45 = 58.5 Square feet

Hence, option B is correct

Geometric sequences HELP ASAP!

Answers

Given:

The table for a geometric sequence.

To find:

The formula for the given sequence and the 10th term of the sequence.

Solution:

In the given geometric sequence, the first term is 1120 and the common ratio is:

[tex]r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}[/tex]

[tex]r=\dfrac{560}{1120}[/tex]

[tex]r=0.5[/tex]

The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

[tex]a_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Putting [tex]a=1120, r=0.5[/tex], we get

[tex]a_n=1120(0.5)^{n-1}[/tex]

Therefore, the required formula for the given sequence is [tex]a_n=1120(0.5)^{n-1}[/tex].

We need to find the 10th term of the given sequence. So, substituting [tex]n=10[/tex] in the above formula.

[tex]a_{10}=1120(0.5)^{10-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_{10}=1120(0.5)^{9}[/tex]

[tex]a_{10}=1120(0.001953125)[/tex]

[tex]a_{10}=2.1875[/tex]

Therefore, the 10th term of the given sequence is 2.1875.

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations of lines are given in the form:

y = mx + b;

where m is the slope of the line, b is the y intercept and x, y are variables.

From the graph, we can see that line 1 passes through (0,6) and (6,0) while line 2 passes through (0, 1) and (6, 5).

The equation of line 1 is given as:

[tex]y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\y-6=\frac{0-6}{6-0} (x-0)\\\\y=-x + 6\ \ \ (1)[/tex]

The equation of line 2 is given as:

[tex]y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\y-1=\frac{5-1}{6-0} (x-0)\\\\y=\frac{2}{3}x + 1\ \ \ (2)[/tex]

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously by subtracting equation 1 from 2 gives:

(5/3)x - 5 = 0

(5/3)x = 5

x = 3

Put x = 3 in equation 1:

y = -3 + 6 = 3

Suppose that the number of gallons of milk sold per day at a local supermarket are normally distributed with mean and standard deviation of 486.9 and 24.01, respectively. What is the probability that on a given day the supermarket will sell between 477 and 525 gallons of milk

Answers

Answer:

0.6032 = 60.32% probability that on a given day the supermarket will sell between 477 and 525 gallons of milk

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean and standard deviation of 486.9 and 24.01, respectively.

This means that [tex]\mu = 486.9, \sigma = 24.01[/tex]

What is the probability that on a given day the supermarket will sell between 477 and 525 gallons of milk?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 525 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 477.

X = 525

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{525 - 486.9}{24.01}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.59[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.59[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9441

X = 477

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{477 - 486.9}{24.01}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.41[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.41[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3409

0.9441 - 0.3409 = 0.6032

0.6032 = 60.32% probability that on a given day the supermarket will sell between 477 and 525 gallons of milk
