In an arithmetic series, what is the sum of the first 22 terms if the first term is 12 and the common difference is 3?

Answers

Answer:

561

Step-by-step explanation:

an = dn - (a-d)

The difference is 3.

The first term is 12.

an = 3n - (12-3)

an = 3n - 9

Put n as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ....22.

3(1) - 9 = -6

3(2) - 9 = -3

3(3) - 9 = 0

3(4) - 9 = 3

3(5) - 9 = 6

...

3(22) - 9 = 57

Add the first 22 terms.

-6+-3+0+3+6+9+12+15+18+21+24+27+30+33+36+39+42+45+48+51+54+57

Answer:  a) 110√2 meters

                b) 2.42 hectares

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since it is a square, the diagonal cuts the square into two 45-45-90 triangles where the diagonal is the hypotenuse.  Therefore, the sides are length x and the diagonal is length x√2.

[tex]x\sqrt2=220\\\\\\x=\dfrac{220}{\sqrt2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{220}{\sqrt2}\bigg(\dfrac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2}\bigg)\\\\\\x=\large\boxed{110\sqrt2}[/tex]

Which of the following compositions of transformations will always produce the same image, regardless of the order in which the transformations are performed?

Answers

Answer:

All compositions are affected by the order in which they are performed

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following transformations:

-translation

-reflection

-rotation

Each of them are affected by the order in which they are performed, for example:

If we rotate we have:

(x, y) -> (y, -x).

After the reflection:

(y, -x) -> (-y, -x).

If we translated by <2, 5> and reflected through the y-axis:

After the translation, (x, y) -> (x + 2, y + 5)

In other words, all compositions are affected by the order in which they are performed

A group of 20 people visited Anglesey for a weekend break.
• 10 of the group visited Beaumaris Castle.
• 13 of the group visited South Stack Lighthouse.
• 4 of the group did not visit either of these places.

Complete the Venn diagram below by stating the number of people in each region A,B,C and D to show this information.
The universal set, ε, contains all of the 20 people in the group.

Answers

Answer:

A = 4, B = 3, C = 7, D = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 4 because A represents the number of people who didn't visit either place. This means that B + C + D = 20 - 4 = 16. To find C, which is the overlap we can do 10 + 13 - 16 = 7 so C = 7 which means B = 10 - 7 = 3 and D = 13 - 7 = 6.

A = 4, B = 3, C = 7, D = 6

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the hourly fee.

To do this, we simply have to divide the 5 hour fee price (350) by the number of hours worked.(5):

Mathematically speaking:

350/5 = $70 per hour

An experimental probability is the number of times an event occurred when actually attempted.

So, if Jo does the experiment 60 times and receives 50 unpainted balls, then calculate how many painted balls she got:

60-50 = 10.

So, the probability of picking a painted ball = 10/60 = 1/6

A salad bar offers vegetable platters in 4 sizes (small, medium, large, and super-sized) and 6 different vegetables to choose from. Different platters can be created by changing the size and/or the choice of vegetables. If Selena wants to order a platter with exactly 2 different vegetables, how many different platters could she create?

Answers

Answer:

The number of different platters Selena can create by selecting two different vegetables is 60 different platters

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

The number of different sizes of salad available = 4

The number of different vegetable to choose from = 6

The number of vegetables Selena ordered = 2

The number of ways Selena can choose 2 vegetables out of 6 = ₆C₂ = 15 ways

The number of different platters (choice of vegetable and size of platter) Selena can create = The number of different sizes of salad available × The number of ways Selena can choose the vegetables

The number of different platters (choice of vegetable and size of platter) Selena can create = 4 × 15 = 60 different platters.

Jasmine knows that the area of a rectangle is the product of its base and height. Help her write an expression that represents the area of this rectangle, and then use the expression to find the area when b = 10

Answers

Answer:

Area of rectangle = H × B

Area of rectangle = 10(H)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base (B) = 10

Height = H

Find:

Area of rectangle

Computation:

Area of rectangle = Height × Base

Area of rectangle = H × B

So,

Area of rectangle = H × B              [Base (B) = 10]

⇒ Area of rectangle = H × 10

⇒ Area of rectangle = 10(H)

Answer:

The expression that represents the area of this rectangle is 8b

When b = 10, the area of the rectangle is 80 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle’s base is b units, and its height is 8 units. The area of the rectangle is the product of its base and height, which is 8b.

To find the area of the rectangle when b = 10, substitute 10 for b in the expression:

8b= 8(10)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

both divide by 60 so do 60 divided by 60 which is one

then 180 divided by 60 which is three

this gives you the answer

Answer:

1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

a ratio is basically the same as a fraction just in a different form. so it would be 60/180 simplified. both 60 and 180 can be divided by 60. so you would divide both numbers by 60 to get 1/3. this cannot be simplified any further. then to put it as a ratio it would just be 1:3

A study was conducted to determine the proportion of people who dream in black and white instead of color. Among 290 people over the age of 55, 68 dream in black and white and among 288 people under the age of 25, 19 dream in black and white. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion of those underIdentify the test statistic?Identify the p value?Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence level?What is the conclusion base on the hypothesis test?What is the conclusion base on the confidence level?

Answers

Answer:

he proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion of those under.

The proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white lies in the range (0.112, 0.226).

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to determine if the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion of those under.

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:  

H₀: The proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is not greater than the proportion of those under, i.e. p₁ - p₂ ≤ 0.  

Hₐ: The proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion of those under, i.e. p₁ - p₂ > 0.  

The information provided is:

n₁ = 290

n₂ = 288

X₁ = 68

X₂ = 19

Compute the sample proportions and total proportions as follows:

 [tex]\hat p_{1}=\frac{X_{1}}{n_{1}}=\frac{68}{290}=0.235\\\\\hat p_{2}=\frac{X_{2}}{n_{1}}=\frac{19}{288}=0.066\\\\\hat P=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{68+19}{290+288}=0.151[/tex]

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

 [tex]z=\frac{\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat P(1-\hat P)[\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}]}}[/tex]

    [tex]=\frac{0.235-0.066}{\sqrt{0.151(1-0.151)[\frac{1}{290}+\frac{1}{288}]}}\\\\=5.67[/tex]

The test statistic value is 5.67.

The decision rule is:

The null hypothesis will be rejected if the p-value of the test is less than the significance level.

Compute the p-value as follows:

 [tex]p-value=P(Z>5.67)\\=1-P(Z<5.67)\\=1-\approx1\\=0[/tex]

The p-value of the test is quite small.

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 5% significance level.

Thus, the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white is greater than the proportion of those under.

The significance level of the test is 5%.

Then the confidence level will be:

Confidence level = 100% - Significance level

                             = 100% - 5%

                             = 95%

Compute the 95% confidence interval for the difference between proportions as follows:

[tex]CI=(\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p{1})}{n_{1}}+\frac{\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p{2})}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

The critical value of z for 95% confidence level is z = 1.96.

[tex]CI=(\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p{1})}{n_{1}}+\frac{\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p{2})}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

      [tex]=(0.235-0.066)\pm1.96\cdot\sqrt{\frac{0.235(1-0.235)}{290}+\frac{0.066(1-0.066)}{288}}\\\\=0.169\pm 0.057\\\\=(0.112, 0.226)[/tex]

The null hypothesis would be rejected if the null value, i.e. (p₁ - p₂) ≤ 0 is not contained in the interval.

The 95% confidence interval consist of values greater than 0.

Thus, the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Concluding that the proportion of people over 55 who dream in black and white lies in the range (0.112, 0.226).
