of babies born during the 24th week of the gestation period. She plans to select a random sample of birth
weights of such babies and use the mean of the sample to estimate μ. Assuming that the population of birth
weights of babies born during the 24th week has a standard deviation of 2.8 pounds, what is the minimum
sample size needed for the scientist to be 95% confident that her estimate is within 0.4 pounds of μ?

The formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence is given as follows:

[tex]a_n = 7(-3)^{n - 1}[/tex]

A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a fixed number called the common ratio q.

The formula for the nth term of the sequence is given as follows:

[tex]a_n = a_1q^{n-1}[/tex]

The first term of the sequence is given as follows:

[tex]a_1 = 7[/tex]

Each term is the previous term multiplied by -3, hence the common ratio is given as follows:

q = -3.

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Every number has multiple qualities beyond its distance from zero. Some of the qualities of a number include its sign (positive or negative), its magnitude (Absolute Value), its parity (whether it is even or odd), and its relationship to other numbers (greater than, less than, or equal to). Additionally, numbers can have properties such as being prime or composite, rational or irrational, and real or complex. Therefore, a number is characterized by more than just its distance from zero.

Krell's equity cost of capital, or expected total return, is 5.57%.

We have,

The dividend yield is the annual dividend divided by the current share price:

Dividend yield

= Annual dividend / Share price

= $0.98 / $22.08 = 0.0444 = 4.44%

The equity cost of capital is the expected total return on the stock, which includes both the dividend yield and the expected capital appreciation:

Equity cost of capital = Dividend yield + Capital Appreciation

= 4.44% + [(24.98 - 22.08) / 22.08]

When p = 9 and w = 225, the value of m is 94.5

We know that m varies jointly as p and the square root of w, then we can write.

Answer: x < 5, see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

     To solve for x, we will isolate the given variable.

Given:

  [tex]\displaystyle 1 > \frac{x}{5}[/tex]

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5:

  [tex]\displaystyle5 > x[/tex]

Flip equation:

  [tex]\displaystyle x < 5[/tex]

     To graph, we will first plot a point on 5 with an open circle. Then, we will shade to the left since x is less than 5. See attached.

Where the information relating to the circle and its diameter are given, the equation of the circle would be: "(x  5)²  + y2 = 81" (Option B)

The above is determined by the standard form equation of a circle which is:

(x- h) ² + (y - k)² = r²

Here,

(h, k)  is the center of the circle and r   is the radius

In this case, the center is (-5 , 0) and the diameter is 18, so the radius is half the diameter, whic is 18/ 2 = 9

So making the required substitutions, the expression becomes:

(x-(-5))² + (y-(0))² = 9²

Which becomes

(x  5)²  + y2 = 81

Thus, it is correct to state that Option B is the equation of the circle.

The number of photos from Julia dance class = 5/7 or 40/56 photos.

We shall use mathematical operations to calculate the photos that are of Julia dance class

Five sevenths of the images are photos from dance class, meaning that 5/7 x 56 = 40 photos from dance class.

We express the answer as a fraction with a denominator of 56 like this:

Number of photos / Total number of photos = 40/56

Number of photos from dance class / Total number of photos = 5/7

The equation that represents the number of credits the student has earned after t semesters is C(t) = 12t + 15.

Let x be the number of credits the student had before starting college, and let y be the number of credits the student takes each semester. We can use this information to write an equation that represents the number of credits the student has earned after t semesters.

After 2 semesters, the student had 39 credits, which means the student earned 2y + x credits in those two semesters. Similarly, after 5 semesters, the student had 75 credits, which means the student earned 5y + x credits in those five semesters.

Using this information, we can write the following equation:

C(t) = yt + x

where C(t) represents the number of credits the student has earned after t semesters.

We know that C(2) = 2y + x = 39 and C(5) = 5y + x = 75. We can use these two equations to solve for x and y:

2y + x = 39

5y + x = 75

Subtracting the first equation from the second equation gives:

3y = 36

Therefore, y = 12, which means the student takes 12 credits each semester. Substituting y = 12 into either of the two equations above gives x = 15, which means the student had 15 credits before starting college.

Thus, the equation that represents the number of credits the student has earned after t semesters is C(t) = 12t + 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

260

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score for a normal distribution is given by the formula
[tex]z = \dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

where
X is the data point, μ is the mean and  σ is the standard deviation

Given

Mean μ = 500
Standard deviation σ = 80
z-score = -3

and plugging in these values for z-score formula we get

[tex]-3 = \dfrac{X -500}{80}[/tex]

==>
-240 = X - 500
-240 + 500 = X

260 = X

The area of triangle LMN is 49.61 square units.

We have,

To find the area of triangle LMN.

Area = (1/2) x base x height

where the base and height are the sides of the triangle perpendicular to each other.

First, we need to find the length of side L.

We can use the Law of Cosines.

L² = M² + N² - 2MNcos(132°)

L² = 6² + 8.3² - 268.3cos(132°)

L² = 36 + 68.89 + 99.36

L² = 204.25

L = √204.25

L = 14.28

Now that we know the length of the base of the triangle, we can find the height by dropping a perpendicular from vertex M to side LN.

Since triangle LMN is obtuse, the perpendicular will fall outside of the triangle.

Let's call the foot of the perpendicular point P.

Since M∠M is 132°, we can find the measure of the acute angle ∠LMP:

M∠LMP = 180° - M∠M

M∠LMP = 180° - 132°

M∠LMP = 48°

We can use trigonometry to find the length of MP:

tan(48°) = h/6

h = 6 x tan(48°)

h = 6.93

The area of triangle LMN is:

Area = (1/2) x base x height

Area = (1/2) x 14.28 x 6.93

Area ≈ 49.61

Thus,

The area of triangle LMN is 49.61 square units.

If Lois is retiring from her job after 27 years, then if she waited for 4 years, her pension will be $38 higher than if she retires this year.

If Lois retires this year, the flat-amount is $52, So, her monthly pension can be calculated as follows;

⇒ Monthly pension = (52 × 27)/12,

⇒ Monthly pension = $117,

If Lois works for another 4 years, the flat amount used to calculate her monthly pension will increase to $60 for each year of service.

So, her monthly pension will be calculated as follows:

⇒ Monthly pension = (60 × 31)/12,

⇒ Monthly pension = $155,

So, The difference in monthly pension between retiring this year and retiring after working another 4 years can be calculated as follows:

⇒ Difference in monthly pension = $155 - $117,

⇒ Difference in monthly pension = $38,

Therefore, if Lois waits another 4 years before retiring, her monthly pension will be $38 higher than if she retires this year.
