how many terms of AP - 6. - 11 by 2 .minus 5 are needed to be the sum -25​

Answers

Given:

The terms of a sequence are:

[tex]-6,-\dfrac{11}{2},-5[/tex]

To find:

The number of terms whose sum is -25.

Solution:

We have, the given sequence:

[tex]-6,-\dfrac{11}{2},-5[/tex]

Here, the first term is -6.

[tex]-\dfrac{11}{2}-(-6)=-5.5+6[/tex]

[tex]-\dfrac{11}{2}-(-6)=0.5[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]-5-(-\dfrac{11}{2})=-5+5.5[/tex]

[tex]-5-(-\dfrac{11}{2})=0.5[/tex]

The difference between consecutive terms are same. So, the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with common difference 0.5.

The sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

Where, a is the first term, d is the common difference.

Putting [tex]S_n=-25,a=-6,d=0.5[/tex], we get

[tex]-25=\dfrac{n}{2}[2(-6)+(n-1)0.5][/tex]

[tex]-50=n[-12+0.5n-0.5][/tex]

[tex]-50=-12.5n+0.5n^2[/tex]

[tex]0=0.5n^2-12.5n+50[/tex]

Splitting the middle term, we get

[tex]0.5n^2-2.5n-10n+50=0[/tex]

[tex]0.5n(n-5)-10(n-5)=0[/tex]

[tex](0.5n-10)(n-5)=0[/tex]

Using zero product property, we get

[tex](0.5n-10)=0[/tex] and [tex](n-5)=0[/tex]

[tex]n=\dfrac{10}{0.5}[/tex] and [tex]n=5[/tex]

[tex]n=20[/tex] and [tex]n=5[/tex]

Therefore, the sum of either 5 or 20 terms is -25.

There is concern that increased industrialization may be increasing the mineral content of river water. Ten years ago, the silicon content of the water in a certain river was 5 mg/L. Eighty-five water samples taken recently from the river have mean silicon content 5.4 mg/L and standard deviation 1.2 mg/L. a. Find the P-value. b. Do you believe it is plausible that the silicon content of the water is no greater than it was 10 years ago

Answers

Answer:

a) P value = 0.0013

b) No, it is not plausible that the silicon content of the water is no greater than it was 10 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis here is “Mean is equal to 5” while alternate hypothesis is that “Mean is greater than 5”

Given  

Mean = 5, x’ = 5.4 and sigma = 1.2 and n = 85

Z = x-u’/sigma/sqrt n

Substituting the given values, we get –  

Z = 3.02

A) P value = 0.0013 which is less than 0.05 and thus we will reject the null hypothesis

B) There is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis

Answers

Answer:

-14

Explanation:

3 x -3 - 5 = -14

Answer:

-14, -5, 4, and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

For each x value, substitute it for x in the equation.

For the first one where x = -3,

y = 3(-3) - 5

y = -9 - 5

y = -14

So the first one is -14. The next x value is 0

y = 3(0) - 5

y = 0 - 5

y = -5

Second one is -5. The next x value is 3

y = 3(3) - 5

y = 9 - 5

y = 4

Third is 4. The next x value is 6

y = 3(6) - 5

y = 18 - 5

y = 13

So the last one is 13.

How to find an equation for a line through two given points?​

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the line is: [tex]y = 0.6x + 0.6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two points:

We have these following two points in this exercise:

x = -6, y = -3, so (-6,-3)

x = 4, y = 3, so (4,3)

Finding the slope:

Given two points, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

Change in y: 3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6

Change in x: 4 - (-6) = 4 + 6 = 10

So

[tex]m = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6[/tex]

Then

[tex]y = 0.6x + b[/tex]

Finding b:

We replace one of the points in the equation to find b. I will use (4,3).

[tex]y = 0.6x + b[/tex]

[tex]3 = 0.6*4 + b[/tex]

[tex]2.4 + b = 3[/tex]

[tex]b = 0.6[/tex]

The equation of the line is: [tex]y = 0.6x + 0.6[/tex]

Seven television sets are chosen at random (i.e without replacement) from a shipment of 240 television sets of which 15 are defective. Calculate the probability that at least 1 of the chosen televisions are defective

Answers

Answer:

7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one ids attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

Proportion of defective televisions in the shipment = 15/240 = 1/16

Probability that 1 of the 7 chosen is defective = 1/16 x 7 = 7/16

If p and q vary inversely and pis 11 when q is 18, determine q when p is equal to 9.

Answers

Answer:

q = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

p and q are inversely proportional to each other i.e.

[tex]p=\dfrac{k}{q}[/tex]

Put p = 11 and q = 18

So,

[tex]11=\dfrac{k}{18}\\\\k=11\times 18\\\\k=198[/tex]

Now put k = 198, p = 9 and find q. So,

[tex]q=\dfrac{k}{p}\\\\q=\dfrac{198}{9}\\\\q=22[/tex]

Hence, the value of q is equal to 22.

A lab technician mixes a 10% acid solution with a 50% acid solution to create 40 ml of a 40%
solution. How much of each solution must be used?

Answers

Answer:

10 ml of 10%

30 ml of 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

x = amount of 10%

40 - x = amount of 50%

-------------------------------------

10x + 50(40 - x) = 40(40)

10x + 2000 - 50x = 1600

-40x + 2000 = 1600

-40x = -400

x = 10 ml of 10%

40 - x = 30 ml of 50%
