A bouncy ball is dropped such that the height of its first bounce is 6 feet and each successive bounce is 72% of the previous bounce's height. What would be the height of the 6th bounce of the ball? Round to the nearest tenth (if necessary).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The height of the 6th bounce of the ball will be 1.2 feet.

What is geometric sequence?

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term is found by multiplying the preceding term by the same value.

What is the formula for finding the nth term of geometric sequence?

The nth term of the geometric sequence is given by

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

Where,

[tex]T_{n}[/tex] is the nth term.

r is the common ratio

a is the first term

According to the given question.

During the first bounce, height of the ball from the ground, a = 6 feet

And, the each successive bounce is 72% of the previous bounce's height.

So,

During the second bounce, the height of ball from the ground

= 72% of 6

= [tex]\frac{72}{100} (6)[/tex]

= 0.72 × 6

= 4.32 feet

During the third bounce, the height of ball from the ground

= 72% of 4.32

= [tex]\frac{72}{100} (4.32)[/tex]

= 3.11 feet

Like this we will obtain a geometric sequence 6, 4.32, 3.11, 2.23,...

And the common ratio of the geometric sequence is 0.72

Therefore,

The sixth term of the geometric sequence is given by

[tex]T_{6} = 6(0.72)^{6-1}[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} =6(0.72)^{5}[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} = 6 (0.193)[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} = 1.16 feet[/tex]

[tex]T_{6} = 1.2[/tex] feet

Hence, the height of the 6th bounce of the ball will be 1.2 feet.

Samples G and H were selected from the same population of quantitative data and the mean of each sample was determined. The mean of sample G is equal to the mean of the population. Which of the following statements must be true?

I. The mean of sample H must also be equal to the population mean.
II. The mean of sample G, TG, is a point estimator for the mean of the population.
III. The mean of sample H, my, is a point estimator for the mean of the population.

a. I only
b. II only
c. III only
d. I and II
e. II and III

Answers

Answer: e. II and III

II. The mean of sample G, TG, is a point estimator for the mean of the population.

III. The mean of sample H, my, is a point estimator for the mean of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate simply means deriving a single value from a sample which could be used as a good or close estimate of the population from which the sample was drawn. A point estimator for the mean in the scenario above means a best guess of the mean value of the population from the sample mean.

Hence, since both sample G and H are drawn from the same population, both TG and TH which are mean of sample G and H can be used as a point estimator for the mean of the population.

However, it is does not necessarily mean that either the sample mean TG or TH must be equal to the population mean

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 5 to 8. If there are 232 women working for the company, what is the total number of employees?

Answers

Answer:

The total number of employees is 377.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You divide total number of women (232) by the ratio of women. (8)

232/8 =29

2. You take 29 and multiply it by the amount of men in the ratio. (5)

29*5=145

3. Finally you just add the total amount of men (145) and the total amount of women. (232)

232+145=377

I hope this helps!

I tried to explain to the best of my ability.

Answer: 377 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of men to women can be represented as [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] where the numerator represents how many men are in the company, and the denominator represents how many women are in the company. Given that there are 232 women in the company, we can replace denominator with 232, and then cross multiply.

[tex]\frac{5}{8}= \frac{x}{232}[/tex]    After cross multiplying, the expression left would be 8x = 1160. To get the final answer, we would only need to simplify this. It would give us a total of 145, which is how many men work in the company.

Lastly, add the the number or men and women working in the company, and that would be the total people that work in the company

The given numbers are : 32 , 48 , 140 , 120

First number is 32

Second number is 48

Third number is 140

The amount of time six randomly selected volleyball players play during a game.
Is it: Discrete or Continuous

Answers

Answer: continuous random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

A discrete random variable is defined as a random variable which consists of countable number. Examples include numbers of shoes, number of sales etc.

A continuous random variable is a random variable whereby the data can take several values. It is a random variable that takes time into consideration.

Therefore, the amount of time six randomly selected volleyball players play during a game will be a continuous random variable since time so involved.

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

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

A = 44/13 divided by ( -9 (

First, we can simplify 44/13 to a decimal:

44/13 = 3.3846 (rounded to four decimal places)

Then we can divide 3.3846 by -9:

3.3846 / (-9) = -0.3761 (rounded to four decimal places)

Answer:

$13,724

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are given the following values:

Principal = P = $12,000

Interest = r = 2.25% = 0.0225

Compounded semi annually = n = 2

Time (t) = 6 years

From the question, we understand that we are to find the total (full) Amount Karen withdrew.

The formula to use to calculate the Total Amount of money given that this is a compound interest question is:

Total(full) Amount = P( 1 + r/n) ^n/t

= $12,000( 1 + 0.0225/2) ^2×6

= $12,000(1.01125)^12

= $13724.093289

Approximately to the nearest cent

≈ $13,724

Therefore, Karen withdrew $13,724 from the account.

Find the approximate area of the shaded region below, consisting of a right triangle with a circle cut out of it.

Use 3.14 as an approximation for π .

Answers

Answer:

1,254 sqaure ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the radius of the circle, 202=10, to find the area of the circle: A=πr2=π(10)2=π⋅100≈3.14⋅100=314square meters. The area of the triangle is: A=12b⋅h=12⋅56⋅56=12⋅3,136=1,568 The area of the shaded region equals the area of the triangle minus the area of the circle. This is approximately 1,568-314=1,254 square meters.

The area of the shaded region is 1,254 square ft, consisting of a right triangle with a circle cut out of it.

What is the area of the circle?

The area of the circle is equal to the product of the square of the radius of the circle and pi.

A = πr²

where 'r' is the radius of the circle

Use the radius of the circle, 20/2 =10, to find the area of the circle:

A = πr²= π(10)² = π⋅100 ≈ 3.14⋅100 = 314 square meters.

The area of the triangle is:

A=12b⋅h = 12⋅56⋅56 = 12⋅3,136 = 1,568

The area of the shaded region equals the area of the triangle and subtracts the area of the circle.

This is approximately 1,568 - 314 = 1,254 square meters.

Hence, the correct answer would be an option (B).
