Consider the sequence {an}={3n+13n−3n3n+1}. Graph this sequence and use your graph to help you answer the following questions.
Answers
Part 1: You can simplify [tex]a_n[/tex] to
[tex]\dfrac{3n+1}{3n}-\dfrac{3n}{3n+1} = \dfrac1{3n}+\dfrac1{3n+1}[/tex]
Presumably, the sequence starts at n = 1. It's easy to see that the sequence is strictly decreasing, since larger values of n make either fraction smaller.
(a) So, the sequence is bounded above by its first value,
[tex]|a_n| \le a_1 = \dfrac13+\dfrac14 = \boxed{\dfrac7{12}}[/tex]
(b) And because both fractions in [tex]a_n[/tex] converge to 0, while remaining positive for any natural number n, the sequence is bounded below by 0,
[tex]|a_n| \ge \boxed{0}[/tex]
(c) Finally, [tex]a_n[/tex] is bounded above and below, so it is a bounded sequence.
Part 2: Yes, [tex]a_n[/tex] is monotonic and strictly decreasing.
Part 3:
(a) I assume the choices are between convergent and divergent. Any monotonic and bounded sequence is convergent.
(b) Since [tex]a_n[/tex] is decreasing and bounded below by 0, its limit as n goes to infinity is 0.
Part 4:
(a) We have
[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{10n^2+1}{n^2+n} = \lim_{n\to\infty}10+\frac1{n^2}}{1+\frac1n} = 10[/tex]
and the (-1)ⁿ makes this limit alternate between -10 and 10. So the sequence is bounded but clearly not monotonic, and hence divergent.
(b) Taking the limit gives
[tex]\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{10n^3+1}{n^2+n} = \lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{10+\frac1{n^3}}{\frac1n+\frac1{n^2}} = \infty[/tex]
so the sequence is unbounded and divergent. It should also be easy to see or establish that the sequence is strictly increasing and thus monotonic.
For the next three, I'm guessing the options here are something to the effect of "does", "may", or "does not".
(c) may : the sequence in (a) demonstrates that a bounded sequence need not converge
(d) does not : a monotonic sequence has to be bounded in order to converge, otherwise it grows to ± infinity.
(e) does : this is true and is known as the monotone convergence theorem.

Critical Thinking: Empirical/Quantitative Skills
United flight 15 from New York's JFK to San Francisco uses a Boeing 757-200 with 180 seats. Because some
people with tickets don't show up. United will overbook by selling more than 180 tickets. If the flight is not
overbooked, the airline will lose revenue due to empty seats, but if too many tickets are sold and some
passengers are denied seats, the airline loses money from the compensation that must be given to bumped
passengers. Assume that there is a 0.905 probability that a passenger with a ticket will show up for the
flight. Also assume that the airline sells 200 tickets for the 180 seats that are available.
1. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Show your calculation (i.e. what you put in the calculator) and round to 4 decimals.
2. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.

Answer:
1. 0.0910 = 9.10% probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
2. 0.4522 = 45.22% probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
3. 0.5478 = 54.78% probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
Assume that there is a 0.905 probability that a passenger with a ticket will show up for the flight.
This means that [tex]p = 0.905[/tex]
Also assume that the airline sells 200 tickets
This means that [tex]n = 200[/tex]
Question 1:
Exactly, so we can use the P(X = x) formula, to find P(X = 180).
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 180) = C_{200,180}.(0.905)^{180}.(0.095)^{20} = 0.0910[/tex]
0.0910 = 9.10% probability that exactly 180 passengers show up for the flight.
2. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Now we have to use the approximation.
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]\mu = E(X) = np = 200*0.905 = 181[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{200*0.905*0.095} = 4.15[/tex]
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(X \leq 180 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 180.5)[/tex], which is the p-value of Z when X = 180.5. Thus
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{180.5 - 181}{4.15}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.12[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.12[/tex] has a p-value of 0.4522.
0.4522 = 45.22% probability that at most 180 passengers show up for the flight.
3. When 200 tickets are sold, calculate the probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.
Complementary event with at most 180 passengers showing up, which means that the sum of these probabilities is 1. So
[tex]p + 0.4522 = 1[/tex]
[tex]p = 1 - 0.4522 = 0.5478[/tex]
0.5478 = 54.78% probability that more than 180 passengers show up for the flight.

A scientist has acid solutions with concentrations of 4% and 15%. He wants to mix some of each solution to get 44 milliliters of solution with a 12% concentration. How many milliliters of each solution does he need to mix together?
Answers
Let x and y be the amounts (in mL) of the 4% and 15% solutions, respectively, that the scientist needs to use.
He wants to end up with a 44 mL solution, so
x + y = 44 mL
Each milliliter of 4% solution contains 0.04 mL of acid, while each mL of 15% contains 0.15 mL of acid. The resulting solution should have a concentration of 12%, so that each mL of it contains 0.12 mL of acid. Then the solution will contain
0.04x + 0.15y = 0.12 × (44 mL) = 5.28 mL
of acid.
Solve for x and y. In the first equation, we have y = 44 mL - x, and substituting into the second equation gives
0.04x + 0.15 (44 mL - x) = 5.28 mL
0.04x + 6.6 mL - 0.15x = 5.28 mL
1.32 mL = 0.19x
x ≈ 6.95 mL
==> y ≈ 37.05 mL

4x+12 = 60

The population, P(t), in millions, of a country, in year t, is given by the formula P(t) = 24 + 0.4t. What are the values of the population for t = 10, 20,
and 30?
Answers
Answer:
B. 28, 32, 36 millions
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
Where,
P(t) = population in millions
t = number of years
✔️Value of the population when t = 10:
Plug in t = 10 into P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
P(t) = 24 + 0.4(10)
P(t) = 24 + 4
P(t) = 28 million
✔️Value of the population when t = 20:
Plug in t = 20 into P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
P(t) = 24 + 0.4(20)
P(t) = 24 + 8
P(t) = 32 million
✔️Value of the population when t = 30:
Plug in t = 30 into P(t) = 24 + 0.4t
P(t) = 24 + 0.4(30)
P(t) = 24 + 12
P(t) = 36 million
Lost-time accidents occur in a company at a mean rate of 0.8 per day. What is the probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 10 days will be no more than 2
Answers
Answer:
0.01375 = 1.375% probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 10 days will be no more than 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the mean during the interval, which means that the Poisson distribution is used.
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.
Lost-time accidents occur in a company at a mean rate of 0.8 per day.
This means that [tex]\mu = 0.8n[/tex], in which n is the number of days.
10 days:
This means that [tex]n = 10, \mu = 0.8(10) = 8[/tex]
What is the probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 10 days will be no more than 2?
This is:
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-8}*8^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.00034[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-8}*8^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.00268[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-8}*8^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.01073[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.00034 + 0.00268 + 0.01073 = 0.01375[/tex]
0.01375 = 1.375% probability that the number of lost-time accidents occurring over a period of 10 days will be no more than 2.

Answers
Answer:
Hence the 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is [tex](79.24 , 97.44)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Point estimate = sample mean = [tex]\bar x[/tex] = 88.34
sample standard deviation = s = 19.22
sample size = n = 14
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 13
Critical value =[tex]t\alpha /2,[/tex] df = 1.771
Margin of error
[tex]E = t\alpha/2,df \times (\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } )\\= 1.771 \times (19.22 / \sqrt 14)[/tex]
Margin of error = E = 9.10
The 90% confidence interval estimate of the population mean is,
[tex]\bar x - E < \mu < \bar x + E\\\\88.34 - 9.10 < \mu < 88.34 + 9.10\\\\79.24 < \mu < 97.44\\(79.24 , 97.44)[/tex]

Hi there!
Point-slope form: [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex] where [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is a point and [tex]m[/tex] is the slope
1) Determine the slope
[tex]m=\frac{\displaystyle y_2-y_1}{\displaystyle x_2-x_2}[/tex] where two given points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{\displaystyle -2-6}{\displaystyle 3-(-2)}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle -8}{\displaystyle 3+2}\\\\m=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}[/tex]
Therefore, the slope of the line is [tex]-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}[/tex]. Plug this into [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]:
[tex]y-y_1=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-x_1)[/tex]
2) Plug in a point [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex]
[tex]y-y_1=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-x_1)[/tex]
We're given two points, (-2, 6) and (3,-2), so there are two ways we can write this equation:

OR
[tex]y-(-2)=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-3)\\y+2=-\frac{\displaystyle 8}{\displaystyle 5}(x-3)[/tex]
