Given:
The sum of the first three terms = 12
The sum of the first six terms = (−84).
To find:
The third term of a geometric progression.
Solution:
The sum of first n term of a geometric progression is:
[tex]S_n=\dfrac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1}[/tex]
Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
The sum of the first three terms is equal to 12, and the sum of the first six terms is equal to (−84).
[tex]\dfrac{a(r^3-1)}{r-1}=12[/tex] ...(i)
[tex]\dfrac{a(r^6-1)}{r-1}=-84[/tex] ...(ii)
Divide (ii) by (i), we get
[tex]\dfrac{r^6-1}{r^3-1}=\dfrac{-84}{12}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{(r^3-1)(r^3+1)}{r^3-1}=-7[/tex]
[tex]r^3+1=-7[/tex]
[tex]r^3=-7-1[/tex]
[tex]r^3=-8[/tex]
Taking cube root on both sides, we get
[tex]r=-2[/tex]
Putting [tex]r=-2[/tex] in (i), we get
[tex]\dfrac{a((-2)^3-1)}{(-2)-1}=12[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{a(-8-1)}{-3}=12[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{-9a}{-3}=12[/tex]
[tex]3a=12[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3.
[tex]a=4[/tex]
The nth term of a geometric progression is:
[tex]a_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]
Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
Putting [tex]n=3,a=4,r=-2[/tex] in the above formula, we get
[tex]a_3=4(-2)^{3-1}[/tex]
[tex]a_3=4(-2)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]a_3=4(4)[/tex]
[tex]a_3=16[/tex]
Therefore, the third term of the geometric progression is 16.
The mean points obtained in an aptitude examination is 167 points with a standard deviation of 20 points. What is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 3.8 points if 76 exams are sampled
Answer:
0.9029 = 90.29% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 3.8 points if 76 exams are sampled
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
The mean points obtained in an aptitude examination is 167 points with a standard deviation of 20 points
This means that [tex]\mu = 167, \sigma = 20[/tex]
Sample of 76:
This means that [tex]n = 76, s = \frac{20}{\sqrt{76}}[/tex]
What is the probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 3.8 points?
P-value of Z when X = 167 + 3.8 = 170.8 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 167 - 3.8 = 163.2. So
X = 170.8
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{170.8 - 167}{\frac{20}{\sqrt{76}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.66[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.66[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9515
X = 163.2
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{163.2 - 167}{\frac{20}{\sqrt{76}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.66[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.66[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0485
0.9514 - 0.0485 = 0.9029
0.9029 = 90.29% probability that the mean of the sample would differ from the population mean by less than 3.8 points if 76 exams are sampled

stay safe healthy and happy. ..A confided aquifer has a piezometric height of 30 feet before being pumped. The well is then pumped at 250 gallons/day for a very long time and results in a drawdown of 10 feet at the well. If the transmissivity in the aquifer is 10.0 ft2/day and the radius of the well is 0.5 feet, estimate the drawdown in feet for a well 50 feet away
Answer:
[tex]d_2=-8.32ft[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Height of first draw down [tex]h=30[/tex]
Pump Discharge [tex]Q=250gallons/day[/tex]
Well 1 depth [tex]d_1=10ft[/tex]

A seller of the property listed at $200,000 excepted a 90% offer the home appraised at $185,000 and the buyers obtained a loan for 85% for 30 years at 5% interest what is the first months interest
Answer:
$637.50
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Question,
Given That, A seller of the property listed at $200,000 excepted a 90% offer the home appraised at $185,000 and the buyers obtained a loan for 85% for 30 years at 5% interestThus, the first months interest is
$200,000 list price x 0.90 = $180,000 contract sales price.
Since lender always uses the less of the appraised value or the contract sales price, use $180,00 for the remainder of the calculations.
$180,000 contract sales price x 0.85 LTV = $153,000 loan. $153,000 loan x 0.05 interest rate = $7,650 annual interest. $7,650 ÷ 12 = $637.50 monthly interest payment for the first month.Answer:
$637.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The appraised value is irrelevant. The lender will consider the lower of the appraised value or the agreed purchase price.
The term of the loan is also irrelevant. It is not an amortization problem.
The first month’s interest is $637.50.

You are installing new carpeting in a family room. The room is rectangular with dimensions 2012feet × 1318feet . You intend to install baseboards around the entire perimeter of the room except for a 312 -foot opening into the kitchen. How many linear feet of board must you purchase?
Answer: 1. When you estimate, it is not an exact measurement. 3ft 8 in gets rounded to 4ft and 12 ft 3 in rounds to 12ft. now find the perimeter. P=2l+2w P= 2*12 +2*4 P=32feet
2. 3ft 8in = 3 8/12 or reduced to 3 2/3 12ft 3in = 12 3/12 or reduced to 12 1/4 The fractional part is referring to a fraction of a foot.
3. The perimeter of the room is P=2l+2w or P=2(12 1/4) + 2(3 2/3) p=24 1/2 + 7 1/3 P= 31 5/6 feet
4. The estimate and the actual are very close. They are 1/6 of a foot apart.
5a. Total baseboard 31 5/6ft - 2 1/4 ft = 29 7/12 feet needed.
5b. Take the total and divide it by 8ft = 29 7/12 divided by 8= 3.7 You are not buying a fraction of a board so you would need 4 boards.

The mean per capita consumption of milk per year is 131 liters with a variance of 841. If a sample of 132 people is randomly selected, what is the probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters
Answer:
0.8389 = 83.89% probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
The mean per capita consumption of milk per year is 131 liters with a variance of 841.
This means that [tex]\mu = 131, \sigma = \sqrt{841} = 29[/tex]
Sample of 132 people
This means that [tex]n = 132, s = \frac{29}{\sqrt{132}}[/tex]
What is the probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 133.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{133.5 - 131}{\frac{29}{\sqrt{132}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.99[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.99[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8389
0.8389 = 83.89% probability that the sample mean would be less than 133.5 liters.

Answer:
200 test tubes will fill the container
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We need to find out how many 5 milliliter tubes will fill a 1 liter container
First, let's convert everything to the same unit, as the tubes and the container are in different units.
Let's do milliliters, as those are smaller than liters and we will avoid having decimals.
there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter (the unit prefix "milli-" means "thousand")
Let's say the number of test tubes needed to fill the container is x
As each tube has 5 milliliters of water, 5x milliliters will equal 1,000 milliliters (1 liter)
as an equation, that's
5x=1,000
divide both sides by 5
x=200
So that means 200 test tubes will fill the container
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Here is how to start

A veces se le dará una expresión numérica, donde todo lo que tiene que hacer es simplificar; esa es más una cuestión de orden de operaciones. En esta lección, me concentraré en el aspecto de la evaluación de "conectar y tragar": introducir valores para las variables y "avanzar" hasta llegar a la respuesta simplificada.
(Por cierto, sí, "plug-n-chug" es una terminología bastante estándar. No es un término "técnico", por lo que probablemente no lo verá en su libro de texto, pero seguramente lo escuchará de otros estudiantes. , y quizás también su instructor.)

Anuncio publicitario
Para encontrar mi respuesta, simplemente conecto los valores dados, teniendo cuidado de usar paréntesis, particularmente alrededor de los signos "menos". Especialmente cuando recién estoy comenzando, dibujar los paréntesis primero puede ser útil:
a2 b
() 2 ()
(–2) 2 (3)
(4) (3)

Observe cómo el uso de paréntesis me ayudó a realizar un seguimiento del signo "menos" en el valor de a. Esto era importante, porque de otro modo podría haber elevado al cuadrado solo el 2, terminando con –4, lo que habría estado mal.
Por cierto, resultó que no necesitábamos los valores de las variables c y d. Cuando se le da un gran conjunto de expresiones para evaluar, debe esperar que a menudo haya una u otra de las variables que no se incluirán en ningún ejercicio en particular del conjunto.
Evalúe a - cd para a = –2, b = 3, c = –4 y d = 4.
En este ejercicio, me dieron información adicional. No hay una b en la expresión que quieren que evalúe, por lo que puedo ignorar este valor en mi trabajo:
