Terms of geometric sequence are found by the formula T n = ar n - 1. If a = 3 and r = 2, find the first 4 terms of the sequence.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

 3, 6, 12, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps if the formula is properly written.

 Tn = a·r^(n-1)

Fill in the given values for a, r, and use n = 1 to 4.

 T1 = 3·2^(1-1) = 3

 T2 = 3·2^(2-1) = 6

 T3 = 3·2^(3 -1) = 12

 T4 = 3·2^(4 -1) = 24

__

Additional comment

The value a=3 tells you the first term is 3. The value r=2 tells you each term is 2 times the previous one. Knowing this, you can write down the sequence based on your knowledge of multiplication tables (×2). You can use the formula as we did above, but it isn't necessary.

Police sometimes measure shoe prints at crime scenes so that they can learn something about criminals. Listed below are shoe print​ lengths, foot​ lengths, and heights of males. Construct a​ scatterplot, find the value of the linear correlation coefficient​ r, and find the​ P-value of r. Determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of linear correlation between the two variables. Based on these​ results, does it appear that police can use a shoe print length to estimate the height of a​ male? Use a significance level of α=0.01

Answers

It does not appear that police can use a shoe print length to estimate the height of a​ male.

The given parameters are:

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}{Shoe\ Print} & {28.6} & {29.4} & {32.2} & {32.4} & {27.3} \ \\ Height (cm) & {172.5} & {176.7} & {188.4} & {170.1} & {179.2} \ \end{array}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}{x} & {28.6} & {29.4} & {32.2} & {32.4} & {27.3} \ \\ y & {172.5} & {176.7} & {188.4} & {170.1} & {179.2} \ \end{array}[/tex]

See attachment for scatter plot

To determine the correlation coefficient, we extend the table as follows:

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}{x} & {28.6} & {29.4} & {32.2} & {32.4} & {27.3} & y & {172.5} & {176.7} & {188.4} & {170.1} & {179.2} & x^2 & {817.96} & {864.36} & {1036.84} & {1049.76} & {745.29} & y^2 & {29756.25} & {31222.89} & {35494.56} & {28934.01} & {32112.64} & x \times y & {4933.5} & {5194.98} & {6066.48} & {5511.24} & {4892.16} \ \end{array}[/tex]

The correlation coefficient (r) is:

[tex]r = \frac{\sum(x - \bar x)(y - \bar y)}{\sqrt{SS_x * SS_y}}[/tex]

We have:

[tex]n =5[/tex]

[tex]\sum xy =4933.5+5194.98+6066.48+5511.24+4892.16 =26598.36[/tex]

[tex]\sum x =28.6+29.4+32.2+32.4+27.3=149.9[/tex]

[tex]\sum y =172.5+176.7+188.4+170.1+179.2=886.9[/tex]

Calculate mean of x and y

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n} = \frac{149.9}{5} = 29.98[/tex]

[tex]\bar y = \frac{\sum y}{n} = \frac{886.9}{5} = 177.38[/tex]

Calculate SSx and SSy

[tex]SS_x = \sum (x - \bar x)^2 =(28.6-29.98)^2 + (29.4-29.98)^2 + (32.2-29.98)^2 + (32.4-29.98)^2 + (27.3-29.98)^2 =20.208[/tex]

[tex]SS_y = \sum (y - \bar x)^2 =(172.5-177.38)^2 + (176.7-177.38)^2 + (188.4-177.38)^2 + (170.1-177.38)^2 + (179.2-177.38)^2 =202.028[/tex]

Calculate [tex]\sum(x - \bar x)(y - \bar y)[/tex]

[tex]\sum(x - \bar x)(y - \bar y) = (28.6-29.98)*(172.5-177.38) + (29.4-29.98)*(176.7-177.38) + (32.2-29.98)*(188.4-177.38) + (32.4-29.98)*(170.1-177.38) + (27.3-29.98) *(179.2-177.38) =9.098[/tex]

So:

[tex]r = \frac{\sum(x - \bar x)(y - \bar y)}{\sqrt{SS_x * SS_y}}[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{9.098}{\sqrt{20.208 * 202.028}}[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{9.098}{\sqrt{4082.581824}}[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{9.098}{63.90}[/tex]

[tex]r = 0.142[/tex]

Calculate test statistic:

[tex]t = \frac{r}{\sqrt{\frac{1 - r^2}{n-2}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{0.142}{\sqrt{\frac{1 - 0.142^2}{5-2}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{0.142}{\sqrt{\frac{0.979836}{3}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{0.142}{\sqrt{0.326612}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{0.142}{0.5715}[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.248[/tex]

Calculate the degrees of freedom

[tex]df = n - 2 = 5 - 2 = 3[/tex]

The [tex]t_{\alpha/2}[/tex] value at:

[tex]df =3[/tex]

[tex]t = 0.248[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

The value is:

[tex]t_{0.01/2} = \±5.841[/tex]

This means that we reject the null hypothesis if the t value is not between -5.841 and 5.841

We calculate the t value as:

[tex]t = 0.248[/tex]

[tex]-5.841 < 0.248 < 5.841[/tex]

Hence, we do not reject the null hypothesis because they do not appear to have any correlation.

The number that satisfies the given statement is 3.

We are given that twice a number increased by the product of the number and 14 results in 48.

We will find the value of the number that we used in the given above statement.

Understand the meaning of the keywords used in the statement.

Increased means addition.

Product means multiplication.

Results mean equal to sign.

Let's write the given statement in equation form.

Consider P = the number

Twice a number = 2P

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the quadratic formula, we first need the equation in standard form for a quadratic. We can get there by multiplying the equation by 3(x -3).

  2(3) +4(3(x -3)) = (x +4)(x -3)

Answers

First we have to figure out how long it would take for the full voyage and that would be 135 + (135 x 1/3) and the answer to that would be 135 + 45 = 180 and that means that 180 is the total minutes it would take to travel the whole trip, now we have to calculate average speed which would be 135(distance)/180(time) which would end up being 135 miles/ 3 hours, now we divide the entire equation by 3 which would be 45/1
CONCLUSION ——————————
Ali would be driving 45 miles per hour

Ali's average speed was 40 miles per hour.

What is an average speed?

The total distance traveled is to be divided by the total time consumed brings us the average speed.

How to calculate the average speed of Ali?

The total distance between the college from Ali's house is 135 miles.

She drove 2/3rd of the total distance in 135 minutes.

(x - 2)/3

(x - 4)/-5 or (-x + 4)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

this is an inverse function, and to solve an inverse function you would :

swap x and g(x) without bringing the x coefficient with it, just simply swap the variables. Then, solve for g(x), and that's it

the first question's answer is :

g(x) = 3x + 2

x = 3(g(x)) + 2

x - 2 = 3(g(x))

(x - 2)/3 = g(x)

the second one is:

g(x) = 4 - 5x

x = 4 - 5(g(x))

x - 4 = -5(g(x))

(x-4)/-5 = g(x)

g(x) = 3x + 2

y = 3x + 2

x = 3y + 2

3y = x - 2

y = x/3 - 2/3

inverse g(x) = (x - 2) / 3

g(x) = 4 - 5x

y = 4 - 5x

x = 4 - 5y

5y = 4 - x

y = 4/5 - x/5

inverse g(x) = (4 - x) / 5

Median

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the median to measure central tendency, rather than the mean, is better for a skewed data set.

Since a skewed data set will have either very high or low extreme data points, the mean will be less representative and accurate when measuring central tendency.

Using the median will measure this better because it is not as vulnerable as the mean when there are extreme data points.

So, the answer is the median.

The answer is median his is because the mean value is depend on the correct media

If a normally distributed population has a mean (mu) that equals 100 with a standard deviation (sigma) of 18, what will be the computed z-score with a sample mean (x-bar) of 106 from a sample size of 9?

Answers

Answer:

Z = 1

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.

Mean (mu) that equals 100 with a standard deviation (sigma) of 18

[tex]\mu = 100, \sigma = 18[/tex]

Sample of 9:

This means that [tex]n = 9, s = \frac{18}{\sqrt{9}} = 6[/tex]

What will be the computed z-score with a sample mean (x-bar) of 106?

This is Z when X = 106. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{106 - 100}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1[/tex]

So Z = 1 is the answer.

Noah is playing a game where he must spin two wheels, each with 9 equal slices. There are 3 red slices, 3 green slices, 2 blue slices and 1 yellow slice on each wheel. If Noah spins and lands on a yellow slice on both wheels he wins, but if he lands on any other color, he loses. This information was used to create the following area model.


Is this a fair game? Why or why not?

A. Yes, the game is fair because Noah has equal probabilities of winning or losing.

B. Yes, the game is fair because Noah does not have equal probabilities of winning or losing.

C. No, the game is not fair because Noah has equal probabilities of winning or losing.

D. No, the game is not fair because Noah does not have equal probabilities of winning or losing.

A shop sells a particular of video recorder. Assuming that the weekly demand for the video recorder is a Poisson variable with the mean 3, find the probability that the shop sells. . (a) At least 3 in a week. (b) At most 7 in a week. (c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.

b) 0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.

c) 0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.

Step-by-step explanation:

For questions a and b, the Poisson distribution is used, while for question c, the normal approximation 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^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of successes

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

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.

The Poisson distribution can be approximated to the normal with [tex]\mu = \lambda, \sigma = \sqrt{\lambda}[/tex], if [tex]\lambda>10[/tex].

Poisson variable with the mean 3

This means that [tex]\lambda= 3[/tex].

(a) At least 3 in a week.

This is [tex]P(X \geq 3)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X \geq 3) = 1 - P(X < 3)[/tex]

In which:

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 = 0.4232[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]

0.5768 = 57.68% probability that the shop sells at least 3 in a week.

(b) At most 7 in a week.

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\lambda}*\lambda^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0498[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.1494[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.2240[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1680[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.1008[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0504[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-3}*3^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0216[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X \leq 7) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) = 0.0498 + 0.1494 + 0.2240 + 0.2240 + 0.1680 + 0.1008 + 0.0504 + 0.0216 = 0.988[/tex]

0.988 = 98.8% probability that the shop sells at most 7 in a week.

(c) More than 20 in a month (4 weeks).

4 weeks, so:

[tex]\mu = \lambda = 4(3) = 12[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\lambda} = \sqrt{12}[/tex]

The probability, using continuity correction, is P(X > 20 + 0.5) = P(X > 20.5), which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 20.5.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{20 - 12}{\sqrt{12}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.31[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9896.

1 - 0.9896 = 0.0104

0.0104 = 1.04% probability that the shop sells more than 20 in a month.

The probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:

P(At least 3 in a week) = 0.5768 approximately.P(At most 7 in a week) = 0.9881 approximately.P( more than 20 in a month) = 0.0839 approximately.

What are some of the properties of Poisson distribution?

Let X ~ Pois(λ)

Then we have:

E(X) = λ = Var(X)

Since standard deviation is square root (positive) of variance,

Thus,

Standard deviation of X = [tex]\sqrt{\lambda}[/tex]

Its probability function is given by

f(k; λ) = Pr(X = k) = [tex]\dfrac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}[/tex]

For this case, let we have:

X = the number of weekly demand of video recorder for the considered shop.

Then, by the given data, we have:

X ~ Pois(λ=3)


Evaluating each event's probability:

Case 1: At least 3 in a week.

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1- P(X \leq 2) = \sum_{i=0}^{2}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{2} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 3) = 1 - e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2\right) \approx 1 - 0.4232 = 0.5768[/tex]

Case 2: At most 7 in a week.

[tex]P(X \leq 7) = \sum_{i=0}^{7}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{7} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X \leq 7) = e^{-3} \times \left( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120 + 729/720 + 2187/5040\right)\\\\P(X \leq 7) \approx 0.9881[/tex]

Case 3: More than 20 in a month(4 weeks)

That means more than 5 in a week on average.

[tex]P(X > 5) = 1- P(X \leq 5) =\sum_{i=0}^{5}P(X=i) = \sum_{i=0}^{5} \dfrac{3^ie^{-3}}{i!}\\\\P(X > 5) = 1- e^{-3}( 1 + 3 + 9/2 + 27/6 + 81/24 + 243/120)\\\\P(X > 5) \approx 1 - 0.9161 \\ P(X > 5) \approx 0.0839[/tex]


Thus, the probability of the selling the video recorders for considered cases are:

P(At least 3 in a week) = 0.5768 approximately.P(At most 7 in a week) = 0.9881 approximately.P( more than 20 in a month) = 0.0839 approximately.

The fields of antebellum (pre-Civil War) political history and womens history use separate sources and focus on separate issues. Political historians, examining sources such as voting records, newspapers, and politicians writings, focus on the emergence in the 1840s of a new "American political nation," and since women were neither voters nor politicians, they receive little discussion. Womens historians, meanwhile, have shown little interest in the subject of party politics, instead drawing on personal papers, legal records such as wills, and records of female associations to illuminate womens domestic lives, their moral reform activities, and the emergence of the womans rights movement.However, most historians have underestimated the extent and significance of womens political allegiance in the antebellum period. For example, in the presidential election campaigns of the 1840s, the Virginia Whig party strove to win the allegiance of Virginias women by inviting them to rallies and speeches. According to Whig propaganda, women who turned out at the partys rallies gathered information that enabled them to mold party-loyal families, reminded men of moral values that transcended party loyalty, and conferred moral standing on the party. Virginia Democrats, in response, began to make similar appeals to women as well. By the mid-1850s the inclusion of women in the rituals of party politics had become commonplace and the ideology that justified such inclusion had been assimilated by the Democrats.The primary purpose of the passage as a whole is toA. examine the tactics of antebellum political parties with regard to womenB. trace the effect of politics on the emergence of the womans rights movementC. point out a deficiency in the study of a particular historical periodD. discuss the ideologies of opposing antebellum political partiesE. contrast the methodologies in two differing fields of historical inquiry 15.
