A1=-15
a2=a1+d→-4=-15+d→d=11
Answer:
The claim is rejected
Step-by-step explanation:
Claim: UCF is advertising their bachelor in Economics with the statistic that the starting salary of a graduate with a bachelor in economics is $ 48,500 according to Payscale (2013-13).
Null hypothesis: 
Alternate hypothesis :
n = 50
Since n is more than 30 .
So we will use Z test
x=43350
Standard deviation = 15000

Refer the z table
p value = 0.00776

p value < 
So, We are failed to accept null hypothesis
Hence The claim is rejected
Answer:
Z + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Z-(-12)
Z + 12
Double negative turns into positive
The first term, a, is 2. The common ratio, r, is 4. Thus,
a_(n+1) = 2(4)^(n).
Check: What's the first term? Let n=1. Then we get 2(4)^1, or 8. Is that correct? No.
Try this instead:
a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1). Is this correct? Seeking the first term (n=1), does this formula produce 2? 2*4^0 = 2*1 = 2. YES.
The desired explicit formula is a_(n) = a_0*4^(n-1), where n begins at 1.
