Answer:

$\boxed{a_{n} = 2(4n - 5)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

⇒ a = -2

⇒ d = 14 - 6 = 8

Formula for nth term :

$\boxed {a_{n} = a + (n-1)d}$

Solving :

⇒ aₙ = -2 + (n - 1)(8)

⇒ aₙ = -2 + 8n - 8

⇒ aₙ = 8n - 10

⇒ aₙ = 2(4n - 5)

Suppose that prices of recently sold homes in one neighborhood have a mean of $265,000 with a standard deviation of $9300. Using

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Range = (237100, 292900)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Chebyshevs Inequality:

$P(|X - \mu | \le k \sigma )\ge 1 -\dfrac{1}{k^2}= 0.889$

$1 -\dfrac{1}{k^2}= 0.889$

$\dfrac{1}{k^2}= 1- 0.889$

$\dfrac{1}{k^2}=0.111$

$k = \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{0.111}}$

$k \simeq 3$

Thus, 88.9% of the population is within 3 standard deviation of the mean with the Range = μ ± kσ

where;

μ = 265000

σ = 9300

Range = 265000 ± 3(9300)

Range = 265000 ± 27900

Range = (265000 - 27900, 265000 + 27900)

Range = (237100, 292900)

Kristin has 3 2/3 yards of plaid ribbon. She has 2 5/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon. Estimate how many yards of ribbon Kristin ha

AveGali [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Kristin has 3 2/3 yards of plaid ribbon. Converting 3 2/3 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 11/3 yards of plaid ribbon.

She has 2 5/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon. Converting 2 5/6 yards to improper fraction, it becomes 17/6 yards of polka - dot ribbon.

The total number of yards of ribbon that Kristin has would be

11/3 + 17/6 = (22 + 17)/6 = 39/6 yards of ribbon.

Converting to decimal, it becomes 6.5 yards of ribbon. Approximating 6.5 to the nearest yards, it becomes 7 yards. This is because the first digit after the decimal point is 5 and thus, can be rounded up
