Answer:r=1.104

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

First term a_1=256

a_8=512

Also a_8 can also be written in

a_8=ar^7

where r=common difference

512=256r^7

2=r^7

r=\left ( 2\right )^{\frac{1}{7}}

r=1.104

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

\bar x = 260.1615

\sigma = 70.69

The confidence interval of standard deviation is: 53.76 to 103.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n =20

See attachment for the formatted data

Solving (a): The mean

This is calculated as:

\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}

So, we have:

\bar x = \frac{242.87 +212.00 +260.93 +284.08 +194.19 +139.16 +260.76 +436.72 +355.36 +.....+250.61}{20}

\bar x = \frac{5203.23}{20}

\bar x = 260.1615

\bar x = 260.16

Solving (b): The standard deviation

This is calculated as:

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n-1}}

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{(242.87 - 260.1615)^2 +(212.00- 260.1615)^2+(260.93- 260.1615)^2+(284.08- 260.1615)^2+.....+(250.61- 260.1615)^2}{20 - 1}}\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{94938.80}{19}}

\sigma = \sqrt{4996.78}

\sigma = 70.69 --- approximated

Solving (c): 95% confidence interval of standard deviation

We have:

c =0.95

So:

\alpha = 1 -c

\alpha = 1 -0.95

\alpha = 0.05

Calculate the degree of freedom (df)

df = n -1

df = 20 -1

df = 19

Determine the critical value at row df = 19 and columns \frac{\alpha}{2} and 1 -\frac{\alpha}{2}

So, we have:

X^2_{0.025} = 32.852 ---- at \frac{\alpha}{2}

X^2_{0.975} = 8.907 --- at 1 -\frac{\alpha}{2}

So, the confidence interval of the standard deviation is:

\sigma * \sqrt{\frac{n - 1}{X^2_{\alpha/2} } to \sigma * \sqrt{\frac{n - 1}{X^2_{1 -\alpha/2} }

70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{20 - 1}{32.852} to 70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{20 - 1}{8.907}

70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{19}{32.852} to 70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{19}{8.907}

53.76 to 103.25

7 2,451 people came to watch the Easter parade. 745 of those people were adults. How many children came to the parade?​
lukranit [14]
Take to total number of people attending and subtract the number of adults. The remainder are the children

Joseph and Wendy were catching tadpoles. At first Wendy caught nine times three more than Joseph caught. Joseph was upset and re
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Joseph caught 7 tadpoles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x

The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;

9(x + 3)

After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;

Hence, mathematically;

9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3

Multiply through be 2

9(x + 3) - 12x = 6

9x + 27 -12x = 6

9x -12x = 6-27

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

The enrollment for a new program is 1,500 students. the program is expected to grow at a rate of 0.03. what is the expected enro
Hatshy [7]

The expected enrolment in 7 years is  1845.

<h3>What is the expected enrolment?
</h3>

The formula for calculating future value of the number of students is an exponential equation with this form:

FV = P (1 + r) ^n

  • FV = Future population
  • P = Present population
  • R = rate of growth of the population
  • N = number of years

1500 x (1.03)^7 = 1845
