The mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger is 5.83

<h3>What is the mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Children

Mean = 5.6 cm

Frequency = 5

Adult

Mean = 6.2 cm

Frequency = 3

The mean length of these 8 people's index finger is calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

So, we have

Mean = (5.6 * 5 + 6.2 * 3)/(5 + 3)

Evaluate

Mean = 5.83

Hence, the mean length (rounded to 2 DP) of these 8 people's index finger is 5.83

n 1 2 3 4 5 6

f(n) 1033 932 831 730 629 528

First term (a₁): 1033 Common difference (d): -101

Explicit rule: $a_{n} = 1134 - 101n$ Recursive rule: $a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 101$

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

$a_{n} = 1033 - 101(n - 1)$

$a_{n} = 1033 - 101n + 101$

$a_{n} = 1134 - 101n$

Explicit rule: $a_{n} = -49 + 10n$ Recursive rule: $a_{n} = a_{n-1} + 10$

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

$a_{n} = -39 + 10(n - 1)$

$a_{n} = -39 + 10n - 10$

$a_{n} = -49 + 10n$

Explicit rule: $a_{n} = 5 - 1.25n$ Recursive rule: $a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 1.25$

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

$a_{n} = 3.75 - 1.25(n - 1)$

$a_{n} = 3.75 - 1.25n + 1.25$

$a_{n} = 5 - 1.25n$

In a random sample of 500 handwritten zip code digits, 464 were read correctly by an optical character recognition (OCR) system

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

z= 2.38

P = 0.008656

Step-by-step explanation:

Here n= 500 and p~= 464/500= 0.928 and q`= 1- 0.928 = 0.072

We formulate our null and alternate hypothesis as

H0 = 0.9 ; H0 > 0.9

The degree of confidence = 90%

z₀.₀₅ = 1.645 for α= 0.05

We use the test statistic

z= x- np/√npq

z= 466-500 *0.9/ √500 * 0.9(1-0.9)

z= 466- 450/ √45

z= 16/6.7082

z= 2.38

As the calculated value of z= 2.38 is greater than α =1.645 so we reject H0.

If H0 is true the P value is calculated as

P = 1- Ф( 2.38)

P = 1-0.991344=0.008656
