The sequence is defined as

an = 3an - 1 + 7

This means that

a2 = 3(a(2 - 1) + 7

a2 = 3a1 + 7

From the information given ,

a1 = - 4

Thus,

a2 = 3 * - 4 + 7 = - 12 + 7

a2 = - 5

a3 = 3(a(3 - 1) + 7

a3 = 3a2 + 7

a3 = 3 * - 5 + 7 = - 15 + 7

a3 = - 8

a4 = 3(a(4 - 1) + 7

a4 = 3a3 + 7

a4 = 3 * - 8 + 7 = - 24 + 7

a4 = - 17

Thus, the first four terms of the sequence are

- 4, - 5, -

The answer is 6 1/4, because if you making 1/2 = 2/4, 2 + 3 = 5, the 4 stays the same, so its 5 5/4, and to make it proper, you make it 6 1/4

The weight of football players is normally distributed with a mean of 200 pounds and a standard deviation of 25 pounds,What perc
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

57.62% of players weigh between 180 and 220 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 200, \sigma = 25

What percent of players weigh between 180 and 220 pounds

We have to find the pvalue of Z when X = 220 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 180.

X = 220

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{220 - 200}{25}

Z = 0.8

Z = 0.8 has a pvalue of 0.7881

X = 180

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{180 - 200}{25}

Z = -0.8

Z = -0.8 has a pvalue of 0.2119

0.7881 - 0.2119 = 0.5762

57.62% of players weigh between 180 and 220 pounds

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

341.25in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Width=x

Length=x+2

X+x+x+2+x+2=74

4x+4=74

4x=70

x=17.5

width=x=17.5

length=x+2=19.5

A=LW

A=17.5*19.5

A=341.25in²
