Given parameters:

First term of the sequence = x

Second term = x + 2

Third term =  x + 4

Sum of the first three terms  = 72

Unknown:

First term of the sequence = ?

Solution:

The sum of the first three terms is unknown;

            (x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 72

Solve for x;

          x + x + 2 + x + 4  = 72

          3x + 6  = 72

            3x = 72 - 6

              3x = 66

                x = \frac{66}{3}   = 22

The first term of the sequence is 22

When a farmer harvests apples he expects 6% of the apples to be rotten how many apples would the farmer expect to be rotting whe
guapka [62]

The question is incomplete had the number of harvested apples isn't given.

Answer:

0.06n

Step-by-step explanation:

When a farmer harvests apples he expects 6% of the apples to be rotten how many apples would the farmer expect to be rotting when harvesting apples

The expected percentage of rotten apples when harvesting = 6%

The expected number of rotten apples can be obtained by taking the product of the expected percentage and the number of apples to be harvested.

Since the number of harvested apples isn't given,

Let the number of harvested apples = n

Therefore, the expected number of rotten apples will be :

6% * n

0.06n

Note : you can easily substitute the actual number of harvested apples for n in the equto get the actual answer

The mayor is interested in finding a 98% confidence interval for the mean number of pounds of trash per person per week that is
saul85 [17]

Solution :

Given :

Sample mean, $\overline X = 34.2$

Sample size, n = 129

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.2

a. Since the population standard deviation is unknown, therefore, we use the t-distribution.

b. Now for 95% confidence level,

   α = 0.05, α/2 = 0.025

  From the t tables, T.INV.2T(α, degree of freedom), we find the t value as

  t =T.INV.2T(0.05, 128) = 2.34

  Taking the positive value of t, we get  

  Confidence interval is ,

  $\overline X \pm t \times \frac{s}{\sqrt n}$

 $34.2 \pm 2.34 \times \frac{8.2}{\sqrt {129}}$

 (32.52, 35.8)

 95% confidence interval is  (32.52, 35.8)

So with $95 \%$ confidence of the population of the mean number of the pounds per person per week is between 32.52 pounds and 35.8 pounds.

c. About $95 \%$ of confidence intervals which contains the true population of mean number of the pounds of the trash that is generated per person per week and about $5 \%$ that doe not contain the true population of mean number of the pounds of trashes generated by per person per week.
