Think the 4 less than but not equal to as a equal sign
step 1. isolate the variable ( variable must stand alone)
step 2. subtract 12n -12n=0
step 3. since you subtract 12n from the left you must do the same to the right.
step 4. 13n - 12n =1n
step 5. the equation should look like this -4 less than but not equal to 1n
step 6. isolate the variable n
step 6. divide 1n/1 on the right and on the left -4/1 it equals -4
so, n is -4

Answer:

$\text{c. }f(n)=3f(n-1);f(1)=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is 2, so part of the recursive definition is ...

f(1) = 2

The common ratio is 6/2 = 3, so each term is 3 times the previous one. That part of the recursive definition is ...

f(n) = 3·f(n -1)

These two parts of the definition match choice C.

Jerry took a sample of 4 employees in his office and observed how many hours they each worked one day.

Illusion [34]

The error in Jerry's calculation is 4.84

The number of employees, N = 4

The mean is calculated as:

$\mu = \frac{10+2+4+8}{4} \\\mu = \frac{24}{4} \\\mu = 6$

The formula for the standard deviation is:

$SD =\sqrt{\frac{\sum{(x-\mu)^2}}{N} }$

This can be further calculated as:

$SD = \sqrt{\frac{(10-6)^2+(2-6)^2+(4-6)^2+(8-6)^2}{4} }\\\\SD = \sqrt{\frac{4^2+(-4)^2+(-2)^2+(2)^2}{4} } \\\\SD = \sqrt{\frac{16+16+4+4}{4} } \\\\SD = \sqrt{\frac{40}{4} } \\\\SD = \sqrt{10} \\\\SD = 3.16$
