Answer:
a) 9.56%
b) 0.0019
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Find the z-scores.
z = (x − μ) / σ
z₁ = (-0.0050) / 0.0030
z₁ = -1.67
z₂ = (0.0050) / 0.0030
z₂ = 1.67
Find the probability using a chart or calculator.
P(Z < -1.67 or Z > 1.67) = 2 P(Z < -1.67)
P(Z < -1.67 or Z > 1.67) = 2 (0.0478)
P(Z < -1.67 or Z > 1.67) = 0.0956
b) Use a chart or calculator to find the z-score.
P(Z < -z or Z > z) = 0.01
P(Z < -z) = 0.005
z = 2.576
Find the standard deviation.
z = (x − μ) / σ
2.576 = (0.0050) / σ
σ = 0.0019
Multiply by 2 which will get you a diameter and then multiply it by pi which is 3.14.
Answer:
c.) aₙ = 5 × 4ⁿ⁻¹
Explanation:
Geometric sequence: aₙ = a(r)ⁿ⁻¹
where 'a' resembles first term of a sequence, 'r' is the common difference.
Here sequence: 5, 20, 80, 320,...
First term (a) = 5
Common difference (d) = second term ÷ first term = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Hence putting into equation: aₙ = 5(4)ⁿ⁻¹
