Answer:

d = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference d of an arithmetic sequence is

d = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ = $a_{n}$ - $a_{n-1}$

Given

$a_{n}$ = 5n - 3

Generate the first 2 terms of the sequence by substituting n = 1, n = 2

a₁ = 5(1) - 3 = 5 - 3 = 2

a₂ = 5(2) - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7

d = 7 - 2 = 5

Answer:

n=601

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula used:

$n=z(\frac{\alpha }{2})^2\frac{p(1-p) }{E^2}$

Solution:

$n=z(\frac{\alpha }{2})^2\frac{p(1-p) }{E^2}$

Where,

$\frac{\alpha }{2}=0.025$

As there is no previous estimate for p

Then, p=0.5

Here on using the table

$z(\frac{\alpha }{2}) =1.959963985$

Also,

E=0.04

p=0.5

Thus,

n=600.2279407

On approximating the value,

n=601
