Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule. A(n) = –3 + (n – 1)(–2.2)

1 answer:

7 0

A(n) = a1 + (n - 1) * d
A(n) = -3 + (n - 1) * -2.2
n = term to find
a1 = first term = -3
d = common difference = -2.2

we can already see that the first term is -3 <==

4th term..
A(4) = -3 + (4 - 1) * -2.2
A(4) = -3 + 3(-2.2)
A(4) = -3 - 6.6
A(4) = - 9.6 <== 4th term

10th term...
A(10) = -3 + (10 - 1) * -2.2
A(10) = -3 + 9 * - 2.2
A(10) = -3 - 19.8
A(10) = - 22.8 <===10th term

sp2606 [1]

Complete question:

He amount of time that a customer spends waiting at an airport check-in counter is a random variable with mean 8.3 minutes and standard deviation 1.4 minutes. Suppose that a random sample of n equals 47 customers is observed. Find the probability that the average time waiting in line for these customers is

a) less than 8 minutes

b) between 8 and 9 minutes

c) less than 7.5 minutes

Answer:

a) 0.0708

b) 0.9291

c) 0.0000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

n = 47

u = 8.3 mins

s.d = 1.4 mins

a) Less than 8 minutes:

$P(X$

P(X' < 8) = P(Z< - 1.47)

Using the normal distribution table:

NORMSDIST(-1.47)

= 0.0708

b) between 8 and 9 minutes:

P(8< X' <9) = $[\frac{8-8.3}{1.4/ \sqrt{47}}< \frac{X'-u}{s.d/ \sqrt{n}} < \frac{9-8.3}{1.4/ \sqrt{47}}]$

= P(-1.47 <Z< 6.366)

= P( Z< 6.366) - P(Z< -1.47)

Using normal distribution table,

$NORMSDIST(6.366)-NORMSDIST(-1.47)$

0.9999 - 0.0708

= 0.9291

c) Less than 7.5 minutes:

P(X'<7.5) = $P [Z< \frac{7.5-8.3}{1.4/ \sqrt{47}}]$

P(X' < 7.5) = P(Z< -3.92)

NORMSDIST (-3.92)

= 0.0000

The circumference of a circular garden is 131.88 feet. What is the radius of the garden?

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

21 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

C = 2πr

Filling in the given values, we have ...

131.88 ft = 2·3.14·r . . . . we can find r by dividing by its coefficient

131.88 ft/6.28 = r = 21 ft
