Answer: we have that

[3/2,3/8,3/32,3/128,3/512]

the sum of the geometric sequence is [3/2+3/8+3/32+3/128+3/512]

=(1/512)*[256*3+64*3+16*3+4*3]

=(3/512)*[256+64+16+4]

=(3/512)*[340]

=(1020/512)

=255/128---------> 1.9922

the answer is

1.9922

another way to calculate it 

is through the following formula

∑=ao*[(1-r^n)/(1-r)]

where 

ao---------> is the first term

r----------> is the common ratio between terms

n----------> is the number of terms

ao=1.5

r=1/4-----> 0.25

n=5

so

∑=1.5*[(1-0.25^5)/(1-0.25)]-------------> 1.99

Step-by-step explanation: we have that

[3/2,3/8,3/32,3/128,3/512]

the sum of the geometric sequence is [3/2+3/8+3/32+3/128+3/512]

=(1/512)*[256*3+64*3+16*3+4*3]

=(3/512)*[256+64+16+4]

=(3/512)*[340]

=(1020/512)

=255/128---------> 1.9922

the answer is

1.9922

ao=1.5

r=1/4-----> 0.25

n=5

so

Compute the permutation. A chemist has eight test tubes to examine. In how many orders can he do this examination? 16,777,216 20
Talja [164]

Answer:

40,320

Step-by-step explanation:

He can pick any one of the eight for the first examination.

He can pick any one of the remaining 7 for the 2nd examination.

He can pick any one of the remaining 6 for the 3rd examination.

...

He can pick any one of the remaining 2 for the 7th examination.

There's one left for the 8th examination.

Thus, there are 8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1 = 8! = 40,320 different possible orders in which the tubes can be examined.

You plan to conduct a survey to find what proportion of the workforce has two or more jobs. You decide on the 95% confidence lev
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

865

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that in 95% confidence level the value of z has a value of 1.96. This can be confirmed in the attached image of the normal distribution.

Now we have the following formula:

n = [z / E] ^ 2 * (p * q)

where n is the sample size, which is what we want to calculate, "E" is the error that is 2% or 0.02. "p" is the probability they give us, 5 out of 50, is the same as 1 out of 10, that is 0.1. "q" is the complement of p, that is, 1 - 0.1 = 0.9, that is, the value of q is 0.9.

Replacing these values we are left with:

n = [1.96 / 0.02] ^ 2 * [(0.1) * (0.9)]

n = 864.36

865 by rounding to the largest number.

klemol [59]
Answer: h=10

Solving Steps:
45 = 1/2h x (4+5)
45 = 1/2h x 9
45 = 9/2h
10 = h
h = 10
