Geometric sequence

a_n=a1r^{n-1}
r=common ratio
a1=first term
n=which term

2nd term is 50
4th is 112.5

a_2=a1r^{2-1}=50
a_2=a1r^{4-1}=112.5

50=a1r^{1}
112.5=a1r^{3}

therefor
112.5/50=\frac{a1r^3}{ar^1} =r^2=2.25
r^2=2.25
sqrt both sides
r=1.5

the common ratio is 1.5

An article suggests the uniform distribution on the interval from 7.5 to 20 as a model for x = depth (in centimeters) of the bio
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) For this case we want this probability:

P(X>16)

And we can use the complement rule:

P(X>16) = 1-P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x)= \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a\leq X \leq b

And replacing we got:

P(X>16) =1- \frac{16-7.5}{20-7.5} = 1-0.68 = 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X= depth (in centimeters) of the bioturbation layer in sediment for a certain region, and we know the distribution for X, given by:

X \sim Unif (a=7.5, b=20)

Part a

For this case we can see the figure attached.

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X>16)

And we can use the complement rule:

P(X>16) = 1-P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x)= \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a\leq X \leq b

And replacing we got:

P(X>16) =1- \frac{16-7.5}{20-7.5} = 1-0.68 = 0.32

Bob wants to buy a TV that cost $500 plus 8% tax. He is getting a bonus of $45 and a birthday gift of $85 which he plans to use
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

He needs to work for 40 whole hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the amount a Tv will cost Bob in terms of the number of hours he needs to work.

Let’s look at the total cost he has to pay.

a. $500

b. 8% tax = 8/100 * 500 = $40

c. He is paying 2 bills of $35 each making a total of 2 * $35 = $70

The total amount he is to pay is thus; 500 + 40 + 70 = $610

Let’s look at his income ;

a. Bonus $45

b. Birthday gift $85

The total amount of money he has asides his salary to offset the bill is 45 + 85 = $130

The balance to pay from his salary would be $610 - $130 = $480

The number of hours he has to work since he earns $12 per hour would be 480/12 = 40 hours of work
