Hmm

each term is multiplied by a constant
1/2 times what=-1/4? that is -1/2
-1/4 times what=1/8? that is -1/2

so r=-1/2

does it converge or diverge?
if it converges, it has an infinite sum
if it diverges, it does not

if |r|<1 then it converges
|-1/2|<1?
1/2<1?
true
it converges and has a sum

the sum of an infinite geometric series is
S_n=\frac{a_1}{1-r} where a1 is the first term and r=common ratio

a1=1/2
r=-1/2

S_{\infty}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1-(\frac{-1}{2})}
S_{\infty}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1+\frac{1}{2}}
S_{\infty}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}
S_{\infty}=(\frac{1}{2})(\frac{2}{3})
S_{\infty}=\frac{2}{6}
S_{\infty}=\frac{1}{3}



the sum is \frac{1}{3}

En un estudio estadistico se van a usar unicamente variables cuantitativas discretas para ingresarlas a un programa de analisis
notka56 [123]

Answer:

la variable que se debe ingresar en el programa corresponde a: c. edad

Step-by-step explanation:

Las variables cuantitativas son aquellas que toman valores numéricos y se clasifican en variables cuantitativas discretas que son las que sólo pueden asumir un número limitado de valores en un determinado rango, como por ejemplo, el número de carros que posee una persona y variables cuantitativas continuas que pueden tomar cualquier valor en un rango específico, como por ejemplo, el peso de un objeto. De acuerdo a estas definiciones, la respuesta es que la variable que se debe ingresar en el programa corresponde a: edad porque es una variable discreta dado que se registra en números enteros y no acepta cualquier valor en un intervalo específico.

Las otras opciones no son correctas porque la nacionalidad y el nivel de escolaridad no son variables cuantitativas y la altura es una variable cuantitativa continua.
