Determine the 4th term in the geometric sequence whose first term is -2 and whose common ratio is -5

1 answer:

4 0

Again, any geometric sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=ar^(n-1), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number

We are told that a=-2 and r=-5 so:

a(4)=-2(-5)^(4-1)

a(4)=-2(-5)^3

a(4)=250

Which statements about experimental probability are true?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

the empirical probability , relative frequency ,or experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified even occurs to the total number of trials , not in a theoretical sample space but in an actual experiment.

Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were all

Fittoniya [83]

Let events
A=Nathan has allergy
~A=Nathan does not have allergy
T=Nathan tests positive
~T=Nathan does not test positive

We are given
P(A)=0.75 [ probability that Nathan is allergic ]
P(T|A)=0.98 [probability of testing positive given Nathan is allergic to Penicillin]

We want to calculate probability that Nathan is allergic AND tests positive
P(T n A)

From definition of conditional probability,
P(T|A)=P(T n A)/P(A)
substitute known values,
0.98 = P(T n A) / 0.75
solving for P(T n A)
P(T n A) = 0.75*0.98 = 0.735

telo118 [61]

Answer:

H0: µd = 0 (claim)

H1: µd ≠ 0

This is a two-tail t-test for µd

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a paired (dependent) sample test, with its hypothesis is written as :

H0: µd = 0

H1: µd ≠ 0

From the equality sign used in the hypothesis declaration, a not equal to ≠ sign in the alternative hypothesis is used for a two tailed t test

The data isn't attached, however bce the test statistic cannot be obtained. However, the test statistic formular for a paired sample is given as :

T = dbar / (Sd/√n)

dbar = mean of the difference ; Sd = standard deviation of the difference.
