I like math because it gets me thinking a lot. math helps me in the world because we need to know how to do math in order to go shopping or we will not give the cashier the correct amount or maybe you will give them an extra amount of money because you can't do math.
Let us check series : -10 /-2 = 5 -50/-10 = 5
so it is a geometric series with a= -2 and r= 5
sum formula for n terms of geometric series = a ( r^n -1 ) /( r-1)
here we find S5 that is n= 5 = -2 ( 5^ 5 - 1) /( 5-1)
= -2 ( 3125 -1) / 4 = -1562
second series is : 1.5/1 = 1.5 2.25/1.5 = 1.5
this is also geometric series but n = 12 a= 1 and r= 1.5
we use same formula
S12 = 1 ( (1.5) ^12 -1) /( 1.5-1) =
128.74 / 0.5 = 257.49
Last is 2/1= 2 4/2 = 2 8/4 = 2 so r = 2 a = 1 and n = 12
we use same formula 1 ( 2^12 - 1) / (2-1)
= 4095
Answers : -1562 , 257.49 , 4095
Answer:
3: No
4: 25
Step-by-step explanation:
3: It won't because not everyone is the same height and there will be variation in the mean height.
4: A larger sample size will give a more accurate representation of the population, where as a sample size of 5 is much more likely to have a higher percentage of outliers, and each outlier matters much more in finding the mean. In a sample size of 25, each outlier matters much less.
