Although the number of new wildflowers is decreasing, the total number of flowers is increasing every year (assuming flowers aren't dying or otherwise being removed). Every year, 25% of the number of new flowers from the previous year are added.
The sigma notation would be:
∑ (from n=1 to ∞) 4800 * (1/4)ⁿ , where n is the year.
Remember that this notation should give us the sum of all new flowers from year 1 to infinite, and the values of new flowers for each year should match those given in the table for years 1, 2, and 3
This means the total number of flowers equals:
Year 1: 4800 * 1/4 = 1200 ]
+
Year 2: 4800 * (1/4)² = 300
+
Year 3: 4800 * (1/4)³ = 75
+
Year 4: 4800 * (1/4)⁴ = 18.75 = ~19 (we can't have a part of a flower)
+
Year 5: 4800 * (1/4)⁵ = 4.68 = ~ 5
+
Year 6: 4800 * (1/4)⁶ = 1.17 = ~1
And so on. As you can see, it in the years that follow the number of flowers added approaches zero. Thus, we can approximate the infinite sum of new flowers using just Years 1-6:
1200 + 300 + 75 + 19 + 5 + 1 = 1,600
A rectangle or a parallelogram is a polygon with only 2 congruent sides and 2 congruent angles.
This is a geometric sequence, so use the formula for the sum of a geometric sequence:
Sum = (a(r^n - 1))/(r - 1)
where a is the first term, -5
r is the common ratio, 5
and n is the number of terms
Thus,
Sum = ((-5)(5^6 - 1))/(5-1) = -19530
The answer is -11 and -13
Answer:
P(z>1.3) = 0.9032
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Mean = 5000
Standard deviation = 1000
x = 6300
P(x>6300)=?
z-score =?
z-score = x- mean/standard deviation
z-score = 6300 - 5000/1000
z- score = 1300/1000
z-score = 1.3
So, P(x>6300) = P(z>1.3)
Looking at the z-probability distribution table and finding value:
P(z>1.3) = 0.9032
So, P(z>1.3) = 0.9032
