A video game company surveys a random sample of 225 of its best customer and finds that the average gamer spends $606 a year on

games, with a standard deviation of $62. Another company is also interested in the amount game consumers spend, and surveys a random sample of 250 gamers, over all interest levels, and finds that the average gamer spends $250 a year on games, with a standard deviation of $15. Why is the second survey more believable than the first?

Answer:

Multi facets

Step-by-step explanation:

First company surveys best customers so they are highest spending

First company standard deviation is high @ $62 so their spends are $606 a year plus or minus $180 (rounded up)

Second company has a Random sample so includes all customers

Second company has larger number of responses

Second company has a range of plus or minus $40

point a has the coordinates(2,5) point B has the coordinates (6,17) how long is segment ab in simplified radical form

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

$4\sqrt{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that point A has the coordinates(2,5) point B has the coordinates (6,17).

To find the length of segment AB we will use distance formula.

$\text{Distance}=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Upon substituting coordinates of point A and point B in distance formula we will get,

$\text{Distance between point A and point B}=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(17-5)^2}$

$\text{Distance between point A and point B}=\sqrt{(4)^2+(12)^2}$

$\text{Distance between point A and point B}=\sqrt{16+144}$

$\text{Distance between point A and point B}=\sqrt{160}$

$\text{Distance between point A and point B}=4\sqrt{10}$

Therefore, the length of segment AB is $4\sqrt{10}$ .

Use the Ratio Test to determine the convergence or divergence of the series. If the Ratio Test is inconclusive, determine the co

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

<h2>A. The series CONVERGES</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If $\sum a_n$ is a series, for the series to converge/diverge according to ratio test, the following conditions must be met.

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n}| = \rho$

If $\rho$ < 1, the series converges absolutely

If $\rho > 1$ , the series diverges

If $\rho = 1$ , the test fails.

Given the series $\sum\left\ {\infty} \atop {1} \right \frac{n^2}{5^n}$

To test for convergence or divergence using ratio test, we will use the condition above.

$a_n = \frac{n^2}{5^n} \\a_n_+_1 = \frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}$

$\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = \frac{{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}}}}{\frac{n^2}{5^n} }\\\\ \frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n+1)^2}{5^{n+1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\$

$\frac{a_n_+_1}{a_n} = {{\frac{(n^2+2n+1)}{5^n*5^1}} * \frac{5^n}{n^2}\\$

aₙ₊₁/aₙ =

$\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2+2n+1}{5n^2}| \\\\Dividing\ through\ by \ n^2\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{ n^2/n^2+2n/n^2+1/n^2}{5n^2/n^2}|\\\\\lim_{n \to \infty} |\frac{1+2/n+1/n^2}{5}|\\\\$

note that any constant dividing infinity is equal to zero

$|\frac{1+2/\infty+1/\infty^2}{5}|\\\\$

$\frac{1+0+0}{5}\\ = 1/5$

$\rho = 1/5$

Since The limit of the sequence given is less than 1, hence the series converges.
