The first term of a sequence is 13

Mathematics
1 answer:
MrRa [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

- 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the term- to - term rule of subtract 5

This means to find a term in the sequence, subtract 5 from the previous term.

Given a(1) = 13, then

a(2) = a(1) - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8

a(3) = a(2) - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3

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

The fourth term is - 2

Markers are sold in boxes, packs, or as single markets. Each box has 10 packs. Each pack has 10 markers. Draw a picture to show
Lapatulllka [165]
You could buy 276 single markers, you can buy 28 packs of markers, or 3 boxes of marker because 1pack = 10 markers, 10 markers multiplied by 10 packs equals 100. So 1 box would have 100 markers in it and if you took 2 boxes you would be missing 76 markers, so you're better off getting 3 boxes and having 300 markers than being less by 76.

Brainiest?!?! Please help me I'm running out of time??​
love history [14]
Because if x is greater than y, then x-y wouldn’t be below 0 like it’s shown, so x must be less than y.

And if x is less than y, any negative y would mean x is negative as well since it’s always less than y. And as shown, x+y is positive so it’s impossible for y to be negative.

A random sample of 400 Michigan State University (MSU) students were surveyed recently to determine an estimate for the proporti
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

a. .92

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error of the interval is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The lower bound is the point estimate \pi subtracted by the margin of error.

The upper bound is the point estimate \pi added to the margin of error.

Point estimate:

The confidence interval is symmetric, so it is the mean between the two bounds.

In this problem:

\pi = \frac{0.372 + 0.458}{2} = 0.415

Sample of 400, which means that n = 400

Margin of error is the estimate subtracted by the lower bound. So M = 0.415 - 0.372 = 0.043

We have to find z.

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.043 = z\sqrt{\frac{0.415*0.585}{400}}

z = \frac{0.043\sqrt{400}}{\sqrt{0.415*0.585}}

z = 1.745

z = 1.745 has a pvalue of 0.96.

This means that:

1 - \frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.96

\frac{\alpha}{2} = 1 - 0.96

\frac{\alpha}{2} = 0.04

\alpha = 0.08

Confidence level:

1 - \alpha = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

So the correct answer is:

a. .92
