Answer:

The sum of the first five terms of the geometric sequence whose first term is 10 and common ratio is  \frac{1}{2} is 19\frac{3}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric sequence is a sequence  where each term is find  by multiplying the previous term by a constant non-zero number known as the common ratio.

Here, given a_1=10 and r=\frac{1}{2}

We have to find the sum of the first five terms of the geometric sequence whose first term is 10 and common ratio is  \frac{1}{2}.

Sum of a geometric sequence is given as :

S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}

Substitute the values,

S_n=\frac{10(1-(\frac{1}{2})^5)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}

Solving , we get

\Rightarrow S_n=\frac{10(1-(\frac{1}{2})^5)}{\frac{1}{2}}

\Rightarrow S_n=\frac{10(1-\frac{1}{32})}{\frac{1}{2}}      

\Rightarrow S_n=\frac{10(\frac{32-1}{32})}{\frac{1}{2}}    

\Rightarrow S_n=\frac{10(\frac{32-1}{32})}{\frac{1}{2}}  

\Rightarrow S_n=20(\frac{31}{32})  

\Rightarrow S_n=10(\frac{31}{16})  

\Rightarrow S_n=\frac{310}{16}=\frac{155}{8}  

\Rightarrow S_n=19\frac{3}{8}  

Thus, the sum of the first five terms of the geometric sequence whose first term is 10 and common ratio is  \frac{1}{2} is 19\frac{3}{8}

Recall the chapter example which described the fact that the mean IQ in large, diverse populations is 100 and the standard devia
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 99% confidence level for this sample is ±2.23.

None of the given figures is close to the answer:

E. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

margin of error (ME) around the mean can be calculated using the formula

ME=\frac{z*s}{\sqrt{N} } where

  • z is the corresponding statistic of the 99% confidence level (2.576)
  • s is the population IQ standard deviation (15)
  • N is the sample size (300)

Using these numbers we get:

ME=\frac{2.576*15}{\sqrt{300} }  ≈ 2.23
