<span>First we calculate z using the formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ</span>

Where:

x = our variable, 10

μ = mean, 8

σ = standard dev, 2

Substituting known values:<span>
z = (10 - 8)/2
z = 2/2
z = 1

Using the tables of the normal distribution to find the p-value with z = 1

p = 0.8413

Since we want "greater than 10”, we need to subtract the probability from 1 therefore

p* = 1 - 0.8413 = <span>0.1587</span></span>

The common ratio in a geometric series is 0.5 and the first term is 256.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

504

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

common ratio (r) = 0.5

first term (a_1) is 256

Sum of first n terms in geometric series is given by the formula (r < 1):

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

Hence, sum of first 6 terms mean:

r = 0.5

a = 256

n = 6

Substituting, we get the answer to be:

S_n=\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}\\S_6=\frac{256(1-(0.5)^6)}{1-0.5}\\S_6=504

The sum of first 6 terms is 504

What is 24/42 in the simplest form?
Virty [35]
24/42= 4/7 

<span> To start divide both sides by 2  So 24/2=12 and then 42/2=21. So it would then be 12/21. Now both are divisible by 3 so you can divide each side by 3. So 12/3=4 and 21/3=7 so it would be 4/7. You can't-do anything further so that is the lowest term.</span>
