Given that t 8 = 60 and t 12 = 48, find the 45th term of the arithmetic sequence.

1 answer:

3 0

$t_8=60\\t_{12}=48\\t_{45}=?\\\\\t_n\ \text{It's an arithmetic sequence, therefore the difference d we can calculate:}\\\\4d=t_{12}-t_8\\\\4d=48-60\\4d=-12\ \ \ \ |:4\\d=-3\\\\t_{45}=t_{12}+33d\to t_{45}=48+33\cdot(-3)=-51$
Answer: 45th term is equal -51.

The number of square feet per house are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 137 square feet and an unkn

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X, the number of square feet per house is N(mean, 137)

Sample size = 19

Sample mean x bar =1350 sq ft

Since population std dev is given,

std error of sample = $\frac{137}{\sqrt{19} } \\=31.43$

Since sample size is small, t critical value can be used

df = 18

t value for 80% two tailed = 1.333

Margin of error = ±1.333(std error) = ± $1.333*31.43\\=41.896$

Confidence interval = sample mean ±margin of error

= $1350-41.896,1350+41.896\\=(1308.104,1391.896)$

Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Whichever applicant had grade with the highest z-score should be offered the job.

Demetria got a score of 85.1; this version has a mean of 61.1 and a standard deviation of 12.

For Demetria, we have $X = 85.1, \mu = 61.1, \sigma = 12$ . So
