Answer:
Common ratio: -3
Geometric sequence: an=5(-3)^n-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Each number multiplied by -3 gets the product of the next number. (5*-3= -15)
1/3 + 3/7
save + fun + extra
(7/21 + 9/21) = 16/21 on save and fun
Answer:
<em>See below</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
In this example we are to consider the equation 2x - 5 = 4x + 12, and are asked to solve for x. Well let us take the first approach, a mathematical one;

Now consider the explanation, " talking over a phone to a friend. "
First you would subtract 2x on either side of the equation, canceling the 2x on one side, and subtracting 2x from 4x on the other, resulting in the simplified equation - 5 = 2x + 12. Subtracting 12 from either side we cancel the 12 on one side, and subtract - 12 and - 5 on the other. We now get - 17 = 2x. Dividing 2 on either side, x = - 8.5!
Using the normal distribution, there is a 0.2076 = 20.76% probability that the proportion of persons with a college degree will differ from the population proportion by greater than 3%.
<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>
The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean
and standard deviation
is given by:

- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
- By the Central Limit Theorem, for a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of sample proportion is approximately normal with mean
and standard deviation
, as long as
and
.
The proportion estimate and the sample size are given as follows:
p = 0.45, n = 437.
Hence the mean and the standard error are:
The probability that the proportion of persons with a college degree will differ from the population proportion by greater than 3% is <u>2 multiplied by the p-value of Z when X = 0.45 - 0.03 = 0.42</u>.
Hence:

By the Central Limit Theorem:

Z = (0.42 - 0.45)/0.0238
Z = -1.26
Z = -1.26 has a p-value of 0.1038.
2 x 0.1038 = 0.2076.
0.2076 = 20.76% probability that the proportion of persons with a college degree will differ from the population proportion by greater than 3%.
