I think you mean a_n= \frac{a_{n-1}}{a_{n-2}}
basically that measn yo divide that term by the previous term
ok

a3=a1/a2=1/2
a4=a3/a2=(1/2)/2=1/4
a5=a4/a3=(1/4)/(1/2)=1/2
a6=a5/a4=(1/2)/(1/4)=2
a7=a6/a5=2/(1/2)=4
a8=a7/a6=4/2=2
a9=a8/a7=2/4=1/2
a10=a9/a8=(1/2)/2=1/4
ok, so notice a pattern
a3=a9
a4=a10
I therefor conclude that a_n=a_{n+6w} where w is a whole number
and n>2ok, so
241=6*39+7
so therefor
a_{241}=a_{7+6(39)}
therefor the 241th term is same as a7 or 4

I say a241 is 4

Answer:

a_{241} = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{1}=1\\a_{2}=2\\\\a_{n}=\frac{a_{n-1}}{a_{n-2}}\\\\a_{3}=\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\a_{4}=\frac{a_3}{a_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\\a_{5}=\frac{a_4}{a_3}=\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\a_{6}=\frac{a_5}{a_4}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{4}}=2}\\\\a_{7}=\frac{a_6}{a_5}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2}=4\\\\a_{8}=\frac{a_7}{a_6}=\frac{4}{2}=2\\\\a_{9}=\frac{a_8}{a_7}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\\\\a_{10}=\frac{a_9}{a_8}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{2}=\frac{1}{4}

Now, as observed the pattern is getting repeated

a_3 = a_9\\a_4=a_{10}\\\therefore a_n=a_{n+6\cdot w}\thinspace ;\text{w is a whole number}\\\implies a_{241}=a_{1+6\cdot 40}\\ \implies a_{241}=a_1=1

So,a_{241}=1

Four different statistics have been proposed as estimators of a population parameter. To investigate The behavior of these estim
GREYUIT [131]

Based on the information given, the statistics that appear to be unbiased estimators of the population parameter is statistics A.

<h3>Solving the statistics.</h3>

It should be noted that statistic A is the unbiased estimator of the population parameter. This is because it's centered around the population parameter which is 75.

The statistic that would be a better estimate of the population parameter is statistic A. This is because the sample mean is equal to the population mean which is 75.

The statistic that would be a better estimator of the population parameter is statistic D since it's equal to the population means.

Lastly, it should be noted that statistic C has no distribution shape.

Simplify. (-5.12) - (-4.7) (7.021)
aksik [14]
First, you should do the product first:
(-4.7)* (7.021)= -32.9987

Then, let's do the subtraction:
(-5.12)- (-32.9987)
= (-5.12)+ 32.9987
= 27.8787

Final answer: 27.8787

Hope this would help~
