iven first term and common difference.

Ainat [17]3 years ago

Answer:

a₆ = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

The general term of an arithmetic sequence is: $ a_1, a_1 + d, a_1 + 2d, a_1 + 3d, \hdots $

where, $ a_1 $ is the first term and

$ d $ is the common difference.

The $ n^{th} $ term of the sequence is given by $ a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d $.

Therefore, $  a_6 = a_1 + (6 - 1)d  = a_1 + 5d $

$ \implies a_6 = 14 + 5(8) = 14 + 40 $

∴ a₆ = 54

Wal-Mart conducted a study to check the accuracy of checkout scanners at its stores. At each of the 60 randomly selected Wal-Mar
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

a

The 95% confidence interval is

   0.7811 <  p <  0.9529

Generally the interval above can interpreted as

    There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned lie within the interval  

b

  Generally  99% is outside the interval obtained in a  above then the claim of Wal-mart is not believable  

c

 n =  125  \  stores  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n =  60  

    The number of stores that had more than 2 items price incorrectly is  k =  52  

   

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as  

             \^ p  =  \frac{ k }{ n }

=>          \^ p  =  \frac{ 52 }{ 60 }

=>          \^ p  =  0.867

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }

=>   E =  1.96  * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.867  (1- 0.867)}{60} }

=>   E =  0.0859

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      \^ p -E <  p <  \^ p +E

=>    0.867  - 0.0859  <  p <  0.867  +  0.0859

=>    0.7811 <  p <  0.9529

Generally the interval above can interpreted as

    There is 95% confidence that the true proportion of Wal-Mart stores that have more than 2 items priced inaccurately per 100 items scanned lie within the interval  

Considering question b

Generally  99% is outside the interval obtained in a  above then the claim of Wal-mart is not believable  

   

Considering question c

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  E = 0.05

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )

=> n=  [\frac{1.645 }}{0.05} ]^2 * 0.867  (1 - 0.867 )

=>   n =  125  \  stores
