Answer:

Part 15) The next three terms are 5/8,3/4 and 7/8

Part 16) The 37th term is -35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In an <u>Arithmetic Sequence</u> the difference between one term and the next is a constant and this constant is called the common difference (d)

Part 15) Find the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence

\frac{1}{8},\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{8},\frac{1}{2},...

so

a1=1/8\\ a2=1/4\\ a3=3/8\\ a4=1/2\\ a2-a1=1/4-1/8=1/8\\ a3-a2=3/8-1/4=1/8\\ a4=a3=1/2-3/8=1/8

The common difference is equal to

d=1/8

<u><em>Find the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence</em></u>

<u><em>Find a5</em></u>

a5=a4+d ----->a5=1/2+1/8=5/8

<u><em>Find a6</em></u>

a6=a5+d ----->a6=5/8+1/8=3/4

<u><em>Find a7</em></u>

a7=a6+d ----->a7=3/4+1/8=7/8

therefore

The next three terms are

5/8,3/4 and 7/8

Part 16) what is the 37th term of the arithmetic sequence

4.1,3,1.9,0.8,...?

so

a1=4.1\\ a2=3\\ a3=1.9\\ a4=0.8

a2-a1=3-4.1=-1.1\\ a3-a2=1.9-3=-1.1\\ a4=a3=0.8-1.9=-1.1

The common difference is equal to

d=-1.1

We can write an Arithmetic Sequence as a rule

an=a1+d(n-1)

substitute the values

an=4.1-1.1(n-1)

For n=37

substitute

a37=4.1-1.1(37-1)

a37=4.1-1.1(36)

a37=-35.5

Suppose the time to complete a 200-meter backstroke swim for female competitive swimmers is normally distributed with a mean μ =
hammer [34]

Answer:

The swimmer must complete the 200-meter backstroke in no more than 130 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 141, \sigma = 7

Fastest 6%

At most in the 6th percentile, that is, at most a value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.07. So we have to find X when Z = -1.555.

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

-1.555 = \frac{X - 141}{7}

X - 141 = -1.555*7

X = 130

The swimmer must complete the 200-meter backstroke in no more than 130 seconds.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Complete question :

Standardized tests: In a particular year, the mean score on the ACT test was 19.3 and the standard deviation was 5.3. The mean score on the SAT mathematics test was 532 and the standard deviation was 128. The distributions of both scores were approximately bell-shaped. Round the answers to at least two decimal places. Part: 0/4 Part 1 of 4 (a) Find the z-score for an ACT score of 26. The Z-score for an ACT score of 26 is

Answer:

1.26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

For ACT:

Mean score, m = 19.3

Standard deviation, s = 5.3

Zscore for ACT score of 26;

Using the Zscore formula :

(x - mean) / standard deviation

x = 26

Zscore :

(26 - 19.3) / 5.3

= 6.7 / 5.3

= 1.2641509

= 1.26
