Next number in sequence 3 -6 12 4 20 ?

1 answer:

8 0

-6 - 3 = -9
12 - (-6) = 18
4 - 12 = -8
20 - 4 = 16
The first difference is -9. The third difference is -8.
Maybe the fifth difference is -7.
That makes the next term 13.

In order to determine the number of squirrels in a conservation area, a researcher catches, and marks 114 squirrels then release

vodomira [7]

Answer:

456 squirrels

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following formula:

N = M * C / R

Where "N" is the estimated population size, "M" is the number of individuals already tagged, "C" is the total number of those caught the second time regardless of whether or not they are tagged, and "R" is the total number of tagged recaptured individuals.

Now, replacing we have:

N = 114 * 96/24

N = 456

Therefore, there are approximately 456 squirrels in the conservation area.

Chocolate chip cookies have a distribution that is approximately normal with a mean of 24.2 chocolate chips per cookie and a sta

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Percentile 5

$z=-1.64$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=24.2 -1.64*2.6=19.94$

Percentile 95

$z=1.64$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=24.2 +1.64*2.6=28.46$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(24.2,2.6)$

Where $\mu=24.2$ and $\sigma=2.6$

We want to find the percentiles 5 and 95 for this case.

Percentile 5

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.95$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

We want to find a percentile with 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right it's z=-1.64. On this case P(Z<-1.64)=0.05 and P(z>-1.64)=0.05

Using this condition we got:

$P(X$
