S_{30} = 1455

generate a few terms of the sequence using a_{n} = 3n + 2

a_{1} = ( 3 × 1) + 2 = 5

a_{2} = (3 × 2) + 2 = 8

a_{3} = (3 × 3 ) + 2 = 11

a_{4} = (3 × 4 ) + 2 = 14

a_{5} = ( 3 × 5 ) + 2 = 17

the terms are 5, 8, 11, 14, 17

these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence

sum to n terms is calculated using S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a + (n-1)d]

where a is the first term and d the common difference

d = 8 - 5 = 11 - 8 = 14 - 11 = 3 and a_{1} = 5

S_{30} = \frac{30}{2} [( 2 × 5) + (29 × 3) ]

= 15( 10 + 87) = 15 × 97 = 1455

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Between 21 years and 75 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a real estate company is interested in the ages of home buyers. They examined the ages of thousands of home buyers and found that the mean age was 48 years old, with a standard deviation of 9 years.

X the ages of home buyers is N(48, 9)

a) 30\leq x\leq 66\\|x-48|\leq 18\\|x-48|\leq 2\sigma

Hence using Cheby chev inequality

P(|x-48|\leq 2\sigma)\geq 1-\frac{1}{2^2} \\=0.75

b) 25.5\leq x\leq 70.5\\|x-48|\leq 22.5\\|x-48|\leq 1.5\sigma

P(|x-48|\leq 1.5\sigma)\geq 1-\frac{1}{1.5^2} \\=0.556

c) Using normal distribution we have

P(|x-48|\leq 2\sigma)=0.95

d) z value is 2.97

Hence x lies between

(48-9*2.97, 49+9*2.97)\\=(21.27,74.73)

Between 21 years and 75 years

Ok so u have to multiply for this one

Work *Jake*:

So he spends 2 hours on each assignment. He has 3 assignments so u have to do :
2*3=6
 
He spend 6 hours a day doing home work so now u have to multiply that by 30:
6*30=180

Work *Orlando*:

So he spends 2 hours on each homework. He has 2 sheets each do so u have to multiply 2 and 2: 
2*2=4

He spends 4 hours a day doing homwork so u  have to multiply it by 30: 
4*30=120


Answer:
 

So Jake spends 130 hours
Orlando spends 120 hours 

Add both together:
120+130=250

When a graphed line is vertical, it indicates that the relation is ?​
GuDViN [60]

Answer:When a vertical line is placed across the plot of this relation, it intersects the graph more than once for some values of x. If a graph shows two or more intersections with a vertical line, then an input (x-coordinate) can have more than one output (y-coordinate), and y is not a function of x.
