a[25]=1.7, d=0.6

In general,

a[n] = a[1] + d(n-1)

1.7 = a[25] = a[1] + 0.6(25 - 1)

a[1] = 1.7 - 0.6(24) = -12.7

a[n] = -12.7 + 0.6(n - 1)

Answer a[1]=-12.7

Filling in the boxes,

a[1]=-12.7, a[2]=-12.1, a[3]=-11.5, a[4]=-10.9, a[5]=-10.3, a[6]=-9.7

check that last one with the formula, a[6]=-12.7-.6(6-1) = -9.7, good

we're asked for a recursive formula, which is easier,

Answer: a[n] = a[n-1] + 0.6

---------------------

a[n] = a[1] + d(n-1)

a[23] = 21 = a[1] + 22d

a[43] = 61 = a[1] + 42d

Subtracting,

40 = 20d

d = 2

21 = a[1] + 22(2)

a[1] = 21 - 44 = -23

Answer: a[1] = -23, a[n] = a[n-1] + 2

Check: a[n]=-23 + 2(n-1) at n=43 gives a[43]=-23 +2(42) =61, good

Two random samples are taken, with each group asked if they support a particular candidate. A summary of the sample sizes and pr

Answer:

And we got $\alpha/2 =0.01$ so then the value for $\alpha=0.02$ and then the confidence level is given by: $Conf=1-0.02=0.98[/tex[ or 98%Step-by-step explanation:A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval". The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval. Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean". [tex]p_1$ represent the real population proportion for 1

$\hat p_1 =0.768$ represent the estimated proportion for 1

$n_1=92$ is the sample size required for 1

$p_2$ represent the real population proportion for 2

$\hat p_2 =0.646$ represent the estimated proportion for 2

$n_2=95$ is the sample size required for 2

$z$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

The confidence interval for the difference of two proportions would be given by this formula

$(\hat p_1 -\hat p_2) \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat p_2 (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}$

For this case we have the confidence interval given by: (-0.0313,0.2753). From this we can find the margin of erro on this way:

$ME= \frac{0.2753-(-0.0313)}{2}=0.1533$

And we know that the margin of erro is given by:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat p_2 (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}$

We have all the values except the value for $z_{\alpha/2}$

So we can find it like this:

$0.1533=z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{0.768(1-0.768)}{92} +\frac{0.646 (1-0.646)}{95}}$

And solving for $z_{\alpha/2}$ we got:

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.326$

And we can find the value for $\alpha/2$ with the following excel code:

"=1-NORM.DIST(2.326,0,1,TRUE)"

And we got $\alpha/2 =0.01$ so then the value for $\alpha=0.02$ and then the confidence level is given by: $Conf=1-0.02=0.98$ or 98%

Suppose you inherited a house that was purchased in 1950 for 20,000. It is now 2015 and the value of the house has increased by

sleet_krkn [62]

This deals with exponential growth.
house value = 20,000 * (1.05)^years
(where years is # of years from 1950 - so 1950 = 0, 1951 = 1, etc)
house value = 20,000 * (1.05)^65
house value = 20,000 * 23.8399005592 
house value = 476,798.01
