Answer:

$a_8=38$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Recursive sequence </u>

In a recursive sequence formula, each term $a_n$ is computed as a function of one or more previous terms. In the formula

$a_n=a_{n-1}+5$

n is the number of the term we want to calculate. If n=8, then the formula becomes

$a_8=a_{7}+5$

We can see $a_{n-1}$ is the previous term. It means we need $a_7$ to be able to compute $a_8$ . But we also need $a_6$ to compute $a_7$ and so on until some known data is reached. The question provides five terms, $a_5=23.$

$a_6=a_5+5=28$

$a_7=a_6+5=33$

$a_8=a_7+5=38$

$a_8=38$

For a medical study, a researcher wishes to select people in the middle 60% of the population based on blood pressure.

Finger [1]

Answer:

Lower limit: 113.28

Upper limit: 126.72

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:

$\mu = 120, \sigma = 8$

Middle 60%

So it goes from X when Z has a pvalue of 0.5 - 0.6/2 = 0.2 to X when Z has a pvalue of 0.5 + 0.6/2 = 0.8

Lower limit

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.20. So X when $Z = -0.84$

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

$-0.84 = \frac{X - 120}{8}$

$X - 120 = -0.84*8$

$X = 113.28$

Upper limit

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.80. So X when $Z = 0.84$

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

$0.84 = \frac{X - 120}{8}$

$X - 120 = 0.84*8$

$X = 126.72$

Point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B into the ratio 3:4. Will P be closer to A or B? Why

Pani-rosa [81]

B because the distance between p to b is 1/4 of the line and the distance between p to a is 3/4 of the line

kramer

Answer:

about 2949 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometry of the situation can be modeled by a right triangle. The height of the cliff can be taken to be the side opposite the given angle, and the distance to the coyote will be the side adjacent to the given angle. The relation between these values is the trig function ...

Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

<h3>setup</h3>

Filling in the known values, we have ...

tan(6°) = (310 ft)/(distance to coyote)

<h3>solution</h3>

Multiplying by (distance to coyote)/tan(6°) gives ...

distance to coyote = (310 ft)/tan(6°) ≈ 310/0.105104 ft

distance to coyote ≈ 2949.453 ft

The coyote is about 2949 feet from the base of the cliff.
