This is an arithmetic sequence because each term is 7 greater than the previous term, so 7 is what is called the common difference...

Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=first term, d=common difference, n=term number.

We know a=1 and d=7 so:

a(n)=1+7(n-1)

a(n)=1+7n-7

a(n)=7n-6

The above is the "rule" for the nth term.

This is an aritmetic sequence where the terms increase by 7
So the common difference d = 7 . The first term is 1

nth term = a1 + (n-1)d
= 1 + (n-1)7
= 7n - 6

Answer:

f ○ g(x) = x and g ○ f(x) = x is the correct composition

Step-by-step explanation:

INVERSE FUNCTIONS: Two functions are said to be inverse of each other if for every y = f(x), there exists a function g(x),

such that x = $f^{-1} (y)$ = g(y)

Now, here if we need to show tha two functions f(x) and g(x) are inverse functions of each other , then show that for every x:

1. f o g(x) = f(g(x))= x

2. g o f(x) = g(f(x)) = x

If any two functions satisfy these two conditions, then they are inverse of each other.

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$
