A wall is in the shape of a trapezium. The first level of the wall is made up of 50 bricks where as the top level has 14 bricks.

If the levels differ from each other by 4 bricks, determine the number of;
(i)levels of the bricks.
(ii)bricks used to make the wall.​

Answer:

i). 10 levels of the bricks

ii). 320 bricks

Step-by-step explanation:

First level contains number of bricks = 50

Second level will contain = 50 - 4 = 46 bricks

Similarly, 3rd level will contain number of bricks = 46 - 4 = 42

Therefore, sequence formed for the number of bricks in each level of the wall will be,

50, 46, 42........14

This sequence is an arithmetic sequence having,

First term 'a' = 50

Common difference 'd' = 46 - 50 = (-4)

Last term of the sequence T_{n}= 14

i). Expression representing last term will be,

  T_{n}=a+(n-1)d

  Here T_{n} = nth term

  a = first term

  n = number of term (Number of level of the wall)

  d = common difference

  By substituting these values in the formula,

  14 = 50 + (n - 1)(-4)

  14 - 50 = (-4)(n - 1)

  -36 = -4(n - 1)

  9 = (n - 1)  

  n = 9 + 1

  n = 10

ii). Number of bricks used in the wall = Sum of the sequence

   Expression for the sum of an arithmetic sequence is,

   S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

   S_n=\frac{10}{2}[2\times 50+(10-1)(-4)]

        = 5(100 - 36)

        = 320 bricks

According to data released by FiveThirty Eight (data drawn on Monday, August 17th, 2020), Donald Trump wins an Electoral College
sineoko [7]

Answer:

a) P = 0.274925

b) required confidence interval = (0.2705589, 0.2793344)

c) FALSE

d) FALSE

e) TRUE

f) There is still probability that he would win. And it would be highly unusual if he wins assuming that the true population proportion is 0.274925.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

PROBABILITY

since total number of simulations is 40,000 and and number of times Donald Trump wins an Electoral College majority in the 2020 US Presidential Election is  10,997

so the required Probability will be 10,997 divided by 40,000

P = 10997 / 40000 = 0.274925

b)

To get 95% confidence interval for the parameter in question a

(using R)

>prop.test(10997,40000)

OUTPUT

1 - Sample proportion test with continuity correction

data: 10997 out of 40000, null probability 0.5

x-squared = 8104.5, df = 1, p-value < 2.23-16

alternative hypothesis : true p ≠ 0.5

0.2705589  0.2793344

sample estimate

p

0.274925

∴ required confidence interval = (0.2705589, 0.2793344)

c)

FALSE

This is a wrong interpretation of a confidence interval. It indicates that there is 95% chance that the confidence interval you calculated contains the true proportion. This is because when you perform several times, 95% of those intervals would contain the true proportion but as the confidence intervals will vary so you can't say that the true proportion is in any interval with 95% probability.

d)

FALSE

Once again, this is a wrong interpretation of a confidence interval. The confidence interval tells us about the population parameter and not the sample statistic.

e)

TRUE

This is a correct interpretation of a confidence interval. It indicates that if we perform sampling with same sample size (40000) several times and calculate the 95% confidence interval of population proportion for each of them, then 95% of these confidence interval should contain the population parameter.

f)

The simulation results obtained doesn't always comply with the true population. Also, result of one simulation can't be taken for granted. We need several simulations to come to a conclusion. So, we can never ever guarantee based on a simulation result to say that Donald Trump 'Won't' or 'Shouldn't' win.

There is still probability that he would win. And it would be highly unusual if he wins assuming that the true population proportion is 0.274925.

The future value of a certain money market account with a fixed interest rate of
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

D = $8637.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate = 3.65% = 0.0365

Principal = 5000

Time (t) = 15 years

N = 12 (since its compounded monthly)

Compound interest (A) = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = 5000(1 + 0.0365 / 12)^15*12

A = 5000(1 + 0.00304)¹⁸⁰

A = 5000(1.00304)¹⁸⁰

A = 5000 * 1.7269

A = 8634.86

The investment would worth $8634.86

Note: the final answer may vary slightly from the answer in the options due to ± from approximation
