You have the correct answer. It is choice B) -1/4
=======================================================
Explanation:
This is because we're adding -1/4 to each term to get the next one. In other words, we're subtracting 1/4 from each term to get the next one.
- term2 = term1+(d) = 1/2 + (-1/4) = 1/2 - 1/4 = 2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4
- term3 = term2+(d) = 1/4 + (-1/4) = 1/4 - 1/4 = 0
- term4 = term3+(d) = 0 + (-1/4) = 0 - 1/4 = -1/4
- term5 = term4+(d) = -1/4 + (-1/4) = -2/4 = -1/2
and so on.
----------
To find the common difference, all we have to do is subtract any term from its previous one.
For example:
d = (term2) - (term1)
d = (1/4) - (1/2)
d = (1/4) - (2/4)
d = (1-2)/4
d = -1/4
The order of subtraction matters, so we cannot say d = term1-term2.
Answer:
4. x= 18
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve the problem like this:
Since 3 is proportional to 6 and 9 is proportional to x, we set up a proportion.
3/9 = 6/x
We then use cross-multiplication to solve for x.
Answer: Question 1.1: It is 1.5 standard deviations away from the mean.
Our value of 26 is 6 units about the mean of 20. If each standard deviation is 4, we just divide 6 by 4. This gives us the number of standard deviations.
Question 2.2 The correct answer is -0.52
If we are 0.52 standard deviations below the mean, then our z-score is simply -0.52. The definition of a z-score is the number of standard deviations from the mean.
Answer:
The amount in the account after six years is $2,288.98
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount that will be in an account that has a principal that is compounded quarterly.
To calculate this amount, we use the formula below
A = P(1+r/n)^nt
Where P is the amount deposited which is $1,750
r is the rate which is 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045
t is the number of years which is 6 years
n is the number of times per year, the interest is compounded which is 4(quarterly means every 3 months)
we plug these values into the equation
A = 1750( 1 + 0.045/4)^(4 * 6)
A = 1750( 1 + 0.01125)^24
A = 1750( 1.01125)^24
A = 2,288.98
The amount in the account after 6 years is $2,288.98
The price was reduced by 34%, so she paid 100-34 = 66% of the original price.
16,000 x 0.66 = 10,560
She paid $10,560
