Answer:Answer:

\sum\left {{7} \atop {1}} \right -n(3+n)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence -4,-6,-8..., in order to get sigma notation to represent the sum of the first seven terms of the sequence, we need to first calculate the sum of the first seven terms of the sequence as shown;

The sum of an arithmetic series is expressed as S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

n is the number of terms

a is the first term of the sequence

d is the common difference

Given parameters

n = 7, a = -4 and d = -6-(-4) = -8-(-6) = -2

Required

Sum of the first seven terms of the sequence

S_7 = \frac{7}{2}[2(-4)+(7-1)(-2)]\\\\S_7 =  \frac{7}{2}[-8+(6)(-2)]\\\\S_7 =  \frac{7}{2}[-8-12]\\\\\\S_7 = \frac{7}{2} * -20\\\\S_7 = -70

The sum of the nth term of the sequence will be;

S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2(-4)+(n-1)(-2)]\\\\S_n = \frac{n}{2}[-8+(-2n+2)]\\\\S_n = \frac{n}{2}[-6-2n]\\\\S_n =  \frac{-6n}{2} -  \frac{2n^2}{2}\\S_n = -3n-n^2\\\\S_n = -n(3+n)

The sigma notation will be expressed as \sum\left {{7} \atop {1}} \right -n(3+n). <em>The limit ranges from 1 to 7 since we are to  find  the sum of the first seven terms of the series.</em>

Mandarinka [93]

Answer: $42.60

Step-by-step explanation:The 20% of $35.50 is $7.10. Then, you add $7.10 to $35.50, that will be $42.60.

Someone help me pls <br><br>47 as the sum of ______
Elanso [62]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (a) 6² +3² +1² +1² = 47

  (b) 5² +4² +2² +1² +1² = 47

  (c) 3³ +4² +2² = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

It can work reasonably well to start with the largest square less than the target number, repeating that approach for the remaining differences. When more squares than necessary are asked for, then the first square chosen may need to be the square of a number 1 less than the largest possible.

The approach where a cube is required can work the same way.

(a) floor(√47) = 6; floor(√(47 -6^2)) = 3; floor(√(47 -45)) = 1; floor(√(47-46)) = 1

__

(b) floor(√47 -1) = 5; floor(√(47-25)) = 4; ...

__

(c) floor(∛47) = 3; floor(√(47 -27)) = 4; floor(√(47 -43)) = 2

An average computer mouse inspector can inspect 50 mice per hour. The 48 computer mice inspectors at a particular factory can on
Ronch [10]

Answer:  C. Yes, because -2.77 falls in the critical region .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let \mu be the population mean .

As per given , we have

H_0:\mu=50\\\\ H_a: \mu

Since the alternative hypothesis is left-tailed and population standard deviation is not given , so we need to perform a left-tailed t-test.

Test statistic : t=\dfrac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

Also, it is given that ,

n= 48

\overline{x}=46

s= 10

t=\dfrac{46-50}{\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{48}}}=\dfrac{-4}{\dfrac{10}{6.93}}\\\\=\dfrac{-4}{1.443}\approx-2.77

Degree of freedom = df = n-1= 47

Using t-distribution , we have

Critical value =t_{\alpha,df}=t_{0.025,47}=2.0117

Since, the absolute t-value (|-2.77|=2.77) is greater than the critical value.

So , we reject the null hypothesis.

i.e. -2.77 falls in the critical region.

[Critical region is the region of values that associates with the rejection of the null hypothesis at a given probability level.]

Conclusion : We have sufficient evidence to support the claim that these inspectors are slower than average.

Hence, the correct answer is C. Yes, because -2.77 falls in the critical region
