Answer:

an = 3*(2)^(n-1)  ... Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The two parameters of a geometric sequence are given:-

                                a1 = 3 , r = 2

Find:-

Which formula can be used to find the nth term in a geometric sequence

Solution:-

- A sequence can be expressed in a general form as:

                              a1 , a2 , a3 , a4 , .... an

- For a sequence to be classified as geometric we need two parameters that are first term and common ratio:

                              First term = a1

                              Common ratio = r = a2 / a1 = a3 / a2 = a4/a3 ... = an / an-1

- The given two parameters are:

                               a1 = 3 , r = 2

- The general term in a geometric sequence can be determined from the following formula:

                              an = a1*(r)^( n - 1 )

Where, n = 1 ,2 , 3 , 4 , ... Last term number.

                              an = 3*(2)^(n-1)

Hello : 
<span>the nth term in a geometric sequence where is ; 
an = a1 ×qn     .... q : common ratio       a1 the first term
exempl : 
C) an  =  2×3^n-1
an =2×3^n ×3^-1
an =(2/3)×3^n
a1 = 2/3  and q= 3
same method for : D

A statistician selected a random sample of 125 observations from a population with a known standard deviation equal to 16 and co
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a statistician selected a random sample of 125 observations from a population with a known standard deviation equal to 16 and computed a sample mean equal to 77

We can use Z critical values since population std deviation is known. Also sample size >30

We find std error of mean = \frac{16}{\sqrt{125} } \\=1.4311

Margin of error = Z critical value * 1.4311

Z critical values for 93% = 1.81

for 89% = 1.60

n Std error Z critical  Conf interval  

            89%    

     

125 1.4311     1.6  (74.71024 79.28976 )

     

     

          93%    

            1.81  (74.409709 79.590291 )

We find that when confidence level increases interval width increses.

c) When sigma changes to 441, std error changes to \frac{16}{\sqrt{441} } \\=0.7619

So we get

n Std error Z critical  Conf interval  

           89%    

     

441  0.7619     1.6  (75.781 78.219 )

     

     

         93%    

           1.81  (75.621 78.37904)

d) When n = 625, std error changes to 16/25 = 0.64

n Std error Z critical  Conf interval  

        89%    

     

441 0.64 1.6        (75.976 78.024 )

     

     

       93%    

        1.81      (75.842 78.1584)

When sample size increases, confidence interval width decreases.

The expressions a(8x+7) and 4x+3.5 are equivalent. What is the value of a?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

a=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the expression a(8x+7) is equivalent to 4x+3.5

     Which means that multiplying 8x by a gives 4x and multiplying 7 by a gives 3.5

So, we can write the following to find the value of a

a(8x+7)\equiv 4x+3.5

we can write the following

8ax=4x

\implies a=\frac{4x}{8x}= \frac{1}{2}

Hence the value of a is 1/2
