Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First three terms of an AP are 3k-1, 4k+1, 6k-2.

First term is 3k-1

For an AP,

a₂-a₁=a₃-a₂

4k+1-(3k-1)=6k-2-(4k+1)

4k+1-3k+1=6k-2-4k-1

k+2=2k-3

Separating like terms,

k-2k=-3-2

-k=-5

k = 5

So, the value of k is 5.

The standard deviation for actuary salaries has a standard deviation of $36,730 . You collect a simple random sample of n=36 sal
Yanka [14]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is of $99,002.

<h3>What is a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • z is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • \sigma is the standard deviation for the population.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.95, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975, so the critical value is z = 1.96.

The other parameters are given as follows:

\overline{x} = 111000, \sigma = 36730, n = 36

Hence, the lower bound of the interval is:

\overline{x} - z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 111000 - 1.96\frac{36730}{\sqrt{36}} = 99002

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is of $99,002.
