Answer:
8th term is 179.15904
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence is geometric with a common ration = 6/5
r = 60/50 = 72/60 = 6/5
Use the formula
In your case a = 50, r = 6/5 and n = 8
Answer:
b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Subtraction of normal Variables:
When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviation of 4.2 years. Sample of 35:
This means that:
The distribution of life spans for electric ranges has a mean of 13.4 years and a standard deviation of 3.7 years. Sample of 40:
This means that:
Which of the following best describes the sampling distribution of the difference in mean life span of gas ranges and electric ranges?
Shape is approximately normal.
Mean:
Standard deviation:
So the correct answer is given by option b.
