What is the nth term for 7,11,15,19
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

a_{n} = 4n + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Note there is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

d = 11 - 7 = 15 - 11 = 19 - 15 = 4

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 7 and d = 4, thus

a_{n} = 7 + 4(n - 1) = 7 + 4n - 4 = 4n + 3

Dimas [21]
The value 8 is significantly different from the other four values.  Thus, the median would be the most appropr. measure of the center of this data distribution.  Rearranging the data in ascending order:

8, 29, 31, 32, 33

The median is the middle value; it is 31.

Bad gums may mean a bad heart. Researchers discovered that 81% of people who have suffered a heart attack has periodontal diseas
IgorC [24]

Answer:

0.405 or 40.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let event A=having a periodontal disease

event B=having a heart attack

we are given

P(A)=P(having a periodontal disease)=0.30

P(B)=P(having a heart attack)=0.15

P(A/B)=P(have a periodontal disease/have a heart attack)=0.81

P(B/A)=P(have a heart attack/have a periodontal disease)=?

P(A/B)=P(A∩B)/P(B)

P(A∩B)=P(B)*P(A/B)=0.15*0.81=0.1215

P(B/A)=P(A∩B)/P(A)=0.1215/0.3=0.405

There is 40.5% probability that if someone has periodontal disease will have a heart attack.
