Let the five terms be: a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, then
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d + a + 4d = 5a + 15d = 40
i.e. a + 3d = 8
Also, (a + 2d)(a + 3d)(a + 4d) = 224
(a + 3d - d)(a + 3d)(a + 3d + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8)(8 + d) = 224
(8 - d)(8 + d) = 224/8 = 28
64 - d^2 = 28
d^2 = 64 - 28 = 36
d = sqrt(36) = 6
But a + 3d = 8
a + 3(6) = 8
a = 8 - 18 = -10

Therefore, the term of the sequence is: -10, -10 + 6, -10 + 2(6), -10 + 3(6), -10 + 4(6)
= -10, -4, -10 + 12, -10 + 18, -10 + 24
= -10, -4, 2, 8, 14

\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto m=8+n

  • Take n to left

\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto m-n=8

  • Hence

if m=1

\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto n=m-8=1-8=-7

if n=1

\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto m=8+1

\\ \qquad\quad\sf\longmapsto m=9

A manufacturer produces piston rings for an automobile engine. It is known that ring diameter is normally distributed with σ=0.0
oksian1 [2.3K]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z^* SE                   (1)

, where \overline{x} = sample mean

z* = critical value.

SE = standard error

and SE=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} , \sigma = population standard deviation.

n= sample size.

As per given , we have

\overline{x}=74.021

\sigma=0.001

n= 15

It is known that ring diameter is normally distributed.

SE=\dfrac{0.001}{\sqrt{15}}=0.000258198889747\approx0.000258199

By z-table ,

The critical value for 95% confidence  = z*= 1.96

A 99% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean piston diameter :

74.021\pm (2.576) (0.000258199)     (using (1))

74.021\pm 0.000665120624

74.021\pm 0.000665120624\\\\=(74.021- 0.000665120624,\ 74.021+ 0.000665120624)\\\\=(74.0203348794,\ 74.0216651206)\approx(74.020,\ 74.022)  [Rounded to three decimal places]

∴  A 99% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean piston diameter  = (74.020, 74.022)

By z-table ,

The critical value for 95% confidence  = z*= 1.96

A 95% lower confidence bound on the true mean piston diameter:

74.021- (1.96) (0.000258199)    (using (1))

74.021- 0.00050607004=74.02049393\approx74.020 [Rounded to three decimal places]

∴  A 95% lower confidence bound on the true mean piston diameter= 74.020
