Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ratio of a geometric sequence is the number that each term of the sequence is multiplied by. This means that the the previous term is multiplied by the common ratio to get the current term. The common ratio can also be used to create a function that can predict future terms.
To find the common ratio of this sequence, divide a term by the previous term. For example, -15/5. This gives the answer, -3. Dividing the terms allows us to figure out what factor is being multiplied by in the sequence.
First, find a common denominator (the bottom number) Then add the tops as usual. Four and five have a common denominator of 20 so: 8/20+5/20=13/20
Answer:
the answer is D

Answer:
a: 0.8884
b: 0.9934
Step-by-step explanation:
We have µ = 300 and σ = 70. The sample size, n = 125.
For the sample to be within 8 units of the population mean, we would have sample values of 292 and 308, so we want to find:
P(292 < x < 308).
We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values using the given data. See attached photo 1 for the calculation of these scores.
We have P(292 < x < 308) = 0.8884
Next we want the probability of the sample mean to be within 17 units of the population mean, so we want the values from 283 to 317. We want to find
P(283 < x < 317)
We need to find the z-scores that correspond to these values. See photo 2 for the calculation of these scores.
We have P(283 < x < 317) = 0.9934
So if the bag contains half as many red marbles as blue ones, and there are 8 reds then there are 16 blues. 16 + 8= 24 if you want there to be 1/4 white marbles add 6. 6/30 is 1/4.
So the answer comes out to be 30 marbles in the bag
