The rule of a geometric sequence:

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

We have:

a_1=6;\ r=-\dfrac{1}{3}

Find a_8=?\to n=8

substitute:

a_8=6\cdot\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^{8-1}=6\cdot\left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^7=6\cdot\left(-\dfrac{1}{2187}\right)=-\dfrac{2}{729}

Solve the following function for y when x=5 round to the nearest tenth
Wittaler [7]

In the given question , we have a function given , which is

y= 13(0.5^x)

And we need to find the value of y when x=5.

So we substitute 5 for x and solve for y, that is

y=13(0.5^5) = 0.40625

And on rounding to the nearest tenths, we will get

y=0.4

So when x=5, y=0.4

Determine whether the value is a discrete random​ variable, continuous random​ variable, or not a random variable. a. The number
Bumek [7]

Answer:

a. Discrete

b. Discrete

c. Not a random variable

d. Continuous

e. Discrete

f. Continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

The discrete random variable is countable while continuous random variable is measurable.

a. The number of fish caught is a discrete random variable because these are countable.

b. The number of text book authors are also countable so it is a discrete random variable.

c. The political party affiliation of adults is not a random variable because the political party affiliation depends on person's interest and it cannot be randomly assigned to person. Also random variable is the numerical outcome of random experiment whereas political affiliation is the categorical variable that results in non numerical responses such as Democrat, Republicans etc.

d. The square footage of a house is measurable and so it is a continuous random variable.    

e. The number of free dash throw attempts are countable so it is a discrete random variable

f. The weight of Upper T dash bone steak is measurable and so it is a continuous random variable.
