Damm [24]3 years ago
8 0

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}

A researcher interested in Springfield citizens' shopping habits surveys a randomly selected group of 200 Walmart shoppers. 76%
luda_lava [24]

Answer and Explanation: The results of the survey would not be accurate to the whole of springfield, as the sample was not a random sample. A random sample is where each person in a given area (Springfield in this case) has an equal chance of being surveyed. In this case, only walmart shoppers were surveyed. Therefor, the results can only apply to shoppers at walmart, not the whole of Springfield.

Round 0.687 yo the nearest tenths place
Vaselesa [24]

Answer: 0.7

Locate the tenths place which is just to the right of the decimal point. We see a 6 in this spot. Just to the right of this 6 is the value 8. Since 8 is larger than 5, we bump the 6 up to 7 and erase everything else to the right. You can think of it like this

0.687 ---> 0.6 which bumps up to 0.7

This is like saying 687 is closer to 700 than it is to 600
