Step-by-step explanation:

You are just replacing the 'n' with the number in the 'n box'.

So if this is the formula:

$b(n) = 4 - (n \div 3)$

then:

B(-3)= 4-(-3/3)

B(-3)= 4-( -1)

B(-3)= 4+1

B(-3)= 5

B(0)= 4-(0/3)

B(0)= 4-0

B(0)= 4

B(3)= 4-(3/3)

B(3)= 4-1

B(3)= 3

The feet of the average adult woman are 24.6 cm long, and foot lengths are normally distributed. If 16% of adult women have feet

Answer:

Approximately 16% of adult women have feet longer than 27.2 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The feet of the average adult woman are 24.6 cm long

This means that $\mu = 24.6$

16% of adult women have feet that are shorter than 22 cm

This means that when $X = 22$ , Z has a p-value of 0.16, so when $X = 22, Z = -1$ . We use this to find $\sigma$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-1 = \frac{22 - 24.6}{\sigma}$

$-\sigma = -2.6$

$\sigma = 2.6$

Approximately what percent of adult women have feet longer than 27.2 cm?

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 27.2. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{27.2 - 24.6}{2.6}$

$Z = 1$

$Z = 1$ has a p-value of 0.84.

1 - 0.84 = 0.16

0.16*100% = 16%.

Approximately 16% of adult women have feet longer than 27.2 cm.

In an arithmetic sequence, = 5 and = 11.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

1134.62 (THE SUM OF 20 TERMS)

Step-by-step explanation:

First we write out our given information:

a8=2a2

a11=18

an is an arithmetic sequence.

Where here an means the nth term of our sequence.

What does an arithmetic sequence mean? It means to get to the next term in your sequence you add a constant (c) each time:

an+1=an+c

Equivalently:

an+1−an(n+1)−n=c

So an is of slope c (c2 is another constant):

an=cn+c2

Where here c2=a0 (Substitute in n=0 and see why that has to be the case if we let a0 exist)

Now we use the other given information to try to come up with a solution.

Let n=2:

a2=2c+c2

Let n=8, using the above equation we have:

a8=8c+c2=2a2=4c+2c2

Let n=11

a11=18

a11=11c+c2

But a11−a8=(11c+c2)−(8c+c2)=3c

Hence, a11=3c+a8

a11=3c+4c+2c2=18

a11=3c+8c+c2=18

The probability of contamination in batch 1 of a drug (event A) is 0.16, and the probability of contamination in batch 2 of the

VLD [36.1K]

We have:
Event A ⇒ P(A) = 0.16
Event B ⇒ P(B) = 0.09
Probability of event B given event A happening, P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A) = 0.12

By the conditional probability, the probability of event A and event B happens together is given by:
P(B|A) = P(A∩B) ÷ P(A)
P(B|A) = P(A∩B) ÷ 0.16
0.12 = P(A∩B) ÷ 0.16
P(A∩B) = 0.12 × 0.16
P(A∩B) = 0.0192

When two events are independent, P(A) × P(B) = P(A∩B) so if P(A∩B) = 0.0192, then P(B) will be 0.0192 ÷ 0.16 = 0.12 (which take us back to P(B|A))

Since P(B|A) does not equal to P(B), event A and event B are not independent.

Answer: Events A and B are not independent because P(B|A) ≠ P(B)

A water balloon has a diameter of 6 inches. How many cubic inches of water does it contain when it is 3/4 full

Travka [436]

Below are the choices that can be found from other sources:

A) 36 pi
B) 6 pi 
C) 27 pi 
D) 216 pi 
E) 48 pi

A sphere's volume is (4/3)*pi*r^3.
The diameter of the balloon is 6 inches. The diameter is twice the radius. The radius is 3 inches. 

(4/3)*pi*3^3 = 36 * pi 

But the balloon is only 3/4 full. So 

36 * (3/4) * pi = 27 * pi. 

The balloon has 27 pi cubic inches of water.
