 ∑ [100(−4)n−1]
n=1

Once again, since this is summation notation:

Start at the number on the bottom. Plug in that number to the equation on the right, plug in the next number into the equation on the right, and so on, until you get to the number on top. Plug in that final number, and after you get the solution, add all the solutions you have all together.

One thing though: the bottom number cannot be bigger than the number on top.

n=1; 100 x (-4) x (1) - 1 = -401
n=2; 100 x (-4) x (2) - 1 = -801
n=3; 100 x (-4) x (3) - 1 = -12001
n=4; 100 x (-4) x (4) - 1 = - 16001

-401-801-12001-16001 = -29204

The amount of time it takes to see a doctor a CPT-Memorial is normally distributed with a mean of 33 minutes and a standard devi

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

a) Z-score = 0.75

b) Z-score = -32.833

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that mean of the Population = 33

Given a standard deviation of the Population = 12

Let 'X' be a random variable in a normal distribution

Let 'X' = 42

Step(ii):-

$Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D}$

$Z = \frac{42-33}{12} = 0.75$

Step(iii):-

Given that mean of the Population = 89

Given a standard deviation of the Population = 1

Let 'X' be a random variable in a normal distribution

Let 'X⁻ = 82

$Z = \frac{x^{-} -mean}{\frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } }$

$Z = \frac{82-89}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{22} } } = -32.833$

Z-score = -32.833

Rita is making a beaded bracelet. She has a collection of 160 blue beads, 80 gray beads, and 240 pink beads. What is the estimat

a_sh-v [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Rita is making a beaded bracelet. She has a collection of 160 blue beads, 80 gray beads, and 240 pink beads. We are to calculate the probability that Rita will need to pick atleast 5 beads before she picks a grey bead from her collection.

Prob for drawing atleast 5 beads before she picks a grey bead from her collection

= 1-Prob for drawing atleast one grey beed in the first 5 draws.

(Because these two are complementary events)

no of grey beeds drawn in first 5 trials is

Bi=(5,1/6)

Prob for drawing atleast one grey beed in the first 5 draws.

=1-Prob of no grey

Hence required prob=P(X=0 in first 5 draws)

= 0.4018

6th beeds onwards can be grey also.

Nearest answer is c)0.45

The population of a town increased from 3650 in 2012 to 4700 in 2014. Find the absolute increase.

aev [14]

Treat this like a slope formula. Y2-y1 divided by x2-x1.
Your y2 value is the second population
Y1= value of first population.
X2= second year they give
X1= first year they give.
4700-3650
_________
2014-2012

1050
____
2

525 is the increase a year

Which infinite geometric series can you NOT find the sum?

Oksanka [162]

Answer: C) 127, 152.4, 182.88, 219.456,...

Step-by-step explanation:

You can only find the sum of an infinite geometric sequence if it converges.

One criterion to see if the series converges is if:

aₙ < aₙ₋₁

This means that, as n increases, the value of the terms decreases.

This means that as n tends to infinity, aₙ tends to zero.

Then we only can find the sum of those series where the terms are decreasing.

in A, B and D the terms are decreasing, then we can find the sum of those 3 series.

Now in the case of C, the terms are increasing, then we can not find the sum of that series.
