Answer:

<em> (n - 1)/2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

F = (1 - 1/n) + (1 - 2/n) + (1 - 3/n) + ...(1 - n/n)

  = (1 + 1 ... + 1) - (1/n + 2/n + 3/n + ...n/n)

     (there are n terms of 1)

  = n - (1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n)/n

  = n - [n x (n + 1)/2]/n

  = n - [n x (n + 1)]/[2 x n]

  = n - (n+1)/2

  = (2n - n - 1)/2

  = (n - 1)/2

Hope this helps!

The lifespans of gorillas in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average gorilla lives 20.8 years; the
Luda [366]
If the mean is 20.8, one standard deviation each way is adding and subtracting 3.1, so 17.7 and 23.9 (68% of values)

Two standard deviations adding and subtracting 3.1*2 = 6.2, or 14.6 and 27.

Three standard deviations is 11.5 and 30.1

So we have
11.5 - 14.6 - 17.7 - 20.8 - 23.9 - 27 - 30.1

Going left to 11.5 is 3 standard deviations out, so 99.7/2 = 49.85%

Going right to 27 is 2 standard deviations out, so 95/2 = 47.5%

Add those two % to get 97.32%

This is hard to do without a picture so I hope that helps!

What is the area of the trapezoid that is not drawn to scale??
netineya [11]
I think the answer would be 38in^2

Because the equation is : (a+b) *h / 2
A and b are both the bases of the trapezium

So (11 + 8) these are the bases and the height is 4 so you would do
(11+8)*4 / 2
(19)*4 / 2
76 / 2
= 38
