F(5) = - 2f(4) + 1
f(4) = -2f(3) + 1
f(3) = -2f(2) + 1
f(2) = -2f(1) + 1
Therefore:
f(2) = -2(3) + 1 = -5
f(3) = -2(-5) + 1 = 11
f(4) = -2(11) + 1 = -21
Therefore f(5) = -2(-21) + 1 = 43

In a random sample of 5 residents of the state of Texas, the mean waste recycled per person per day was 1.9 pounds with a standa

sammy [17]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2><h2 />

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

$\overline{x} \pm\ t_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Sample size : n= 5, since n<30 , so the test we use here is t-test.

Sample mean : $\overline{x}=1.9\text{ pounds}$

Standard deviation: $\sigma=0.89\text{ pounds}$

Significance level : $1-\alpha:1-0.99=0.01$

By using the standard normal distribution table , the critical value corresponds to the given significance level will be :-

$t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{5-1,0.01/2}=t_{4,0.005}=4.604$

Now, the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Texas will be :-

$1.9\pm\ (4.604)\dfrac{0.89}{\sqrt{5}}\\\\\approx1.9\pm1.832\\\\=(1.9-1.832,1.9+1.832)=(0.068,\ 3.732)$

Hence, the 99% confidence interval for the mean waste recycled per person per day for the population of Texas = (0.068, 3.732)

Write a real-world problem that is solved by an equation and then solve (show work).

A company is selling books. It has to pay $500 to start printing the books, and once they have done that, the books sell at $14.99 each. How many books must they sell to make a profit?

First we would model an equation. X will be the amount of books sold, and Y will be profits (in dollars obv). They had to pay $500 before they could start selling, so we must account for that too.

This equation would be $y=14.99x-500$ because for every book sold, X increases by 1, increasing Y by 14.99

The answer would be 34 books sold in order to turn a profit. (500/14.99=
