An=a1+d(n-1)
first term is -5 (only way for it to make sense)
common difference is proabtly 5

an=-5+5(n-1)
17th term
an=-5+5(17-1)
an=-5+5(16)
an=-5+80
an=75
17th term is 75

The n-th term for an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 5 and a first term of -5 is given by
a(n) = -5 + 5(n-1)
or
a(n) = 5n -10

The 17th term is found by evaluating this for n=17.
a17 = 5·17 - 10
a17 = 75

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval of the population standard deviation is 1.7047 < σ < 7.485

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval of standard deviation is given as follows;

$\sqrt{\dfrac{\left (n-1 \right )s^{2}}{\chi _{1-\alpha /2}^{}}}< \sigma < \sqrt{\dfrac{\left (n-1 \right )s^{2}}{\chi _{\alpha /2}^{}}}$

s = $\sqrt{\dfrac{\Sigma (x - \bar x)^2}{n - 1} }$

Where:

$\bar x$ = Sample mean

s = Sample standard deviation

n = Sample size = 7

χ = Chi squared value at the given confidence level

$\bar x$ = ∑x/n = (62 + 58 + 58 + 56 + 60 +53 + 58)/7 = 57.857

The sample standard deviation s = $\sqrt{\dfrac{\Sigma (x - \bar x)^2}{n - 1} }$ = 2.854

The test statistic, derived through computation, = ±3.707

Which gives;

$C. I. = 57.857 \pm 3.707 \times \dfrac{2.854}{\sqrt{7} }$

$\sqrt{\dfrac{\left (7-1 \right )2.854^{2}}{16.812}^{}}}< \sigma < \sqrt{\dfrac{\left (7-1 \right )2.854^{2}}{0.872}}$

1.7047 < σ < 7.485

The 99% confidence interval of the population standard deviation = 1.7047 < σ < 7.485.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (6, -1) and (3, 47)

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(47+1)/(3-6) = 48/-3 = -16

y + 1 = -16(x - 6)

y + 1 = -16x + 96

y = -16x + 95
