Answer:

This series diverges.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the series to converge, i.e. \lim_{n \to \infty} a_n =A it must hold that for any small \epsilon>0, there must exist n_0\in \mathbb{N} so that starting from that term of the series all of the following terms satisfy that  |a_n-A|n_0 .

It is obvious that this cannot hold in our case because we have three sub-series of this observed series. One of them is a constant series with a_n=1 , the other is constant with a_n=3 , and the third one has terms that are approaching infinity.

Really, we can write this series like this:

a_n=\begin{cases} 1 \ , \ n=4k+1, k\in \mathbb{N}_0\\ 2^{k}\ , \ n=2k, k\in \mathbb{N}_0\\3\ , \ n=4k+3, k\in \mathbb{N}_0\end{cases}

If we  denote the first series as b_n=1, we will have that \lim_{k \to \infty} b_k=1.

The second series is denoted as c_k=2^k and we have that \lim_{k \to \infty} c_k=+\infty.

The third sub-series d_k=3 is a constant series and it holds that \lim_{k \to \infty} d_k=3.

Since those limits of sub-series are different, we can never find such n_0\\ so that every next term of the entire series is close to one number.

To make an example, if we observe the first sub-series if follows that A must be equal to 1. But if we chose \epsilon =1, all those terms associated with the third sub-series will be out of this interval (A-1, A+1)=(0, 2).

Therefore, the observed series diverges.

Tristan records the number of customers who visit the store each hour on a Saturday. His data representing the first seven hours
Alona [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given total 8 data

Data is : 12,15,18,20,23,23,28

Here, n=7

Median is \frac{n+1}{2}=\frac{7+1}{2}=4th term

Median is 20.

When one data is added n=8

The median of  even number of data is  

median=\frac{\frac{n}{2}\text{th and}\frac{n}{2}+1\text{th}}{2}

Median is \frac{8}{2}\text{th and}\frac{8}{2}+1th

Median is 4\text{th and}5th

4th terms is 20

5th terms is 23

Since, median should not be change hence,

Median will be 20.

Therefore, option C is correct.

4) Allison practices her violin for at least 12 hours per week. She practices for three fourths of an hour each
zaharov [31]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

So, she practices 12 hrs per week, and already has practiced 3 hrs this week.

This means she has 9 hrs left to practice.

3/4 of an hour is one session, so to find out the number of sessions she needs, you have to do (9 hours)/(one session)

which is basically 9 / ( 3/4)

\frac{9}{3/4}=\frac{9}{1} / \frac{3}{4}  = \frac{9}{1} * \frac{4}{3} = \frac{36}{3}  = 12

She needs 12 more sessions.
