<h3>Answer: 31</h3>

=======================================

Work Shown:

Use the value of a0 to find the value of a1. The idea is you double the previous value, and then add 1.

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{0+1} = 2*(a_0) + 1\\\\a_{1} = 2*(1) + 1\\\\a_{1} = 3\\\\

Which is then used to find the value of a2. Follow the same process as before (double the previous value and then add 1).

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{1+1} = 2*(a_1) + 1\\\\a_{2} = 2*(3) + 1\\\\a_{2} = 7\\\\

This is used to find a3

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{2+1} = 2*(a_2) + 1\\\\a_{3} = 2*(7) + 1\\\\a_{3} = 15\\\\

Finally we can now find a4

a_{n+1} = 2*(a_n) + 1\\\\a_{3+1} = 2*(a_3) + 1\\\\a_{4} = 2*(15) + 1\\\\a_{4} = 31\\\\

Recursive sequences like this aren't too bad if n is small, but as n gets larger, things become more tedious. For those cases, its best to try to find a closed form equation. If not, then the next best thing is using a spreadsheet to automate the process.

The manufacturer of a refrigerator system for beer kegs produces refrigerators that are supposed to maintain a true mean tempera
Bond [772]

Answer:

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean temperature is different from 42 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, we are being told that:

The manufacturer of a refrigerator system for beer kegs produces refrigerators that are supposed to maintain a true mean temperature, μ, of 42°F

i. e  mean  μ = 42

The owner of the brewery does not agree with the refrigerator manufacturer, and claims he can prove that the true mean temperature is incorrect.

Assuming that a hypothesis test of the claim has been conducted and that the conclusion is to reject the null hypothesis, state the conclusion in nontechnical terms.

From above;

The null and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

\mathbf{H_o : \mu  = 42} \\ \\ \mathbf {H_1 : \mu \neq 42}

Here , the hypothesis test of the claim is the alternative hypothesis.

The conclusion based on the decision rule:  is to reject the null hypothesis

∴

The conclusion in non technical terms is that :

There is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the mean temperature is different from 42 deg

Hector's family traveled 7 10 of the distance to his grandmother's house on Saturday. They traveled 2 3 of the remaining distanc
kirill115 [55]

Answer: 1 / 5 of the total distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

They traveled 7/10 of the distance on Saturday. This means that on Saturday, the fraction left was:

= 1 - 7/10

= 3/10 of the distance

On Sunday, they traveled 2/3 of this remaining distance. The fraction of the distance traveled is therefore:

= 2/3 * 3/10

= 6 / 30

= 1 / 5 of the total distance.
