Answer:

a) Arithmetic

b) 22.5

c) 4.5

d) a_n = 4.5 + 4.5(n - 1)

e) a_15 = 67.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Subtract one term by the term right before it, and the difference will be the common difference.

9 - 4.5 = 4.5

13.5 - 9 = 4.5

18 - 13.5 = 4.5

Therefore, the common difference is 4.5.

b) Since the common difference is 4.5, add 4.5 to the 18 (which was the last value given). The result is 22.5.

c) We have already figured out that the common difference is 4.5.

d) The explicit formula would be a_n = a1 + d(n - 1). The first term is 4.5 and d is also 4.5, so the explicit formula is a_n = 4.5 + 4.5(n-1).

e) Plug 15 into our explicit formula for n. a_15 = 4.5 + 4.5(14). The result is 67.5.

Answer:

A. Arithmetic, because they have a common difference of 4.5

B. The next term will be 18 + 4.5 = 22.5

C. Common difference = T2 — T1 or T3 —T2

T2 — T1 = 9 — 4.5 = 4.5 or

T3 —T2 = 13.5 — 9 = 4.5

D. Tn = a + d( n — 1)

E. Tn = a + d( n — 1)

a = 4.5

d = 4.5

n = 15

T15 = 4.5 + 4.5( 15 — 1)

T15 = 4.5 + 4.5(14) = 67.5

Find the derivative of f(x) = 8 divided by x at x = -1. 4 0 8 -8

Amanda [17]

$\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\cfrac{8}{x}\implies y=8x^{-1}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dx}=8(-1)x^{-2}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dx}=-8x^{-2}
\\\\\\
\left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=-\cfrac{8}{x^2}\right|_{x=-1}\implies \cfrac{-8}{(-1)^2}\implies -8$

Here is a problem that I need help with

77julia77 [94]

You turn 4/5 to 8/10 to get equal denominators and add the numerators together to get 16/10, or 1 6/10 which is reduced to 1 3/5.

According to a recent Census Bureau report, 12.7% of Americans live below the poverty level. Suppose you plan to sample at rando

larisa [96]

Answer:

a) $P(X=10)=(100C10)(0.127)^{10} (1-0.127)^{100-10}=0.0928$

b) $P(X \leq 10) = 0.2614$

c) $(1-0.127)^7 (0.127) =0.0491$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=100, p=0.127)$
