What is the sum of the first five terms of a geometric series with a1=15 and r=1/3

Mathematics

Answer:

15, 5, 5/3, 5/9, 5/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall, that the general form of a geometric series is

a, ar, ar², ar³, .........

where a is the first term and r is the ratio

It is given that the first time is 15, hence a = 15

also given that ratio is 1/3

hence the first 5 terms are:

15, (15)(1/3), (15)(1/3)^2, (15)(1/3)^3, (15)(1/3)^4

simplifying each term gives

15, 5, 5/3, 5/9, 5/27

Answer:

605/27 or 22.41 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the sum of n terms is

an = a1 *  (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)  where a1 = the first term and r = the common difference.

So here a5 =  15 * (1 - (1/3)^5) / (1 - 1/3)

= 605/27

= 22.41 to the nearest hundredth.

Carly placed 50 marbles in a bag. Fifteen of the marbles are pink, 8 marbles are black,
yuradex [85]

When you go into this problem, you want to figure out your marble ammount to 50 so in this case we will say C for color and 50 for the total ammount of marbles.

We know 15 are pink, 8 are black, 2 are green, 18 are clear, and 7 are striped

15P/50

8B/50

2G/50

18C/50

7S/50 for a total of 50 marbles

Now we use the chart to decide our awnsers  

A. We know our propability of drawing a green and clear is 20/50 which if we simplify is a 2/5 ratio. If We put this in perspective 2/5 is rare and is unlikley to even.

B. We know a striped marble is 18/50 or 1.8/5 ratio which is mainly unlikely

C. We have 23/50 marbles that are black and pink, our propability is about 2.3/5 and gives us an even chance to get one of these

D. We know we have 33/50 marbles that are pink and clear and gives us a 3.3/5 chance of getting one of  these and gives us an even to likely chance of getting one of these.

E. If we have a total of 17 marbles in these 3 colors, we have a 1.7/5 chance of getting one of these and is probably impossible to unlikey.

If we wish to obtain a​ 95% confidence interval of a parameter using the bootstrap​ method, we determine the​ _______ percentile
BigorU [14]

Answer:

2.5th percentile and the 97.5th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

So we obtain the 0.025*100 = 2.5th percentile and the (1-0.025)*100 = 97.5th percentile.

So the answer is:

2.5th percentile and the 97.5th percentile.
