For each of the finite geometric series given below, indicate the number of terms in the sum and find the sum. For the value of

the sum, enter an expression that gives the exact value, rather than entering an approximation.

Answer:

Number of term N = 9

Value of Sum = 0.186

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Number of term N = 3 (0.5)^{5} + 3 (0.5)^{6} + 3 (0.5)^{7} + \cdots + 3 (0.5)^{13}

Number of term N = 3 (0.5)^{5} + 3 (0.5)^{6} + 3 (0.5)^{7} +3 (0.5)^{8}+3 (0.5)^{9} +3 (0.5)^{10} +3 (0.5)^{11}+3 (0.5)^{12}+ 3 (0.5)^{13}

Number of term N = 9

The Value of the sum can be determined by using the expression for geometric series:

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{a(r^m-r^{n+1})}{1-r}

here;

m = 5

n = 9

r = 0.5

Then:

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{3(0.5^5-0.5^{9+1})}{1-0.5}

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{3(0.03125-0.5^{10})}{0.5}

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =\dfrac{(0.09375-9.765625*10^{-4})}{0.5}

\sum \limits ^n_{k=m}ar^k =0.186

Chaz's new game room is shaped like a cube. It measures 15 feet across. If he wants to paint only the walls of the room, what is
dezoksy [38]

<u>The surface area of the region he will paint is 900 sq.ft.</u>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Cubical room measures - 15 ft

Chaz want  to paint only the walls of room

Surface of painting region means Lateral surface area (excluding top and bottom)

Lateral surface area of cube = 4a^2      

 ⇒ 4 * 15 *15

 ⇒  900 sq.ft

<u>   The surface area of the region he will paint is 900 sq.ft.</u>

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

1 - NORM.DIST(625, 600, 15 ,TRUE)

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In Excel:

We use the norm.dist command.

NORM.DIST(x, mean, standard_dev ,cumulative)

x is the tested value, mean and standard_dev are the mean and the standard deviation, while cumulative we use true to find a probability of a value lower than x, so for a value higher than x, we use:

1 - NORM.DIST(x, mean, standard_dev ,TRUE)

Mean of 600 copies and a standard deviation of 15 copies.

mean = 600, standard_dev = 15

You want to find the probability of selling more than 625 newspapers on any given day.

x = 625

What is the Excel Command

1 - NORM.DIST(625, 600, 15 ,TRUE)
