Answer:

13.6 (Answer C)

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you meant f(n) = 0.4 * f(n-1) + 12, where * represents multiplication.

Then f(2) = 0.4 * (4) + 12, or 1.6 + 12, or 13.6.

Answer:

Assuming you have $f(n)=0.4f(n-1)+12$ with $f(1)=4$ , the answer is f(2)=13.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that says $f(n)=0.4f(n-1)+12$ with $f(1)=4$ .

Now we want to find $f(2)$ so replace n with 2:

This gives you:

$f(2)=0.4f(2-1)+12$

$f(2)=0.4f(1)+12$

$f(2)=0.4(4)+12$

$f(2)=1.6+12$

$f(2)=13.6$

Given:

Compound shape

To find:

The area of the compound shape.

Solution:

The compound shape is splitted into two parallelograms.

<u>Bottom parallelogram:</u>

Base = 7.5 cm

Height = 5 cm

Area of the parallelogram = base × height

= 7.5 × 5

= 37.5 cm²

The area of the Bottom parallelogram 37.5 cm².

<u>Top parallelogram:</u>

Base = 7.5 cm

Height = 4.5 cm

Area of the parallelogram = base × height

= 7.5 × 4.5

= 33.75 cm²

The area of the top parallelogram 33.75 cm².

Compound shape = 37.5 + 33.75

= 71.25 cm²

The area of the compound shape is 71.25 cm².

A sociologist was investigating the ages of grandparents of high school students. From a random sample of 10 high school student

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$(69.8-71.6) -2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= -8.908$

$(69.8-71.6) +2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= 5.308$

So then the confidence interval for the difference of means is given by:

$-8.908 \leq \mu_M -\mu_F \leq 5.308$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X_{M}= 69.8$ represent the mean for the age of grandmother

$\bar X_{F}= 71.6$ represent the mean for the age of grandfather

$s_{M}= 8.38$ represent the sample deviation for the age of grandmother

$s_{F}= 6.65$ represent the sample deviation for the age of grandfather

$n_M = n_F= 10$

Solution to the problem

For this case the confidence interval is given by:

$(\bar X_{M} -\bar X_F) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_M}{n_M} +\frac{s^2_F}{n_F}}$

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n_M +n_F-2=10+10-2=18$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,18)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.101$
