Find S10 for -1 + -7 + -13 + -19

1 answer:

4 0

First we find the common difference...to do this we subtract the first term from the second term. -7 - (-1) = -7 + 1 = -6

now we are going to find the 10th term
an = a1 + (n-1)*d <== formula for finding any term in arithmetic series
a1 = 1st term, d = common difference, n = term we want to find
now we sub
a10 = -1 + (10 -1) * -6
a10 = -1 + (9 * -6)
a10 = -1 - 54
a10 = - 55

now we will find the sum
Sn = (n (a1+ an)) / 2 <== formula for finding the sum
S10 = (10(-1 - 55))/2
S10 = (10(-56) / 2
S10 = -560/2
S10 = - 280

so the sum of the first 10 numbers is -280

Hi!

Since there are currently 8 bags on the top shelf, the remaining 25 should divide by 3, and the closest number is 8.

Hope this helps!

Answer:
B) (0, 2)
General Formulas and Concepts:
- Reading a Cartesian Plane
The y-intercept is the y-value when x = 0. It is also when the graph crosses the y-axis.
Step-by-Step Explanation:
According the the graph given, the graph crosses the y-axis at 2. Therefore, when x = 0, y = 2, and we have our y-int.

Answer:

The z-score for the trainee is of 2.

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 z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean of the test scores is 72 with a standard deviation of 5.

This means that $\mu = 72, \sigma = 5$

Find the z-score for a trainee, given a score of 82.

This is Z when X = 82. So

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

$Z = \frac{82 - 72}{5}$

$Z = 2$

The z-score for the trainee is of 2.
