Answer:

First day, N(1) = 4

Second day, N(2) = 4 + 3 = 7

Third day, N(3) = 4 + 6 = 10

Fourth day, N(4) = 4 + 9 = 13

Fifth day, N(5) = 4 + 12 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

She spent 5 days on her vacation.

She collected 50 seashells in those days. Each day she collected 3 more than the previous day.

We can represent this with an arithmetic progression:

N(n) = x + 3(n - 1)

Where x is the amount of sea shells collected on the first day.

n = the particular day

So, for the five days day:

N(1) = x + 3(1 - 1) = x + 3(0) = x

N(2) = x + 3(2 - 1) = x + 3(1) = x + 3

N(3) = x + 3(3 - 1) = x + 3(2) = x + 6

N(4) = x + 3(4 - 1) = x + 3(3) = x + 9

N(5) = x + 3(5 - 1) = x + 3(4) = x + 12

The sum of all the sea shells is 50:

N(1) + N(2) + N(3) + N(4) + N(5) = 50

=> x + x + 3 + x + 6 + x + 9 + x + 12 = 50

5x + 30 = 50

5x = 50 - 30 = 20

x = 20 / 5

x = 4

Therefore:

First day, N(1) = 4

Second day, N(2) = 4 + 3 = 7

Third day, N(3) = 4 + 6 = 10

Fourth day, N(4) = 4 + 9 = 13

Fifth day, N(5) = 4 + 12 = 16

Find the critical value zα/2 that corresponds to a 98% confidence level.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

A critical value is the point on the scale of the test statistic (z test in this case) outside which we reject the null hypothesis, and is taken from the level of significance of the test. The critical values can be obtained from the standard distribution tables for z and for this case, it is equivalent to:

critical value zα/2 at 98% confidence level = 2.326

Answer: 2.326

F(1) = 5
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

a(7)=3645

Step-by-step explanation:

you have :

f(1) =a= 5

and from recursive rule: f(n) = r · f(n − 1) and f(n) = 3 · f(n − 1)

So r=3

then

a(n)=a*r^(n-1)

a(7)=5*3^(7-1)

a(7)=5*3^6=3645

<em>hope this helps</em>
