Answer:

3*∑ (1/2)^n = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the summation from n = 1 to n = ∞, for:

∑ 3/(2)^(n - 1)

We know that the summation between k = 0, and k = N - 1 for:

∑ r^k = (1 - r^N)/(1 - r)

if we have the summation between k = 0 and k = ∞ - 1 = ∞

(here we used that ∞ is really big, then ∞ - 1 = ∞)

In the numerator we will have the term r^∞, if 0 < r < 1, then r^∞ = 0.

Then if we assume that 0 < r < 1 we can write:

∑ r^k =  1/(1 - r)

In our case, we can rewrite our summation as:

3*∑ (1/2)^n

for n = 0 to  n = ∞

You can see that i changed the limits for n, this does not really matter because we are summing between a number and infinity, the only thing you need to take care is that now the power is n, instead of (n - 1)

Then we have r = (1/2) which is clearly smaller than 1.

then (1/2)

Then this summation is equal to:

3*∑ (1/2)^n = 3*( 1/(1 - 1/2)) = 3*( 1/( 2/2 - 1/2)) = 3*( 1/(1/2)) = 3*2 = 6

3*∑ (1/2)^n = 6

The cost of a daily newspaper varies from city to city. however, the variation among prices remains steady with a standard devia
Tanya [424]

First, we establish our hypothesis:

<span>Null hypothesis H0: μ = $1.00  </span>

Alternative hypothesis Ha: μ ≠ $1.00

<span>Let’s say X  = the sample average cost of a daily newspaper = 0.96</span>

u = population mean cost = 1.00

S = sample standard deviation = 0.18

Calculating for z value:

z = (X – u) / S

z = (0.96 – 1) / 0.18

z = – 0.222

From the standard distribution table at this z value, p-value = 0.4129

Since alpha = 0.01, the decision therefore is:

<span>Do not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is greater than 0.01. There is enough evidence to support the claim that the mean cost of newspapers is $1. </span>

A square patio has a perimeter of (32x+8) feet. What is the length of the patio?
Sonbull [250]

The perimeter of the square patio is the sum of its side lengths

The length of the patio is: 8x + 2

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{Shape = Square}

\mathbf{Perimeter = 32x + 8}

The perimeter of a square is:

\mathbf{Perimeter = 4 \times Length}

So, we have:

\mathbf{4 \times Length = 32x + 8}

Divide both sides by 4

\mathbf{Length = 8x + 2}

Hence, the length of the patio is: 8x + 2
