Question seem incorrect because 60%,50% and 20% sum up to more than a 100% therefore we've made a little correction

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = number of favorable outcomes/number of outcomes

Given that 30% are entertained by reading books

50% are entertained by watching TV

20% are entertained by reading books and watching TV

The probability that a person will be entertained by books or TV =

30/100+50/100= 3/10+5/10

=8/10

=0.8

Use technology and the given confidence level and sample data to find the confidence interval for the population mean mu . assum
attashe74 [19]

To solve for the confidence interval for the population mean mu, we can use the formula:

Confidence interval = x ± z * s / sqrt (n)

where x is the sample mean, s is the standard deviation, and n is the sample size

 

At 95% confidence level, the value of z is equivalent to:

z = 1.96

 

Therefore substituting the given values into the equation:

Confidence interval = 3 ± 1.96 * 5.8 / sqrt (51)

Confidence interval = 3 ± 1.59

Confidence interval = 1.41, 4.59

 

Therefore the population mean mu has an approximate range or confidence interval from 1.41 kg to 4.59 kg.

What are the first three terms of the sequence: a1 = 3 and an = 2(an -1)^2?. . a. 2, 8, 18. . b. 3, 18, 648. . c. 3, 32, 50. . d
AlexFokin [52]
The first term of the sequence is already given to be 3. Use this value to obtain the second term.
                                     a2 = 2(a1)^2 = 2(3)² = 18
Use the value of the second term to get the third term through the equation,
                                     a3 = 2(a2)² = 2(18)² = 648
Thus, the answer to this item is letter B.
