st identifies the population.
A. The population is the daily randomally selected dozen cupcakes
B. The pop is al of the cupcakes in the bakery
C. The population is all goods produced by the bakery
D. The population is the employees of the bakery

Answer:

b) all of the cupcakes in the bakery

Explanation:

in statistics, the population is a group of people/things that are in the same category for collecting data. c) and d) are thus wrong since no data is collected about the other goods or the employees, while a) is wrong because that is just a sample (which helps to test for a large population) and not the actual population.

i hope this helps! :D

A Car Travels m miles in t hours express its average speed algebraically

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

speed = $\frac{m}{t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

using the formula that relates distance/ speed/ time

distance = speed × time

hence speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$ = $\frac{m}{t}$

Determine the above sequence converges or diverges. If the sequence converges determine its limit

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

This series is convergent. The partial sums of this series converge to $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The $n$ th partial sum of a series is the sum of its first $n\!\!$ terms. In symbols, if $a_n$ denote the $n\!$ th term of the original series, the $\! n$ th partial sum of this series would be:

$\begin{aligned} S_n &= \sum\limits_{k = 1}^{n} a_k \\ &= a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_{k}\end{aligned}$ .

A series is convergent if the limit of its partial sums, $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n}$ , exists (should be a finite number.)

In this question, the $n$ th term of this original series is:

$\displaystyle a_{n} = \frac{{(-1)}^{n+1}}{{2}^{n}}$ .

The first thing to notice is the ${(-1)}^{n+1}$ in the expression for the $n$ th term of this series. Because of this expression, signs of consecutive terms of this series would alternate between positive and negative. This series is considered an alternating series.

One useful property of alternating series is that it would be relatively easy to find out if the series is convergent (in other words, whether $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n}$ exists.)

If $\lbrace a_n \rbrace$ is an alternating series (signs of consecutive terms alternate,) it would be convergent (that is: the partial sum limit $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n}$ exists) as long as $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} |a_{n}| = 0$ .

For the alternating series in this question, indeed:

$\begin{aligned}\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} |a_n| &= \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \left|\frac{{(-1)}^{n+1}}{{2}^{n}}\right| = \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} {\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{n} =0\end{aligned}$ .

Therefore, this series is indeed convergent. However, this conclusion doesn't give the exact value of $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n}$ . The exact value of that limit needs to be found in other ways.

Notice that $\lbrace a_n \rbrace$ is a geometric series with the first term is $a_0 = (-1)$ while the common ratio is $r = (- 1/ 2)$ . Apply the formula for the sum of geometric series to find an expression for $S_n$ :

$\begin{aligned}S_n &= \frac{a_0 \cdot \left(1 - r^{n}\right)}{1 - r} \\ &= \frac{\displaystyle (-1) \cdot \left(1 - {(-1 / 2)}^{n}\right)}{1 - (-1/2)} \\ &= \frac{-1 + {(-1 / 2)}^{n}}{3/2} = -\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot {\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{n}\end{aligned}$ .

Evaluate the limit $\displaystyle \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n}$ :

$\begin{aligned} \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} S_{n} &= \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \left(-\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot {\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{n}\right) \\ &= -\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot \underbrace{\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \left[{\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)}^{n} \right] }_{0}= -\frac{2}{3}\end{aligned}}_$ .

Therefore, the partial sum of this series converges to $\displaystyle \left(- \frac{2}{3}\right)$ .
