Answer:

Hello,

0,4925...

Step-by-step explanation:

A geometric random variable X with parameter p has probability function:

$f(x)=p*(1-p)^x\ where\ x=0,1,2,3....\\\\mean=\dfrac{1-p}{p} =\dfrac{1-0.67}{0.67} =0.4925...$

Solve the inequality 2x>30+5/4x

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x > 30+\frac{5}{4x} \\2x-\frac{5}{4x} > 30\\\frac{8x^2-5}{4x} > 30\\case~1\\if~x > 0\\8x^2-5 > 120x\\8x^2-120x > 5\\x^2-15x > \frac{5}{8} \\adding~(-\frac{15}{2} )^2~to~both~sides\\(x-\frac{15}{2} )^2 > \frac{5}{8}+\frac{225}{4} \\(x-\frac{15}{2} )^2 > \frac{455}{8} \\x-\frac{15}{2} < -\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\x < \frac{15}{2}-\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\or~x < 0\\rejected~as~x > 0$

$x-\frac{15}{2} > \sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\x > \frac{15}{2} +\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} }$

case~2

$if~x < 0\\8x^2-5 < 120x\\8x^2-120x < 5\\x^2-15x < \frac{5}{8} \\adding~(-\frac{15}{2} )^2\\(x-\frac{15}{2} )^2 < \frac{5}{8} +(-\frac{15}{2} )^2\\|x-\frac{15}{2} | < \frac{5+450}{8} \\-\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } < x-\frac{15}{2} < \sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\\frac{15}{2} -\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } < x < \frac{15}{2} +\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\but~x < 0\\7.5-\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } < x < 0$

Determine whether the following series converge or diverge

Mars2501 [29]

An alternating series $\sum\limits_n(-1)^na_n$ converges if $|(-1)^na_n|=|a_n|$ is monotonic and $a_n\to0$ as $n\to\infty$ . Here $a_n=\dfrac1{\ln(n+1)}$ .

Let $f(x)=\ln(x+1)$ . Then $f'(x)=\dfrac1{x+1}$ , which is positive for all $x>-1$ , so $\ln(x+1)$ is monotonically increasing for $x>-1$ . This would mean $\dfrac1{\ln(x+1)}$ must be a monotonically decreasing sequence over the same interval, and so must $a_n$ .

Because $a_n$ is monotonically increasing, but will still always be positive, it follows that $a_n\to0$ as $n\to\infty$ .

So, $\sum\limits_n(-1)^na_n$ converges.

What is 1/3 + 3/9 equals to

monitta

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 is the same as 3/9 (multiply 3 to both numerator and denominator) 3/9+3/9 is 6/9. 6/9 can be simplified by dividing 3 to both sides to get 2/3.

est scores for a statistics class had a mean of 79 with a standard deviation of 4.5. Test scores for a calculus class had a mean

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The z-score for the statistics test grade is of 1.11.

The z-score for the calculus test grade is 7.3.

Due to the higher z-score, the student performed better on the calculus test relative to the other students in each class

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

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.

In this question:

The grade with the higher z-score is better relative to the other students in each class.

Statistics:

Mean of 79 and standard deviation of 4.5, so $\mu = 79, \sigma = 4.5$
