Bella works at the grocery store and has 453 oranges to fit into 17 boxes. She fills all of the boxes with exactly the same numb

er of oranges and sends the leftover oranges to the soup kitchen at the local community shelter. How many oranges fit into each box, and how many are going to the community shelter?
How will you solve it?

Answer:

For the sequence is $-\frac{2}{3}$ ,-4 ,-24 ,-144 ,...

Hence the formula $f(x)=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,... represents the given geometric sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is $-\frac{2}{3}$ ,-4 ,-24 ,-144 ,...

To find the formula to describe the given sequence :

Let $a_1=\frac{-2}{3}$ , $a_2=-4$ , $a_3=-24$ ,...

First find the common ratio

$r=\frac{a_2}{a_1}$ here $a_1=\frac{-2}{3}$ and, $a_2=-4$

$=\frac{-4}{\frac{-2}{3}}$

$=\frac{4\times 3}{2}$

$=\frac{12}{2}$

$r=6$

$r=\frac{a_3}{a_2}$ here $a_2=-4$ and $a_3=-24$

$=\frac{-24}{-4}$

$=6$

$r=6$

Therefore the common ratio is 6

Therefore the given sequence is geometric sequence

The nth term of the geometric sequence is

$a_n=a_1r^{n-1}$

The formula which describes the given geometric sequence is

$f(x)=a_1r^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,...

$=\frac{-2}{3}6^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,...

Now verify that $f(x)=a_1r^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,... represents the given geometric sequence or not

put x=1 and the value of $a_1$ in $f(x)=a_1r^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,...

we get $f(1)=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^{1-1}$

$=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^0$

$=-\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore $f(1)=-\frac{2}{3}$

put x=2 we get $f(2)=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^{2-1}$

$=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^1$

$=-\frac{12}{3}$

Therefore $f(2)=-4$

put x=3 we get $f(3)=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^{3-1}$

$=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^2$

$=-\frac{2(36)}{3}$

Therefore $f(3)=-24$

Therefore the sequence is f(1),f(2),f(3),...

Therefore the sequence is $-\frac{2}{3}$ ,-4 ,-24 ,-144 ,...

Hence the formula $f(x)=a_1r^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,... represents the given geometric sequence is verified

Therefore the formula $f(x)=-\frac{2}{3}(6)^{x-1}$ for x=1,2,3,... represents the given geometric sequence

"is it appropriate to use the normal approximation for the sampling distribution of"

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: Normal approximation can be used for discrete sampling distributions, such as Binomial distribution and Poisson distribution if certain conditions are met.

Step-by-step explanation: We will give conditions under which the Binomial and Poisson distribitions, which are discrete, can be approximated by the Normal distribution. This procedure is called normal approximation.

1. Binomial distribution: Let the sampling distribution be the binomial distribution $B(n,p)$ , where $n$ is the number of trials and $p$ is the probability of success. It can be approximated by the Normal distribution with the mean of $np$ and the variance of $np(1-p)$ , denoted by $N(np,np(1-p))$ if the following condition is met:

$n>9\left(\frac{1-p}{p}\right)\text{ and } n>9\left(\frac{p}{1-p}\right)$

2. Poisson distribution: Let the sampling distribution be the Poisson distribution $P(\lambda)$ where $\lambda$ is its mean. It can be approximated by the Normal distribution with the mean $\lambda$ and the variance $\lambda$ , denoted by $N(\lambda,\lambda)$ when $\lambda$ is large enough, say $\lambda>1000$ (however, different sources may give different lower value for $\lambda$ but the greater it is, the better the approximation).
