Answer:

a(n) = -3 - 2(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The most general formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence (such as this sequence is) is

a(n) = a(1) + c(n-1), where c is the common difference.

Here a(1) = -3 and c = -2.

Thus,

a(n) = -3 - 2(n-1).

Please help finding the remaining roots

shusha [124]

Answer:

x = 3, x = - $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 2 is a root then (x - 2) is a factor

2x³ - 3x² - 23x + 42 ÷ (x - 2)

= (x - 2)(2x² + x - 21)

solve 2x² + x - 21 = 0 for remaining roots

(2x + 7)(x - 3) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

2x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = - $\frac{7}{2}$

Assume that the heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 70.270.2 inches and a standard deviation of 2.12.1 inches

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(70.2,2.12)$

Where $\mu=70.2$ and $\sigma=2.12$

Since the disgtribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

We can find the probability of interest we got:

$P(\bar X >71.2)=P(Z>\frac{71.2-70.2}{\frac{2.12}{\sqrt{36}}}=2.83)$

And using the complement rule and a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we got this:

$P(Z>2.83)=1-P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(70.2,2.12)$

Where $\mu=70.2$ and $\sigma=2.12$

Since the disgtribution for X is normal then the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

We can find the probability of interest we got:

$P(\bar X >71.2)=P(Z>\frac{71.2-70.2}{\frac{2.12}{\sqrt{36}}}=2.83)$

And using the complement rule and a calculator, excel or the normal standard table we got this:

$P(Z>2.83)=1-P(Z$
