The sequence is, in fact, quadratic. It is described by the equation
.. a[n] = (n*(n -1))/2 +2

First differences are increasing, so the sequence will not be arithmetic. An arithmetic sequence has constant first differences.

Second differences are constant, so the sequence will not be geometric. A geometric sequence will have first-, second-, third-differences, and those to any level, that have the same constant ratio as the terms of the original sequence.

Two ships leave a harbor together, traveling on courses that have an angle of 135°40' between them. If they each travel 402 mile
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Therefore they are 734.106 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ,

Two ships have a harbor together. The angle between two ships  is  135°40'. Each of two ships travel 402 miles.

It forms a isosceles triangle whose two sides are 402 miles and one angle is 135°40'. Since it is isosceles triangle then other two angles of the triangle is equal.

Let ∠B= 135°40', and AB = 402 miles , BC =  402 miles

Then the distance between the ships = AC

We know

The sum of all angles = 180°

⇒∠A+∠B+∠C=180°

⇒∠A+135°40'+∠C=180°

⇒2∠A= 180°- 135°40'      [ since ∠A=∠C]

⇒2∠A=44°60'

⇒∠A= 22°30'

Again we know that,

\frac{AB}{sin\angle C}=\frac{BC}{sin \angle A}=\frac{AC}{sin \angle B}

Taking last two ratio,

\frac{BC}{sin \angle A}=\frac{AC}{sin \angle B}

Putting the value of BC , AC ,∠A,∠B

\frac{402}{sin 22^\circ30'}=\frac{AC}{sin 135^\circ40'}

\Rightarrow AC=\frac{402 \times sin135^\circ40'}{sin 22^\circ30'}

         ≈734.106 miles

Therefore they are 734.106 miles apart.

A food processor packages orange juice in small jars. The weights of the filled jars are approximately normally distributed with
Ratling [72]

Answer:

P(X>10.983)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{10.983-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{10.983-10.5}{0.3})=P(z>1.61)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:

P(z>1.61)=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 weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(10.5,0.3)  

Where \mu=10.5 and \sigma=0.3

We are interested on this probability

P(X>10.983)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>10.983)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{10.983-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{10.983-10.5}{0.3})=P(z>1.61)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:

P(z>1.61)=1-P(z
