Alja [10]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

6, 2, 2/3, 2/9, 2/27, 2/81

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as;

Tn = ar^n-1

a is the first term

n is the number of terms

r is the common ratio

Given

a = 6

r = 1/3

when n = 1

T1 = 6(1/3)^1-1

T1 = 6(1/3)^0

T1 = 6

when n = 2

T2= 6(1/3)^2-1

T2= 6(1/3)^1

T2 = 2

when n = 3

T3 = 6(1/3)^3-1

T3= 6(1/3)^2

T3= 6 * 1/9

T3 = 2/3

when n = 4

T4 = 6(1/3)^4-1

T4= 6(1/3)^3

T4= 6 * 1/27

T4 = 2/9

when n = 5

T5 = 6(1/3)^5-1

T5= 6(1/3)^4

T5= 6 * 1/81

T5 = 2/27

when n = 6

T6 = 6(1/3)^6-1

T6= 6(1/3)^5

T6= 6 * 1/243

T6 = 2/81

Hence the first six terms are 6, 2, 2/3, 2/9, 2/27, 2/81

Which expression is equivalent to (2^3)^-5

Ostrovityanka [42]

Hi!

You didn't list the options, but I think I know the answer. Let me know if my answer isn't listed! :)

$(x^{3} )^{-5}$
We need to multiply the exponents.
3 · -5 = -15

The answer is $2^{-15}$

Hope this helps! :)

The proportion of students at a college who have GPA higher than 3.5 is 19%. a. You take repeated random samples of size 25 from

melomori [17]

Answer:

$\mu_{\hat{p}}=0.19$

$\sigma_{\hat{p}}=0.0785$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the mean and the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample proportions will be :-

$\mu_{\hat{p}}=p$

$\sigma_{\hat{p}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

, where p=population proportion and n= sample size.

Given : The proportion of students at a college who have GPA higher than 3.5 is 19%.

i.e. p= 19%=0.19

The for sample size n= 25

The mean and the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample proportions will be :-

$\mu_{\hat{p}}=0.19$

$\sigma_{\hat{p}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.19(1-0.19)}{25}}\\\\=\sqrt{0.006156}=0.0784601809837\approx0.0785$

Hence , the mean and the standard error of the sampling distribution of the sample proportions :

$\mu_{\hat{p}}=0.19$

$\sigma_{\hat{p}}=0.0785$
