Step-by-step explanation:

this sequence is geometric not arithmetic

HOw we know that ??

when we get a common difference that must Be equal

d=6-2=4 not equal to d=18-6=12

So it is not arithmetic

but when we get the common ratio that also must be equal

r=6/2=18/6=54/18=3 equal

So it is geometric

By using this equation:

a(n)=a(1)*r^(n-1)

and we have a(1)=2 , r=3

Explicit rule: a(n)=2*(3)^(n-1)

Recursive rule: a(n)= r * a(n-1)

a(n-1) ⇒ priviuse term

SO: a(n)= 3 * a(n-1)

For example:

a(3)= 3 * 6 =18

I really hope this helps <3

An electric sale gives a reading equal to the true weight plus a random error that isnormally distributed with mean 0 and standa

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a) 95% confidence interval estimate of the true weight is (3.026, 3.274)

b) 99% confidence interval estimate of the true weight is (2.944, 3.356)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval can be calculated using M±ME where

M is the mean of five successive weightings (3.150)

ME is the margin of error from the mean

And margin of error (ME) can be calculated using the formula

ME= $\frac{t*s}{\sqrt{N} }$ where

t is the corresponding statistic in the given confidence level and degrees of freedom(t-score)

s is the standard deviation of the random error (0.1)

N is the sample size (5)

Using the numbers 95% confidence interval estimate of the true weight is:

3.150± $\frac{2.776*0.1}{\sqrt{5} }$ ≈3.150±0.124

And 99% confidence interval estimate of the true weight is:

3.150± $\frac{4.604*0.1}{\sqrt{5} }$ ≈3.150±0.206

Can someone help me find the area of this circle and round to the nearest tenth

larisa [96]

the circle has a diameter of 12, thus its radius is half that, or 6.

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=6 \end{cases}\implies A=\pi 6^2\implies A=36\pi \\\\\\ A \approx 113.0973355\implies A=\stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{113.1}$

mezya [45]

Answer: 7 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Find least common denominator of 3 and 9, which is 9. So, 11 1/9 - 3 6/9 = 7 4/9
