Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term ( explicit formula ) of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₁₂ = - 95 and a₃₇ = - 270 , then

a₁ + 11d = - 95 → (1)

a₁ + 36d = - 270 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

25d = - 175 ( divide both sides by 25 )

d = - 7

Substitute d = - 7 into (1) and solve for a₁

a₁ + 11(- 7) = - 95

a₁ - 77 = - 95 ( add 77 to both sides )

a₁ = - 18 , thus

$a_{n}$ = - 18 - 7(n - 1) = - 18 - 7n + 7 = - 7n - 11

$a_{n}$ = - 7n - 11 ← explicit formula

--------------------------------------------------------------

The recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by adding the common difference d to the previous term, thus

$a_{n}$ = $a_{n-1}$ - 7 with a₁ = - 18 ← recursive formula

"determine the ratio of the volume of a" cone to the volume of a cylinder with the same height and base radius:

hichkok12 [17]

Volume of cone is 10
if the radius is r and height is h
while volume of cylinder is pi r 2nd power h,
volume of cone is 1/3 pi r 2nd power h.
hence with same r and h the volume of cone is one-third of that of cylinder and hence
volume of cone is 10.

A local agricultural cooperative claims that 55% of about 60,000 adults in a country believe that gardening should be part of th

insens350 [35]

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.0409 = 4.09% probability that, from a simple random sample of 300 adults in the county, less than 50% would say they believe that gardening should be part of the school curriculum.

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

It measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean.

After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X.

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sample proportions for a proportion p in a sample of size n has $\mu = p, s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}$

In this problem:

The proportion is of 55%, hence $p = 0.55$

The sample has 300 adults, hence $n = 300$

Then, the mean and the standard error are given by:

$\mu = p = 0.55$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.55(0.45)}{300}} = 0.0287$

The probability is the p-value of Z when X = 0.5, hence:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.5 - 0.55}{0.0287}$

$Z = -1.74$

$Z = -1.74$ has a p-value of 0.0409.

0.0409 = 4.09% probability that, from a simple random sample of 300 adults in the county, less than 50% would say they believe that gardening should be part of the school curriculum.
