Answer:

a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a  - \frac{2a}{5}  = 3 \\ 5a - 2a = 15 \\ 3a = 15 \\ a = 5

We multiply both sides by 5 before solving for a.

Statisticians use ______ scores to divide the ______ under a curve the way people use a knife to cut pizza. Just as the pizza is
solong [7]

Answer:

Statisticians use z-scores to divide the area under a curve the way people use a knife to cut pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statisticians use z-scores to divide the area under a curve the way people use a knife to cut pizza.

z-score:

  • A z-score is a numerical measurement which is measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean.
  • Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

  • If a z-score is 0, it tells that the data point is same as the mean.
  • Area under the normal curve is 1.

What is the nth term of the sequence -2 -8 -18 -32 -50
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

-2n²

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the image attached:
We see that the second differences (blue ones) are all equal so we conclude that this is a quadratic sequence.
The quadratic sequence has the form:
T_{n} = an^{2}  +bn +c

To find the value of a we just divide second difference ( -4 ) by 2:

  • a = \frac{-4}{2}= -2

Now we have:

  • T_{n}= -2n^{2}  +bn+c

Substitute n_{1} and n_{2} into the equation above:

  • T_{1} = -2(1)^{2}  +b(1) +c
  • T_{2} = -2(2)^{2}  +b(2)+c

Since T_{1} = -2 and T_{2} = -8 , after simplification we have:

  • b +c =0
  • 2b+c=0

The solution of this system is:

  • b=0, c =0

The general term is :

T_{n} = -2n^{2}
