162.50-35.00=127.50
127.50/12=10.63
10.63 feet of guttering were required

I need help writing the first 5 terms of the sequence!

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The first five terms of the sequence are 1, 4, 7, 10, 13.

Solution:

Given data:

$a_{1}=1$

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$

General term of the arithmetic sequence.

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+d$ , where d is the common difference.

d = 3

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$

Put n = 2 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{2}=a_1+3$

$a_{2}=1+3$

$a_2=4$

Put n = 3 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{3}=a_2+3$

$a_{3}=4+3$

$a_3=7$

Put n = 4 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{4}=a_3+3$

$a_{4}=7+3$

$a_4=10$

Put n = 5 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{5}=a_4+3$

$a_{5}=10+3$

$a_5=13$

The first five terms of the sequence are 1, 4, 7, 10, 13.

Assume that body masses of Goldfinch birds follow a normal distribution with standard deviation equal to 0.04 oz. An ornithologi

Answer:

The formula to generate 70% confidence interval is: $[\overline{x} - 0.013, \overline{x} + 0.013]$ , in which $\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.7}{2} = 0.15$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.15 = 0.85$ , so Z = 1.037.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Assume that body masses of Goldfinch birds follow a normal distribution with standard deviation equal to 0.04 oz.

This means that $\sigma = 0.04$ .

Sample of 10 birds:

This means that $n = 10$ .

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$M = 1.037\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{10}}$

$M = 0.013$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean of $\overline{x}$ subtracted by M.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean of $\overline{x}$ added to M.

Then, the formula to generate 70% confidence interval is: $[\overline{x} - 0.013, \overline{x} + 0.013]$ , in which $\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.
