Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

the first sequence starts

4 12 (3*4) 36 (3*12) 108 (3*36) ...

the second sequence starts

20 28 (8+20) 36 (8+28) 44 (8+36) ...

so, just by writing down a few elements you can see it already.

I knew it already before that just by thinking "the first sequence has only numbers that can be divided by 3. what is the first number of the second sequence that can be also divided by 3 ? oh, yeah, 36 !"

A 78 gram sample of Uranium loses half of its mass each year. What is the exponential equation? Please explain why A is the corr
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The first answer is correct because we have a decay factor.

The sample is losing mass, so the number that is being multiplied by a power of x must be less than 1.

If the second answer were used, then the sample would be gaining mass.

A sample size 25 is picked up at random from a population which is normally
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a) P(X < 99) = 0.2033.

b) P(98 < X < 100) = 0.4525

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

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

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

The Z-score 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. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 100 and variance of 36.

This means that \mu = 100, \sigma = \sqrt{36} = 6

Sample of 25:

This means that n = 25, s = \frac{6}{\sqrt{25}} = 1.2

(a) P(X<99)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 99. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{99 - 100}{1.2}

Z = -0.83

Z = -0.83 has a pvalue of 0.2033. So

P(X < 99) = 0.2033.

b) P(98 < X < 100)

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 100 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 98. So

X = 100

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

Z = \frac{100 - 100}{1.2}

Z = 0

Z = 0 has a pvalue of 0.5

X = 98

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

Z = \frac{98 - 100}{1.2}

Z = -1.67

Z = -1.67 has a pvalue of 0.0475

0.5 - 0.0475 = 0.4525

So

P(98 < X < 100) = 0.4525

How would I find a? What formula would I use?
xenn [34]

Answer:

  You can use either of the following to find "a":

  • Pythagorean theorem
  • Law of Cosines

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like you have an isosceles trapezoid with one base 12.6 ft and a height of 15 ft.

I find it reasonably convenient to find the length of x using the sine of the 70° angle:

  x = (15 ft)/sin(70°)

  x ≈ 15.96 ft

That is not what you asked, but this value is sufficiently different from what is marked on your diagram, that I thought it might be helpful.

__

Consider the diagram below. The relation between DE and AE can be written as ...

  DE/AE = tan(70°)

  AE = DE/tan(70°) = DE·tan(20°)

  AE = 15·tan(20°) ≈ 5.459554

Then the length EC is ...

  EC = AC - AE

  EC = 6.3 - DE·tan(20°) ≈ 0.840446

Now, we can find DC using the Pythagorean theorem:

  DC² = DE² + EC²

  DC = √(15² +0.840446²) ≈ 15.023527

  a ≈ 15.02 ft

_____

You can also make use of the Law of Cosines and the lengths x=AD and AC to find "a". (Do not round intermediate values from calculations.)

  DC² = AD² + AC² - 2·AD·AC·cos(A)

  a² = x² +6.3² -2·6.3x·cos(70°) ≈ 225.70635

  a = √225.70635 ≈ 15.0235 . . . feet
