Find an explicit formula for the geometric sequence -40,-20,-10......

Answer:

The explicit formula for the geometric sequence is c(n) = -40\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{n-1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of geometric sequence, we should use the following expression:

c(n) = c_{1}\cdot r^{n-1}, n \ge 1 (1)

Where:

c_{1} - First term.

r - Geometric rate.

n - Position of the element within the series.

If we know that c_{1} = -40 and r = \frac{1}{2}, then the explicit formula for the geometric sequence is:

c(n) = -40\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{n-1}

The explicit formula for the geometric sequence is c(n) = -40\cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)^{n-1}.

A company manager for a tire manufacturer is in charge of making sure there is the least amount of defective tires. If the tire
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

0.347% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a standard normal distribution, (with mean 0 and standard deviation 1), the lower and upper quartiles are located at -0.67448 and +0.67448 respectively. Thus the interquartile range (IQR) is 1.34896.

And the manager decides to reject a tire as underweight if it falls more than 1.5 interquartile ranges below the lower quartile of the specified shipment of tires.

1.5 of the Interquartile range = 1.5 × 1.34896 = 2.02344

1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile = (lower quartile) - (1.5 of Interquartile range) = -0.67448 - 2.02344 = -2.69792

The proportion of tires that will fall 1.5 of the interquartile range below the lower quartile = P(x < -2.69792) ≈ P(x < -2.70)

Using data from the normal distribution table

P(x < -2.70) = 0.00347 = 0.347% of the total tires will be rejected as underweight

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

20, 31, 33, 35, 55, 57, 58, 59, 72, 73, 79, 86, 87, 88

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set is split by digit. So 2|0 becomes 20. 5|5 becomes 55. Using this method, the data set is

20, 31, 33, 35, 55, 57, 58, 59, 72, 73, 79, 86, 87, 88
