Answer:

The theater has 32 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (a + l), where

  • a is the first term
  • l is the last term
  • n is the number of the terms

∵ The number of seats per row follows an arithmetic sequence

∵ The first row has 26 seats

∴ a = 26

∵ The last row has 150 seats

∴ l = 150

∵ The theater seats are 2,816

∴ S_{n} = 2,816

→ Substitute these values in the rule of the sum above to find n

∵ 2,816 = \frac{n}{2}(26 + 150)

∴ 2,816 = \frac{n}{2}(176)

∴ 2,816 = 88n

→ Divide both sides by 88

∴ 32 = n

∵ n represents the number of the rows

∴ The theater has 32 rows

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:  b) 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the prior estimate of the required proportion.

As per given , we have

p =0.5   (The probability of getting heads on a fair coin is 0.5)

Significance level : \alpha: 1-0.90=0.10\\

Critical z-value (using z-value table ) : z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

Confidence interval width : w= 0.18

Thus , the margin of error : E=\dfrac{w}{2}=0.09

Formula to find the sample size ( if prior estimate of proportion is known.):-

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2

Substitute the values , we get

n=0.5(1-0.5)(\dfrac{1.645}{0.09})^2

Simplify ,

n=83.5192901235\approx84  [Round of to the next whole number.]

Hence, the number of times we would have to flip the coin =<u>84</u>

hence, the correct answer is b) 84
