Answer: C 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x2=8 16-8=8
8/16 simplified = 1/2
<h3>
Answer: n^2 + 1</h3>
Explanation:
Imagine that you cross out the top-most square for each step of each diagram. The squares not crossed out have the following counts: 1, 4, 9
This is the sequence of perfect squares. So the rule will have us take the number n, and square it to get n^2. Then we add on the squares we crossed out earlier. This explains the "plus 1" at the end to get the answer of n^2+1
Explicit rule:
a(n)=(2/5)(5^(n-1))
For a recursive rule, we need to express a(n) in terms of a(n-1), which we can obtain from the explicit rule
a(n)=(2/5)(5^(n-1))
substitute n-1 for n above
a(n-1)=(2/5)(5^((n-1)-1))
=(2/5)(5^n-2)
Divide:
a(n)/a(n-1)=(2/5)(5^(n-1)) / ((2/5)(5^(n-2)))
=1/5^(-1)
=5
Therefore, multiplying both sides by a(n-1)
a(n)=5 a(n-1)
a(1)=(2/5)(5^(1-1))=2/5
So the recursive rule is
a(1)=2/5, a(n)=5 a(n-1)
Answer:
The probability that x is less than 9.7 is 0.0069 = 0.69%
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean 
and standard deviation 
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
The probability that x is less than 9.7 is _____.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 9.7. So
has a pvalue of 0.0069
The probability that x is less than 9.7 is 0.0069 = 0.69%
Answer: b = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We want a ratio of b/2 that is equal to the ratio of 1/4 to 1 1/4 (or 5/4).
Ratio of (1/4)/(5/4):
(1/4)/(5/4) = (1/4)*(4/5) = 4/20 = 1/5 or 0.2
We want 2/b = 1/5 or 0.20
2/b = 0.20
b = 2/0.20
b = 10

Check: Does 10/2 = (1/4)/(5/4)?
Yes
b is 10
