What is the y-intercept of the graph?

A sequence is defined by f(0) = -20, f(n) = f(n-1) - 5 forn > 1.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

1. Proved down

2. proved down

3. f(10) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us explain how to solve the question

∵ f(0) = -20, f(n) = f(n - 1) - 5 for n > 1

→ That means we have an arithmetic sequence with constant

difference -5 and first term -20

1. → f(1) means we need to find the second term, which equal the

term - 5

∵ f(1) means n = 1

∴ f(1) = f(1 - 1) - 5

∴ f(1) = f(0) - 5

∵ f(0) = -20

∴ f(1) = -20 - 5 → Proved

2. → f(3) means we need to find the third term, which equal the

second term - 5

∵ f(3) means n = 3

∴ f(3) = f(3 - 1) - 5

∴ f(3) = f(2) - 5

→ f(2) = f(1) - 5

∵ f(1) = -20 - 5

∴ f(2) = [-20 - 5] - 5 = -20 - 5 - 5

∴ f(3) = [-20 - 5 - 5] - 5

∴ f(3) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 → Proved

3. → From 1 and 2 we notice that the number of -5 is equal to n,

at n = 1 there is one (-5), when n= 3 there are three (-5)

∵ n = 10

∴ There are ten (-5)

∴ f(10) = -20 - 5(10)

∴ f(10) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 → Proved

Let z denote a random variable that has a standard normal distribution. Determine each of the probabilities below. (Round all an

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

(a) P (Z < 2.36) = 0.9909 (b) P (Z > 2.36) = 0.0091

(c) P (Z < -1.22) = 0.1112 (d) P (1.13 < Z > 3.35) = 0.1288

(e) P (-0.77< Z > -0.55) = 0.0705 (f) P (Z > 3) = 0.0014

(g) P (Z > -3.28) = 0.9995 (h) P (Z < 4.98) = 0.9999.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider a random variable, $X \sim N (\mu, \sigma^{2})$ , then $Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ , is a standard normal variate with mean, E (Z) = 0 and Var (Z) = 1. That is, $Z \sim N (0, 1)$ .

In statistics, a standardized score is the number of standard deviations an observation or data point is above the mean. The z-scores are standardized scores.

The distribution of these z-scores is known as the standard normal distribution.

(a)

Compute the value of P (Z < 2.36) as follows:

P (Z < 2.36) = 0.99086

≈ 0.9909

Thus, the value of P (Z < 2.36) is 0.9909.

(b)

Compute the value of P (Z > 2.36) as follows:

P (Z > 2.36) = 1 - P (Z < 2.36)

= 1 - 0.99086

= 0.00914

≈ 0.0091

Thus, the value of P (Z > 2.36) is 0.0091.

(c)

Compute the value of P (Z < -1.22) as follows:

P (Z < -1.22) = 0.11123

≈ 0.1112

Thus, the value of P (Z < -1.22) is 0.1112.

(d)

Compute the value of P (1.13 < Z > 3.35) as follows:

P (1.13 < Z > 3.35) = P (Z < 3.35) - P (Z < 1.13)

= 0.99960 - 0.87076

= 0.12884

≈ 0.1288

Thus, the value of P (1.13 < Z > 3.35) is 0.1288.

(e)

Compute the value of P (-0.77< Z > -0.55) as follows:

P (-0.77< Z > -0.55) = P (Z < -0.55) - P (Z < -0.77)

= 0.29116 - 0.22065

= 0.07051

≈ 0.0705

Thus, the value of P (-0.77< Z > -0.55) is 0.0705.

(f)

Compute the value of P (Z > 3) as follows:

P (Z > 3) = 1 - P (Z < 3)

= 1 - 0.99865

= 0.00135

≈ 0.0014

Thus, the value of P (Z > 3) is 0.0014.

(g)

Compute the value of P (Z > -3.28) as follows:

P (Z > -3.28) = P (Z < 3.28)

= 0.99948

≈ 0.9995

Thus, the value of P (Z > -3.28) is 0.9995.

(h)

Compute the value of P (Z < 4.98) as follows:

P (Z < 4.98) = 0.99999

≈ 0.9999

Thus, the value of P (Z < 4.98) is 0.9999.

A researcher wishes to estimate the proportion of adults who have high-speed Internet access. What size sample should be obtain

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:a-396

b-420

Step-by-step explanation:

$\alpha$ =0.1

Margin of Error=0.04

Level of significance is z $\left ( 0.1\right )=1.64$

Previous estimate $\left ( p\right ) =0.38$

sample size is given by:

n= $\left (\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}}{E}\right )p\left ( 1-p\right )$

n= $\frac{1.64}{0.04}^{2}0.38\left ( 1-0.38\right )=396.0436\approx 396$

$\left ( b\right )$ Does not use prior estimate

Assume

$\alpha$ =0.1

Margin of Error=0.04

Level of significance is z $\left ( 0.1\right )=1.64$

Population proportion $\left ( p\right )$ =0.5

n= $\left (\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}}{E}\right )p\left ( 1-p\right )$

n= $\frac{1.64}{0.04}^{2}0.5\left ( 1-0.5\right )$

n=420.25 $\approx 420$
