Answer:

Number of rats : Food weight = 1 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of rats in the group = 9

Weight of food carried away by them = 45 kg

Ratio of the number of rats and food weight = \frac{\text{Number of rats}}{\text{Weight of food carried by the rats}}

                                                                          = \frac{9}{45}

                                                                          = \frac{1\times 9}{5\times 9}

                                                                          = \frac{1}{5}

Therefore, Number of rats : Food weight = 1 : 5

Describe the rule for the sequence 2, 1, 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 1/7,...
Triss [41]

Multiply 2 by 1/2 to get 1.

Multiply 1 by 2/3 to get 2/3.

Multiply 2/3 by 3/4 to get 6/12 = 1/2.

Multiply 1/2 by 4/5 to get 4/10 = 2/5.

Multiply 2/5 by 5/6 to get 10/30 = 1/3.

Multiply 1/3 by 6/7 to get 6/21 = 2/7. (I suspect there's a typo in the question.)

And so on, so that the <em>n</em>th term in the sequence is multiplied by <em>n</em>/(<em>n</em> + 1) to get the (<em>n</em> + 1)th term.

Recursively, the sequence is given by

\begin{cases}a_1=2\\a_n=\dfrac{n-1}na_{n-1}&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}

We can solve this exactly by iterating:

a_n=\dfrac{n-1}na_{n-1}=\dfrac{n-1}n\dfrac{n-2}na_{n-1}=\dfrac{n-1}n\dfrac{n-2}{n-1}\dfrac{n-3}{n-2}a_{n-3}=\cdots

and so on down to

a_n=\dfrac{(n-1)\cdot(n-2)\cdot(n-3)\cdot\cdots\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{n\cdot(n-1)\cdot(n-2)\cdot\cdots\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2}a_1

or

a_n=\dfrac{(n-1)!}{n!}a_1

and with lots of cancellation, we end up with

a_n=\dfrac{a_1}n=\boxed{\dfrac2n}

(Hypothetical.) Suppose five measurements of the volume of a liquid yield the following data (in milliliters).
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

(48.106 ; 53.494)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

X : 52 48 49 52 53

Sample mean = ΣX / n

n = 5

Sample mean, xbar = 254 / 5 = 50.8

Standard deviation, s = 2.17 (using calculator)

The standard error (SE) : s/√n =2.17/√5 = 0.970

The degree of freedom, df = n-1

df = 5 - 1 = 4

Tscore(0.05, 4) = 2.776

Confidence interval :

Xbar ± Tscore*standard error

50.8 ± (2.776 * 0.970)

50.8 ± 2.694

Lower boundary = 50.8 - 2.694 = 48.106

Upper boundary = 50.8 + 2.694 = 53.494

(48.106 ; 53.494)
