Answer:

To rewrite your question, you are looking for the smallest    that fulfills the inequality:

∑=1>250

First, we must find the sequence    in explicit form. We can think of it as a line we are trying to get the slope-intercept form of. We have the points (1, 3) and (2, 8). Therefore, the slope is  8−32−1=51=5 . Now we just need the y-intercept. We can find it through substitution:

=5+

In order to solve for   , we can plug in one of the points that we were already given. I will choose the point (1, 3). Note that this point just means that when  =1 ,  =3 .

3=5(1)+

3=5+

=−2

Now for the original question.

∑=1(5−2)>250

((5(1)−2)+(5()−2)2)>250

(5+12)>250

522+12>250

2+15>100

2+15+1100>100+1100

(+110)2>100+1100

(+110)2>10001100

+110>±10001100‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√

+110>±11010001‾‾‾‾‾‾√

>−110±11010001‾‾‾‾‾‾√

Since we are looking for the smallest value, we will subtract for the plus or minus sign.

>−110−11010001‾‾‾‾‾‾√≈−10

Since that is negative, we will have to add instead.

>−110+11010001‾‾‾‾‾‾√≈9.9

Therefore, the smallest integer    that makes sense and satisfies the inequality is 10.

So, the first 10 numbers must be added.

Honestly, it would have been quicker just to brute-force this.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

0.8213

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a binomial probability problem given by the function:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Given that n=21 and p=0.2, the probability that she experience a delay on at least 3 days is calculated as:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}\\\\P(X\geq 3)=1-P(X

Hence, the probability that she experience delay on at least 3 days is 0.8213

Select strong association, weak association, or moderate association to correctly classify the correlation coefficient.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Answers:


0.45 is a moderate association

0.95 and -0.8 are both strong association

0.10 is weak association


Explanation:


This is the interpreation of the correltaion coefficient:

1) The correlaion coefficient assesses the relationship between two variables in a scatter plot.


2) If the sign of the correlation coefficient is positive means that the two variables trend to grow or decrease in the same sense. This is an uphill line or curve:  if variable X grows, variable Y grows, and if variable X decreases variable Y grows.

If the sign of the correlation coefficient is negative means that the two variables go in opposite direction. This is a downhill line or curve.


3) A correlation coefficient of +1 or -1 is a perfect association. The two variables are totally associated.


4) A correlation coefficient less that +1 but greater than 0.7 is a strong association. The same with a coefficite between - 0.7 and -1.


5) A correlation coefficient arroun +0.5 or -0.5 is a moderate association.


6) A correlation coefficient of 0 is a nill association.


7) A correlation coeffiicient between 0 and 0.3 is a weak association. The same when the correlation coefficient is between -3 and 0.
