Answer:

d = $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₉ = 16 , then

- 12 + 8d = 16 ( add 12 to both sides )

8d = 28 ( divide both sides by 8 )

d = $\frac{28}{8}$ = $\frac{7}{2}$

Evaluate: 36^(-3/2)

Sveta_85 [38]

Evaluating 36^(-3/2) utilizes the laws of exponents. Raising a number by a negative exponent is raising the reciprocal of the number by the exponent: 36^(-3/2) = (1/36)^(3/2).

We could separate 3/2 into 3/2 = 1/2 * 3, and further simplify the expression

= ((1/36)^(1/2))^3= (1/6)^3= 1/216

In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal dist

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a. 0.7291

b. 0.9968

c. 0.7259

Step-by-step explanation:

a. np and n(1-p) can be calculated as:

$np=23\times 0.48\\\\=11.04\\\\n(1-p)=23(1-0.52)\\\\=11.96$

#Both np and np(1-p) are greater than 5, hence, normal approximation is most appropriate:

$\mu_x=11.04\\\\\sigma^2=np(1-p)=0.48\times 0.52\times 23=5.7408$

#Define Y:

Y~(11.04,5.7408)

$P(X\leq 12)\approx P(Y\leq 12.5)\\\\P(Z\leq \frac{(12.5-11.04)}{\sqrt{5.7408}})=\\\\=1-0.2709\\\\=0.7291$

Hence, the probability of 12 or fewer is 0.8291

b. The probability that 5 or more fish were caught.

#Using normal approximation:

$P(X \geq 5) \approx P(Y \geq 4.5) = P(Z \geq\frac{ (4.5-11.04)}{\sqrt{(5.7408)}})\\\\=1-0.0032\\\\=0.9968$

Hence, the probability of catching 5+ is 0.9968

c. The probability of between 5 and 12 is calculated as;

-From b above $P(X\geq 5)=0.9968$ and a , $P(X\leq 12)$ =0.7291

$P(5\leq X\leq 120\approx P(4.5\leq Y\leq 12.5)\\\\=0.7291-(1-0.9968)\\\\=0.7259$

Hence, the probability of between 5 and 12 is 0.7259

What is the least value of x which the inequality is true? 16 is greater than or equal to -2x

tia_tia [17]

Answer:Then the system of inequalities that represents the graph is second option:

2x +y is less than or equal to 3, and y-x is greater than or equal to 2

Step-by-step explanation: The area shaded is below the blue line and above the red line.

1.) The blue line goes through the points:

P1=(0,3)=(x1,y1)→x1=0, y1=3

P2=(1,1)=(x2,y2)→x2=1, y2=1

Slope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-3)/(1-0)→m=(-2)/(1)→m=-2

Point-slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-3=-2(x-0)→y-3=-2(x)→y-3=-2x→y-3+3=-2x+3→y=-2x+3

The area below the blue line is:

y<=-2x+3→y+2x<=-2x+3→2x+y<=3

2x +y is less than or equal to 3

2.) The red line goes through the points:

P1=(0,2)=(x1,y1)→x1=0, y1=2

P2=(-2,0)=(x2,y2)→x2=-2, y2=0

Slope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(0-2)/(-2-0)→m=(-2)/(-2)→m=1

Point-slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-2=1(x-0)→y-2=1(x)→y-2=x→y-2+2=x+2→y=x+2

The area above the red line is:

y>=x+2→y-x>=x+2-x→y-x>=2

y-x is greater than or equal to 2

Then the system of inequalities that represents the graph is:

2x +y is less than or equal to 3, and y-x is greater than or equal to 2
