In an arithmetic sequence, if a2= 5 and a10= 19 find a6

Mathematics

OLEGan [10]3 years ago

Answer:

a₆ = 12

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 a₂ = 5 and a₁₀ = 19 , then

a₁ + d = 5 → (1)

a₁ + 9d = 19 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

8d = 14 ( divide both sides by 8 )

d = 1.75

Substitute d = 1.75 into (1)

a₁ + 1.75 = 5 ( subtract 1.75 from both sides )

a₁ = 3.25

Then

a₆ = 3.25 + 5(1.75) = 3.25 + 8.75 = 12

baherus [9]

Answer:

There is a 25.52% probability of observating 4 our fewer succesful recommendations.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each recommendation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it was a success, or it was a failure. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

p = 0.553, n = 10

If the claim is correct and the performance of recommendations is independent, what is the probability that you would have observed 4 or fewer successful:

This is

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.553)^{0}.(0.447)^{10} = 0.0003

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.553)^{1}.(0.447)^{9} = 0.0039

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.553)^{2}.(0.447)^{8} = 0.0219

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.553)^{3}.(0.447)^{7} = 0.0724

P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.553)^{4}.(0.447)^{6} = 0.1567

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0003 + 0.0039 + 0.0219 + 0.0724 + 0.1567 = 0.2552

There is a 25.52% probability of observating 4 our fewer succesful recommendations.

Interpret the following sine regression model.
natita [175]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, so I will describe the sine regression model.

The function

y = 0.884 sin(0.245x - 1.093) + 0.400

correspond to the general equation:

y = a sin(bx - c) + d

where:

a = 0.884

b = 0.245

c = 1.093

d = 0.400

The amplitude of the function is computed as follows:

amplitude = |a| = 0.884

The period of the function is computed as follows:

period = 2π/|b| = 25.6456

The phase shift of the function is computed as follows:

phase shift = c/b = 4.4612 to the right (because there is a minus sign before c in the equation)

The vertical shift of the function is computed as follows:

vertical shift = d = 0.400
