All three series converge, so the answer is D.
The common ratios for each sequence are (I) -1/9, (II) -1/10, and (III) -1/3.
Consider a geometric sequence with the first term <em>a</em> and common ratio |<em>r</em>| < 1. Then the <em>n</em>-th partial sum (the sum of the first <em>n</em> terms) of the sequence is
Multiply both sides by <em>r</em> :
Subtract the latter sum from the first, which eliminates all but the first and last terms:
Solve for :
Then as gets arbitrarily large, the term will converge to 0, leaving us with
So the given series converge to
(I) -243/(1 + 1/9) = -2187/10
(II) -1.1/(1 + 1/10) = -1
(III) 27/(1 + 1/3) = 18
Answer:
The 95% confidence interval for the average monthly electricity consumed units is between 47.07 and 733.87
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample. So we use the t-distribution to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 45 - 1 = 44
95% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 44 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of . So we have T = 2.0141
The margin of error is:
M = T*s = 2.0141*170.5 = 343.4
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 390.47 - 343.40 = 47.07 units per month
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 390.47 + 343.40 = 733.87 units per month
The 95% confidence interval for the average monthly electricity consumed units is between 47.07 and 733.87
