Answer:
C. The 6th term is positive/negative 80
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Geometric Progression
Required
To get the 6th term of the progression, first we need to solve for the first term and the common ratio of the progression;
To solve the common ratio;
Divide the 7th term by the 5th term; This gives
Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by 40
----- equation 1
Recall that the formula of a GP is
Where n is the nth term
So,
Substitute the above expression in equation 1
becomes
Square root both sides
r = ±
Next, is to solve for the first term;
Using
By substituting 160 for T5 and ± for r;
We get
Multiply through by 16
Now, we can easily solve for the 6th term
Recall that the formula of a GP is
Here, n = 6;
r = ±
So,
or
or
or
±80
Hence, the 6th term is positive/negative 80
Answer:
190
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Confidence level = 99%
Therefore,
α = 1% = 0.01
[ from standard normal table ]
z-value for = 2.58
Margin of error, E = $0.06
Standard deviation, σ = $0.32
Now,
n =
Here,
n is the sample size (or the minimum number of gas stations )
on substituting the respective values, we get
=
=
= 13.76²
= 189.3376 ≈ 190
Hence,
minimum number of gas stations that she should include in her sample is 190
