Let
where we assume |r| < 1. Multiplying on both sides by r gives
and subtracting this from 
gives
As n → ∞, the exponential term will converge to 0, and the partial sums will converge to
Now, we're given
We must have |r| < 1 since both sums converge, so
Solving for r by substitution, we have
Recalling the difference of squares identity, we have
We've already confirmed r ≠ 1, so we can simplify this to
It follows that
and so the sum we want is
which doesn't appear to be either of the given answer choices. Are you sure there isn't a typo somewhere?
Answer:
a) P(Y > 76) = 0.0122
b) i) P(both of them will be more than 76 inches tall) = 0.00015
ii) P(Y > 76) = 0.0007
Step-by-step explanation:
Given - The heights of men in a certain population follow a normal distribution with mean 69.7 inches and standard deviation 2.8 inches.
To find - (a) If a man is chosen at random from the population, find
the probability that he will be more than 76 inches tall.
(b) If two men are chosen at random from the population, find
the probability that
(i) both of them will be more than 76 inches tall;
(ii) their mean height will be more than 76 inches.
Proof -
a)
P(Y > 76) = P(Y - mean > 76 - mean)
= P( 
) > 
)
= P(Z > )
= P(Z > 
)
= P(Z > 2.25)
= 1 - P(Z ≤ 2.25)
= 0.0122
⇒P(Y > 76) = 0.0122
b)
(i)
P(both of them will be more than 76 inches tall) = (0.0122)²
= 0.00015
⇒P(both of them will be more than 76 inches tall) = 0.00015
(ii)
Given that,
Mean = 69.7,
= 1.979899,
Now,
P(Y > 76) = P(Y - mean > 76 - mean)
= P( 
)) > 
)
= P(Z > )
= P(Z > 
))
= P(Z > 3.182)
= 1 - P(Z ≤ 3.182)
= 0.0007
⇒P(Y > 76) = 0.0007
Answer:
One unit to the right.
Step-by-step explanation:
I entered both equations into desmos and rootx - 1 is one unit to the right.
Desmos is a great tool for graphing
-1.75, negative numbers go on the left of the negative sign going up (down) and since -1.75 is actually a greater number our answer is -1.75
(-x^2+4)
x^2y^3-2y^3-2x^2+4=x^2-2x^2+4=
