Answer:

  -1701

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursion relation tells you each term of the sequence is -3 times the previous term. Then the first 6 terms are ...

  7, -21, 63, -189, 567, -1701

The value of f(6) is -1701.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence with first term 7 and common ratio -3 is ...

  f(n) = 7×(-3)^(n-1)

Then f(6) is ...

  f(6) = 7×(-3)^5 = 7×(-243) = -1701

Use the confidence level and sample data to find a confidence interval
stepan [7]

Answer:

The confidence interval at at 99% level of confidence is <em>93.7 ≤ μ ≤ 96.9</em>.<em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

We must first determine the z-value at a confidence level of 99%.

Therefore,

99% = 100%(1 - 0.01)

Thus,

α = 0.01

Therefore, the z-value will be

z_(α/2) = z_(0.01/2) = z_0.005 = 2.58

(The z-value is read-off from the z table from the standard normal probabilities.)

Step 2:

We can now write the confidence interval:

X - z_(α/2) [s/√(n)] ≤ μ ≤ X + z_(α/2) [s/√(n)]

95.3 - 2.58(6.5/√(104))  ≤ μ ≤  95.3 + 2.58(6.5/√(104))

       <em>93.7 ≤ μ ≤ 96.9</em>

Therefore, confidence interval is <em>93.7 ≤ μ ≤ 96.9 </em>which means that we are 99% confident that the true mean population lies is at least 93.7  and at  most 96.9.

Suppose a NBA basketball player has 5% chance of picking up a foul every minute he plays. What is the probability that he will p
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

He wont foul out with probability 0.9093

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of fools he picked is a Binomial ditribution noted by X with parameters p = 0.05 and N = 48. The mean of this random variable is μ = np = 48*0.05 = 2.4 and the variance is σ² = np(1-p) = 2.4*0.95 = 2.28, hence its standard deviation is σ = √2.28 = 1.51.

Note that, if approximate probability is asked, we could just approximate X with a Normal random variable with mean 2.4 and standard deviation 1.51 (this can be done because of the central limit theorem). We will calculate the probability manually. He wont foul out if he picks 0,1,2,3 or 4 fouls, thus

P(X \leq 4) = P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4) \\= 0.95^{48}+48*0.95^{47}*0.05+{48 \choose 2}*0.95^{46}*0.05^2+\\{48 \choose 3}*0.95^{45}*0.05^3+{48 \choose 4}*0.95^{44}*0.05^4 \\= 0.085+0.215+0.266+0.215+0.127 = 0.9093

As a consecuence, he wont foul out with probability 0.9093.

Calculate the percent decrease 34,000 2,720
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Take 2,720/34,000=.0806. This means that 2,720 is 8.06% of the original number. In order to find the percentage of decrease, you take 100%-8.06%, which equals 91.94%. Your answer is 91.94%.
