<h2><u>Answer with explanation</u>:</h2>
Let be the population mean.
As per given , we have
Since the alternative hypothesis is right-tailed , so the test is a right-tailed test.
Also, population standard deviation is given , so we perform one-tailed z-test.
Test statistic :
, where = Population mean
= Population standard deviation
n= sample size
= Sample mean
For n= 18 , ,
,
, we have
P-value (for right tailed test): P(z>2.12) = 1-P(z≤ 2.12) [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z≤z)]\
=1- 0.0340=0.9660
Decision : Since P-value(0.9660) > Significance level (0.01), it means we are failed to reject the null hypothesis.
[We reject null hypothesis if p-value is larger than the significance level . ]
Conclusion : We do not have sufficient evidence to show that the goal is not being met at α = .01 .
Given:
First term of an arithmetic sequence = 5
Second term = 3
To find:
The explicit formula for the given arithmetic sequence.
Solution:
We have,
First term:
Second term:
Common difference is
Now, the explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is
where, a is first term and d is common difference.
Putting a=5 and d=-2, we get
It can also be written as
Here, n is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
Domain is the set of input values.
Therefore, the explicit equation is or
and domain is all interest greater than or equal to 1.
