Answer:
-2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Rise over run! The slope rises twice and goes over 3 times. The slope is negative so put a negative sign behind it.
The answer is 1/3 because of rise over run
Sequence: 5/2, 5/4, 5/8, 5/16
a8=?
a1=5/2
a2=5/4
a3=5/8
a4=5/16
a2/a1=(5/4)/(5/2)=(5/4)*(2/5)=(5*2)/(4*5)=2/4=1/2
a3/a2=(5/8)/(5/4)=(5/8)*(4/5)=(5*4)/(8*5)=4/8=1/2
a4/a3=(5/16)/(5/8)=(5/16)*(8/5)=(5*8)/(16*5)=8/16=1/2
Ratio: r=a2/a1=a3/a2=a4/a3→r=1/2
an=a1*r^(n-1)
a1=5/2, r=1/2
an=(5/2)*(1/2)^(n-1)
an=(5/2)*[1^(n-1)/2^(n-1)]
an=(5/2)*[1/2^(n-1)]
an=(5*1)/[2*2^(n-1)]
an=5/2^(1+n-1)
an=5/2^n
n=8→a8=5/2^8
a8=5/256
Answers:
The formula for the general term or nth term for the sequence is an=5/2^n
a8=5/256
Answer:
15000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a professor wants to know how undergraduate students at X University feel about food services on campus, in general. She obtains a list of email addresses of all 15,000 registered undergraduates from the registrar’s office and mails a questionnaire to 300 students selected at random.
Only 150 questionnaires are returned.
So the sample size changed to 150. But population is the number of registered undergraduates which do not change.
Population size = 15000
