Answer:

$294

Step-by-step explanation:

Garden table = x

bench = x-91

x + (x-91) = 659

2x = 750

x= 375

375 - 91 = 284

Okay lets say that the bench is B
B + B-91 = 659
2B -91 = 659
Add 91 to both sides of the equation to isolate the 2B
2B - 91 + 91 = 659 + 91
2B = 750
Divide both sides by 2 to get 1B
2B ÷ 2 = 750 ÷ 2
B is 375
Therefore the bench was $375 and the garden table was $284.

Round to the nearest hundredth (Geometric Series problem)

Answer:

15.98

Step-by-step explanation:

∑₁¹⁰ $8(\frac{1}{4} )^{n-1}$

$=8[1+\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{16} + ........ +t_{10}]$

We have to use the formula of sum of a G.P. series with common ratio r < 1.

If the first term is a, the common ratio is r and the number of terms is n then the sum [a + ar + ar² + ar³ + ......... up to n terms] is given by

$[a \times\frac{1-r^{n} }{1-r}]$

$= 8[1 \times \frac{1-\frac{1}{2^{10} } }{1-\frac{1}{2} } ]$

$= 15.98$ (Answer)

Answer:

$Lower = 231.134- 3.098=228.036$

$Upper = 231.134+ 3.098=234.232$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n=5 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

And for this case we know that the 95% confidence interval is given by:

$\bar X=\frac{233.002 +229.266}{2}= 231.134$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME = \frac{233.002 -229.266}{2}= 1.868$

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME= t_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df = n-1 = 5-1=4$

And the critical value for 95% of confidence is $t_{\alpha/2}= 2.776$

So then we can find the deviation like this:

$s = \frac{ME \sqrt{n}}{t_{\alpha/2}}$

$s = \frac{1.868* \sqrt{5}}{2.776}= 1.506$

And for the 99% confidence the critical value is: $t_{\alpha/2}= 4.604$

And the margin of error would be:

$ME = 4.604 *\frac{1.506}{\sqrt{5}}= 3.098$

And the interval is given by:

$Lower = 231.134- 3.098=228.036$

$Upper = 231.134+ 3.098=234.232$
