Evaluate each finite series for the specified number of terms. 1+2+4+...;n=5

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

The series are given as geometric series because these terms have common ratio and not common difference.

Our common ratio is 2 because:

1*2 = 2

2*2 = 4

The summation formula for geometric series (r ≠ 1) is:

\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}} or \displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}

You may use either one of these formulas but I’ll use the first formula.

We are also given that n = 5, meaning we are adding up 5 terms in the series, substitute n = 5 in along with r = 2 and first term = 1.

\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{1(2^5-1)}{2-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=\frac{2^5-1}{1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=2^5-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=32-1}\\\displaystyle \large{S_5=31}

Therefore, the solution is 31.

Summary

If the sequence has common ratio then the sequence or series is classified as geometric sequence/series.

Common Ratio can be found by either multiplying terms with common ratio to get the exact next sequence which can be expressed as \displaystyle \large{a_{n-1} \cdot r = a_n} meaning “previous term times ratio = next term” or you can also get the next term to divide with previous term which can be expressed as:

\displaystyle \large{r=\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}}

Once knowing which sequence or series is it, apply an appropriate formula for the series. For geometric series, apply the following three formulas:

\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(r^n-1)}{r-1}}\\\displaystyle \large{S_n=\frac{a_1(1-r^n)}{1-r}}

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio not equal to 1.

\displaystyle \large{S_n=a_1 \cdot n}

Above should be applied for series that have common ratio exactly equal to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

V = πr²h

V = 3.14 x 5² x 3

V = 3.14 x 25 x 3

V = 3.14 x 75

A warehouse distributor of carpet keeps 6,000 yards of deluxe shag carpet in stock during a month. The average demand for carpet
Bond [772]

Answer:

The probability that a customer’s order will not be met during a month is 1.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A warehouse distributor of carpet keeps 6,000 yards of deluxe shag carpet in stock during a month. The average demand for carpet from the stores that purchase from the distributor is 4,500 yards per month, with a standard deviation of 900 yards.

To find : What is the probability that a customer’s order will not be met during a month?

Solution :

Average Mean \mu=4500

Sample Mean x=6000

Standard deviation \sigma=900

The formula is given by,

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Substitute the value in the formula,

Z=\frac{6000-4500}{900}

Z=\frac{1500}{900}

Z=1.67

The probability that a customer’s order will not be met during a month is 1.67.
