The value of the z statistic for the considered data is given by: Option A: -3.87 approximately.

<h3>How to find the z score (z statistic) for the sample mean?</h3>

If we're given that:

  • Sample mean = \overline{x}
  • Sample size = n
  • Population mean = \mu
  • Sample standard deviation = s

Then, we get:

z = \dfrac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}

If the sample standard deviation is not  given, then we can estimate it(in some cases) by:

s = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

where \sigmapopulation standard deviation

For this case, we're specified that:

  • Sample mean = \overline{x} = 2.3
  • Sample size = n = 15
  • Population mean = \mu  = 2.7
  • Population standard deviation = \sigma = 0.4

Thus, the value of the z-statistic is evaluated as:

z = \dfrac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{2.3- 2.7}{0.4/\sqrt{15}} \approx -3.87

Thus, the value of the z statistic for the considered data is given by: Option A: -3.87 approximately.

Explain how to solve -4(1.75 + x) =18
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

first change any decimal to a whole. -4(175+x)=18. Then times -4 by 175 and x, -700+ 4x =18. Then add +700 to -700 which equals just 4x ,then add +700 to 18, which is 4x = 718. then divide both sides by 4 and estimate. x= 180

Find the sum of the infinite series 1/3+4/9+16/27+64/81+.... if it exists.
pshichka [43]
9/27, 12/27, 16/27

So this is a geometric sequence as each term is 4/3 the previous term.

Since the common ration is greater than one the sum of the series diverges, it does not exist.  (The sum just keeps getting larger and larger)

For a geometric series to have a sum r^2<1

So that the normal sum....

s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r)   becomes if r^2<1

s=a/(1-r)
