the 11th term of an arithmetic sequence is 57 and the sum of the first and fourth term is 29. determine the first three terms of the sequence, the formular of nth term​

Answers

Answer 1

Let a (n) denote the n-th term of the sequence. Since the terms form an arithmetic sequence, you have

a (n) = a (n - 1) + d

for some fixed constant d. You can write any term in the sequence as a function of the first term:

a (n) = [a (n - 2) + d] + d = a (n - 2) + 2d

a (n) = [a (n - 3) + d] + 2d = a (n - 3) + 3d

and so on, down to

a (n) = a (1) + (n - 1) d

so given that a (11) = 57 (so that n = 11), you have

a (1) + 10d = 57 … … … [1]

The sum of the first and fourth terms is 29:

a (1) + a (4) = 29

but we can write a (4) in terms of a (1) :

a (1) + [a (1) + 3d] = 29

which gives us another equation in a (1) and d :

2 a (1) + 3d = 29 … … … [2]

Now solve [1] and [2] :

-2 (a (1) + 10d) + (2 a (1) + 3d) = -2 (57) + 29

-17d = -85

d = 5

a (1) + 10d = a (1) + 50 = 57

a (1) = 7

Then the n-th term of the sequence is given by

a (n) = 7 + 5 (n - 1) = 5n + 2

Greg has a storage container in the shape of a
rectangular prism that has a volume of 360 cubic
feet. The container's base measures 8 feet long and
9 feet wide. What is the height of the storage
container, in feet?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to know the equation for volume which is: length×width×height

You have the length and the width which those are: l=8 and w=9

Multiply the length and width together: 8×9=72

Then divide 360÷72=5

Check your math: 8×9×5=360

Therefore, the correct answer is 5

250 employees in an organization were surveyed about their hair color and height. The data collected is presented in the table. If a person is selected at random, what is the probability that the person is taller than 180 centimeters and has black hair?

A) 0.257

B) 0.351

C) 0.360

D) 0.116​

Answers

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of employees in the organization = 250

Total person who have height greater than 180 centimeters and also have  black hair = 29

Probability of choosing a person who is taller than 180 centimeters and has black hair is

[tex]\frac{29}{250} = 0.116[/tex]

Hence, option D is correct

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

D) 0.116​

You have to find the probability of choosing a person at random taller than 180 cm and with black hair.

In the data provided 29 people meet that criteria. Out of 250 people in total you just divide.

29/250=0.116

A survey was run by a high school student in order to determine what proportion of mortgage-holders in his town expect to own their house within 10 years. He surveyed 35 mortgage holders and found that the proportion of these that did expect to own their house within 10 years is 0.51. The student decides to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion. a)Calculate the margin of error that the high school student will have. Give your answer as a decimal to 2 decimal places. Margin of error

Answers

Answer:

The margin of error is of 0.17.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

He surveyed 35 mortgage holders and found that the proportion of these that did expect to own their house within 10 years is 0.51.

This means that [tex]n = 35, \pi = 0.51[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

a)Calculate the margin of error that the high school student will have.

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.51*0.49}{35}}[/tex]

[tex]M = 0.1656[/tex]

Rounding to 2 decimal places, the margin of error is of 0.17.
