The question in part c is not clear, nevertheless, part a and part b would be solved.

Answer:

a. The first twelve terms are:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.

b. The first ten terms are:

1.000, 1.000, 1.500, 1.667, 1.600, 1.625, 1.615, 1.619, 1.618, 1.618.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given

an + 2 = an + an + 1

where a1 = 1 and a2 = 1.

a3 = a1 + a2

= 2

a4 = a2 + a3

= 3

a5 = a3 + a4

= 5

a6 = a5 + a4

= 8

a7 = a6 + a5

= 13

a8 = a7 + a6

= 21

a9 = a8 + a7

= 34

a10 = a9 + a8

= 55

a11 = a10 + a9

= 89

a12 = a11 + a10

= 144

The first twelve terms are:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144.

(b)

Given

bn = an+1/an

b1 = a2/a1

= 1/1 = 1.000

b2 = a3/a2

= 2/1 = 1.000

b3 = a4/a3

= 3/2 = 1.500

b4 = a5/a4

= 5/3 = 1.667

b5 = a6/a5

= 8/5 = 1.600

b6 = a7/a6

= 13/8 = 1.625

b7 = a8/a7

= 21/13 = 1.615

b8 = a9/a8

= 34/21 = 1.619

b9 = a10/a9

= 55/34 = 1.618

b10 = a11/a10

= 89/55 = 1.618

The first ten terms are:

1.000, 1.000, 1.500, 1.667, 1.600, 1.625, 1.615, 1.619, 1.618, 1.618.

A person is standing exactly 36 ft from a telephone pole. There is a 30° angle of elevation from the ground to the top of the po

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

20.78feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The question made us to understand that the man is standing and also there is angle of elevation, then we need to draw a right triangle having a base equal to 36 feet with an angle from the base to the top of the pole which is 30 degrees.

tan= opposite side / adjacent side

Let height of the pole =h

Tan(30)= h/36

But tan 30degree= 1/√3

h= 36 × 1/√3

h= 20.78feet

Therefore, the height of the pole= 20.78feet

Suppose that 4% of the 2 million high school students who take the SAT each year receive special accommodations because of docum

dangina [55]

Answer:

a. 0.0122

b. 0.294

c. 0.2818

d. 30.671%

e. 2.01 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let X represents the number of students that receive special accommodation

P(X) = 4%

P(X) = 0.04

Let S = Sample Size = 30

Let Y be a selected numbers of Sample Size

Y ≈ Bin (30,0.04)

a. The probability that 1 candidate received special accommodation

P(Y = 1) = (30,1)

= (0.04)¹ * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 1)

= 0.04 * 0.96^29

= 0.012244068467946074580191760542164986632531806368667873050624

P(Y=1) = 0.0122 --- Approximated

b. The probability that at least 1 received a special accommodation is given by:

This means P(Y≥1)

But P(Y=0) + P(Y≥1) = 1

P(Y≥1) = 1 - P(Y=0)

Calculating P(Y=0)

P(Y=0) = (0.04)° * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 0)

= 1 * 0.96^36

= 0.293857643230705789924602253011959679180763352848028953214976

= 0.294 --- Approximated

c.

The probability that at least 2 received a special accommodation is given by:

P (Y≥2) = 1 -P(Y=0) - P(Y=1)

= 0.294 - 0.0122

= 0.2818

d. The probability that the number among the 15 who received a special accommodation is within 2 standard deviations of the number you would expect to be accommodated?

First, we calculate the standard deviation

SD = √npq

n = 15

p = 0.04

q = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96

SD = √(15 * 0.04 * 0.96)

SD = 0.758946638440411

SD = 0.759

Mean =np = 15 * 0.04 = 0.6

The interval that is two standard deviations away from .6 is [0, 2.55] which means that we want the probability that either 0, 1 , or 2 students among the 20 students received a special accommodation.

P(Y≤2)

P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

=.

P(0) + P(1) = 0.0122 + 0.294

Calculating P(2)

P(2) = (0.04)² * (1 - 0.04)^(30 - 2(

P(2) = 0.00051

So,

P(0) +P(1) + P(2). = 0.0122 + 0.294 + 0.00051

= 0.30671

Thus it 30.671% probable that 0, 1, or 2 students received accommodation.
