Answer:

311.36

Step-by-step explanation:

For  a geometric series sum of first n terms is a(1-r^n)/(1-r)

if r is less than 1.

where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

____________________________\

given

a = 108

r = \frac{2}{3}.

n = 8

thus , sum of n term is

a(1-r^n)/(1-r)\\=>108(1-(2/3)^8)/(1-2/3)\\=> 108 (1 - 256/6561)/1/3\\=> 108(6561-256)/ 6561/1/3\\=> 108(6305)/2187\\=>311.36

Thus sum of first 8 terms is 311.36

For each of the questions below, a histogram is described. Indicate in each case whether, in view of the Central Limit Theorem,
denis-greek [22]

Solution :

a). This histogram is not a bell shaped.

    Here we cannot use the theorem of the central limit as the histogram is being plotted by using 365 samples data values of the one sample.

b). This histogram may be bell shaped approximately since the sample size is large.

   Here there are 50 sample each having a size of 500 and there is 50 sample proportions. The histogram shows sampling distribution of the sample proportion. Thus the central limit theorem can be used.

The histogram is approximately bell shaped as there is 50 samples of each having 500 size and an average of 50. Thus the central limit theorem can be used.

c). The histogram is not a bell shaped.

   In this case central limit theorem cannot be used as the histogram is plotted by using 100 sample data values of one sample.

d). The histogram is a bell shaped since the sample size is large.

   In this case 200 samples  of each having a size of 50 and a data values of 50. The histogram here shows a sampling distribution of the sample proportion. Thus the central limit theorem can be used.

In the second also the histogram is of bell shaped as the sample size is large.

There are 200 samples of each sample having a size of 40 and they have 40 data values , i.e. sum of rolls.

e). It is not a bell shaped.

  The histogram here is plotted using 100 sample data values having one sample. Therefore we cannot use the central limit theorem.

We have to choose the correct answer for the center of the circumscribed circle of a triangle. The center of the circumscribed circle of a triangle is where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersects. In this case P1P2 and Q1Q2 are perpendicular bisectors of sides AB and BC, respectively and they intersect at point P. S is the point where the angle bisectors intersect ( it is the center of the inscribed circle ). Answer: <span>P.</span>
