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 television station plans to ask a random sample of 400 city residents if they can name the news anchor on the evening news at

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

There is an 8.38% probability that the anchor will be fired.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resident, there is only two possible outcomes. Either they can name the news anchor on the evening news at their station, or they cannot.

This means that the binomial probability distribution will be used in our solution.

However, we are working with samples that are considerably big. So i am going to aaproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

400 city residents are going to be asked. So $n = 400$ .

Suppose that in fact 12% of city residents could name the anchor if asked. This means that $p = 0.12$ .

So,

$\mu = E(X) = 400*0.12 = 48$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{400*0.12*0.88} = 6.5$ .

They plan to fire the news anchor if fewer than 10% of the residents in the sample can do so.

What is the approximate probability that the anchor will be fired?

10% of the residents is 0.10*400 = 40 residents.

Fewer than 10% is 39 residents. So the probability that the anchor will be fired is the pvalue of Z when $X = 39$ .

So:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{39 - 48}{6.5}$

$Z = -1.38$

$Z = -1.38$ has a pvalue of 0.0838. This means that there is an 8.38% probability that the anchor will be fired.

Lois says any addition equation where the addends are all the same can be written as a multiplication equation. Is Lois correct

USPshnik [31]

Lois is correct. This is because multiplication is repeated addition. It means that when your addends are just the same number but added several times, the sum is just equivalent to the product of that number times the number of times it was added. For example, 4+4+4 = 4×3 = 12.

Rocío trabaja en una peluquería, le pagan $50 por corte realizado, adicionalmente recibe $25 al día. Si el día miércoles recibió

skad [1K]

Usando conceptos de funciones lineales, se encuentra que hizo 5 cortes.

----------------

Una funcion lineale tiene el seguiente formato:

$y(x) = ax + b$

En que:

a eres lá inclinacion, o sea, lo que es pago por cada corte.
b eres el intercepto, o sea, lo pagamiento fixo por día.

----------------

Pagan $50 por corte realizado, o sea, $a = 50$ .
$25 fixo al día, o sea, $b = 25$

Entonces, la funcion de su recibimiento y, como funcion de su numero de cortes x, es da por:

$y(x) = 25 + 50x$

----------------

Recibió $275, o sea, $y(x) = 275$

Entonces, el numero de cortes es:

$y(x) = 25 + 50x$

$25 + 50x = 275$

$50x = 250$

$x = \frac{250}{50}$

$x = 5$

Realizó 5 cortes.

A family are going away for the weekend. They look at a road map to see where their hotel is. The scale used is 1 : 250,000 The

kirill [66]

Answer:

Answer: 21,250m or 21,25km.

Step-by-step explanation:

8.5cm times 250,000 = 2,125,000cm

1m = 100cm is 1cm = 0.01m

2,125,000cm = 2,125,000 times 0.01 = 21,250m

1km = 1,000m is 1m = 0.001km

21,250m = 21,250 times 0.001km = 21.25km

And you get your answer.
