Hello,

f(1)=120\\
 f(2)=-\frac{1}{2}*120=-60\\ 
 f(3)=-\frac{1}{2} *(-60)=30\\ 
 f(4)=-\frac{1}{2} *(30)=-15\\ 
 f(5)=-\frac{1}{2} *(-15)=\frac{15}{2}\\

A certain shampoo is available in two sizes. A 13.5 ounces bottle cost $2.98. A 29.2 ounce bottle cost $6.12. Find the Unit pric
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

9.2 ounce bottle cost $6.12 is better buy with unit price of $0.22

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit price of any product is given by

unit price = weight of product/ price of product

Given sizes

A

13.5 ounces bottle cost $2.98

cost of 1 ounce of shampoo for this size = cost price/weight of shampoo

 cost of 1 ounce of shampoo for this size =2.98/13.5 = $0.22

Unit price for this size is $.022

B

9.2 ounce bottle cost $6.12

cost of 1 ounce of shampoo for this size = cost price/weight of shampoo

 cost of 1 ounce of shampoo for this size =6.12/9.2 = 0.66

Unit price for this size is $0.66

As $0.22 is less than $0.66 thus,

9.2 ounce bottle cost $6.12 is better buy.

A sample with a sample proportion of 0.4 and which of the following sizes will produce the widest 95% confidence interval when e
Fed [463]

Answer:

C. 50

Step-by-step explanation:

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

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

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

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The higher the margin of error, the wider an interval is.

As the sample size increases, the margin of error decreases. If we want a widest possible interval, we should select the smallest possible confidence interval.

So the correct answer is:

C. 50

A basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws. The notation for conditional probability
taurus [48]

Answer:

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.

If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.

In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change

Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80

Hence I throw is independent of II throw.

When A and B are independent,then we have

P(A/B) = P(A)

Hence answer is

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)
