Answer:

1. Diverges

2. Converges

3. Diverges

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

Limit comparison test:

- Given, ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] and suppose ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] such that both series are positive for all values of ( n ). Then the following three conditions are applicable for the limit:

                          Lim ( n-> ∞ )   [tex][ \frac{a_n}{b_n} ][/tex]  = c

Where,

1) If c is finite: 0 < c < 1, then both series ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] and ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] either converges or diverges.

2) If c = 0, then ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] converges only if ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] converges.

3) If c = ∞ or undefined, then ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] diverges only if ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] diverges.

a) The given series ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] is:

                   (n = 1) ∑^∞  [tex][ \frac{n^2+1}{2n^3-1} ][/tex]

- We will make an educated guess on the comparative series  ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] by the following procedure.

                  (n = 1) ∑^∞   [tex][ \frac{n^2( 1 + \frac{1}{n^2} )}{n^3 ( 2 - \frac{1}{n^2} ) } ] = [ \frac{( 1 + \frac{1}{n^2} )}{n( 2 - \frac{1}{n^2} ) } ][/tex]

- Apply the limit ( n - > ∞ ):

                 (n = 1) ∑^∞  [tex][ \frac{1}{2n}][/tex]    .... The comparative series ( ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] )

- Both series  ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] and ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] are positive series. You can check by plugging various real number for ( n ) in both series.

- Compute the limit:

                 Lim ( n-> ∞ )  [tex][ \frac{n^2 + 1}{2n^3 - 1} * 2n ] = [ \frac{2n^3 + 2n}{2n^3 - 1} ][/tex]

                 Lim ( n-> ∞ )    [tex][ \frac{2n^3 ( 1 + \frac{1}{n^2} ) }{2n^3 ( 1 - \frac{1}{2n^3} ) } ] = [ \frac{ 1 + \frac{1}{n^2} }{ 1 - \frac{1}{2n^3} } ][/tex]

- Apply the limit ( n - > ∞ ):

                Lim ( n-> ∞ )  [tex][ \frac{a_n}{b_n} ][/tex]  = [tex][ \frac{1 + 0}{1 + 0} ][/tex] = 1   ... Finite

- So from first condition both series either converge or diverge.

- We check for ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] convergence or divergence.

- The ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] = ( 1 / 2n ) resembles harmonic series ∑ ( 1 / n ) which diverges by p-series test ∑ ( [tex]\frac{1}{n^p}[/tex] ) where p = 1 ≤ 1. Hence, ∑

- In combination of limit test and the divergence of ∑[tex]b_n[/tex], the series ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] given also diverges.

Answer: Diverges    

b)          

The given series ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] is:

                   (n = 1) ∑^∞  [tex][ \frac{n}{n^\frac{5}{2} +5} ][/tex]

- We will make an educated guess on the comparative series  ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] by the following procedure.

                  (n = 1) ∑^∞   [tex][ \frac{n( 1 )}{n ( n^\frac{3}{2} + \frac{5}{n} ) } ] = [\frac{1}{( n^\frac{3}{2} + \frac{5}{n} )} ][/tex]

- Apply the limit ( n - > ∞ ) in the denominator for  ( 5 / n ), only the dominant term n^(3/2) is left:

                  (n = 1) ∑^∞    [tex][ \frac{1}{n^\frac{3}{2} } ][/tex] .... The comparative series ( ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] )

- Both series  ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] and ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] are positive series. You can check by plugging various real number for ( n ) in both series.

- Compute the limit:

                 Lim ( n-> ∞ )   [tex][ \frac{n}{n^\frac{5}{2} +5} * n^\frac{3}{2} ] = [ \frac{n^\frac{5}{2}}{n^\frac{5}{2} +5} ][/tex]

                 Lim ( n-> ∞ )    [tex][ \frac{n^\frac{5}{2}}{n^\frac{5}{2} ( 1 + \frac{5}{n^\frac{5}{2}}) } ] = [ \frac{1}{1 + \frac{5}{n^\frac{5}{2}} } ][/tex]

- Apply the limit ( n - > ∞ ):

                Lim ( n-> ∞ )  [tex][ \frac{a_n}{b_n} ][/tex]  = [tex][\frac{1}{1 + 0}][/tex] = 1   ... Finite

- So from first condition both series either converge or diverge.

- We check for ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] convergence or divergence.

- The ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] = ( [tex][ \frac{1}{n^\frac{3}{2} } ][/tex] ) converges by p-series test ∑ ( [tex]\frac{1}{n^p}[/tex] ) where p = 3/2 > 1. Hence, ∑

- In combination of limit test and the divergence of ∑[tex]b_n[/tex], the series ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] given also converges.

Answer: converges

Comparison Test:-  

- Given, ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] and suppose ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] such that both series are positive for all values of ( n ).

-Then the following conditions are applied:

1 ) If ( [tex]a_n[/tex] - [tex]b_n[/tex] ) < 0 , then ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] diverges only if ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] diverges

2 ) If ( [tex]a_n[/tex] - [tex]b_n[/tex] ) ≤ 0 , then ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] converges only if ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] converges

c) The given series ∑[tex]a_n[/tex] is:

                   (n = 1) ∑^∞ [tex][ \frac{4 + 3^2}{2^n} ][/tex]

- We will make an educated guess on the comparative series  ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] by the following procedure.

                  (n = 1) ∑^∞ [tex][ \frac{3^n ( \frac{4}{3^n} + 1 )}{2^n} ][/tex]

- Apply the limit ( n - > ∞ ) in the numerator for  ( 4 / 3^n ), only the dominant terms ( 3^n ) and ( 2^n ) are left:  

                 (n = 1) ∑^∞ [tex][ \frac{3^n}{2^n} ][/tex]   ... The comparative series ( ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] )

- Compute the difference between sequences ( [tex]a_n[/tex] - [tex]b_n[/tex] ):

                 [tex]a_n - b_n = \frac{4 + 3^n}{2^n} - [ \frac{3^n}{2^n} ] \\\\a_n - b_n = \frac{4 }{2^n} \geq 0[/tex], for all values of ( n )

- Check for divergence of the comparative series ( ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] ), using divergence test:

               ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] = (n = 1) ∑^∞ [tex][ \frac{3^n}{2^n} ][/tex]  diverges

- The first condition is applied when  ( [tex]a_n[/tex] - [tex]b_n[/tex] ) ≥ 0, then ∑diverges only if ∑[tex]b_n[/tex] diverges.

Answer: Diverges

Answer:

One plane has a speed of 450 km/h and the other has a speed of 900 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to say that:

The speed of the first plane is x.

The speed of the second plane is y.

One plane is flying at twice the speed of the other.

I will say that y = 2x. We could also say that x = 2y.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time, flying in the same direction

They fly in the same direction, so their relative speed(difference) at the end of each hour is y - x = 2x - x = x.

If after 4 hours they are 1800 km apart, find the speed of each plane

After 1 hour, they will be x km apart. After 4, 1800. So

1 hour - x km apart

4 hours - 1800 km apart

4x = 1800

x = 1800/4

x = 450

2x = 2*450 = 900

One plane has a speed of 450 km/h and the other has a speed of 900 km/h.

Answer:

C.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

4 can be divided by 1 and 2

6 can be divided by 1 and 2

12 is wrong because it can be divided by 1,2, and 4 so it has 6 factors instead of 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]z=\frac{0.276 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{735}}}=-1.42[/tex]  

Now we can claculate the p value with this formula:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.42)=0.0778[/tex]  

If we use a signifiacn level of 5% we see that the p value is higher than 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.3 at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information to given

n=735 represent the random sample taken

X=203 represent the number of people who have their prostate regularly examined

[tex]\hat p=\frac{203}{735}=0.276[/tex] estimated proportion of people who have their prostate regularly examined  

[tex]p_o=0.3[/tex] is the value to verify

z would represent the statistic

[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true proportion is less than 0.3, the ystem of hypothesis are.:  

Null hypothesis:[tex]p \geq 0.3[/tex]  

Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.3[/tex]  

The statistic is given by:

[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)  

Replacing the info we got:

[tex]z=\frac{0.276 -0.3}{\sqrt{\frac{0.3(1-0.3)}{735}}}=-1.42[/tex]  

Now we can claculate the p value with this formula:

[tex]p_v =P(z<-1.42)=0.0778[/tex]  

If we use a signifiacn level of 5% we see that the p value is higher than 0.05 so then we have enough evidence to fail to reject the null hypothesis and we can't conclude that the true proportion is significantly higher than 0.3 at 5% of significance.

Answer:

  Exponential; $376.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally, an increase of 12% in a month means the prices are 12% more than they were in the previous month. That is, the value has been multiplied by 1.12.

The same would be true for the second month, so the overall multiplier for the two months is ...

  (1.12)(1.12) = 1.12^2 = 1.2544

This makes the food bill for the second month amount to ...

  1.2544 × $300 = $376.32

_____

As with all percentages, you need to be clear about what base is being used. Here, we have assumed the base for a monthly increase is the value at the beginning of the month.

If, instead, it is the value at the beginning of the year, then the increase is linear, not exponential. 12% of the value at the beginning of the year is the same throughout the year.

Answer:

8.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the ramp is attached below.

Volume of a Triangular Prism = Base Area X Width

From the diagram:

Base of the triangle = 6 ft

Height of the Triangle = 12 ft

Therefore:

Base Area of the Prism [tex]=\frac{1}{2}X 12X6=36$ ft^2[/tex]

From the diagram, Width of the ramp =x

Given that the volume of the ramp is 313.2 cubic feet.

Therefore, substituting into the formula for Volume of a Triangular Prism

[tex]313.2=36 X x\\x= 313.2 \div 36\\$Width of the ramp, x=8.7 ft[/tex]

Answer:

d = 48 h

Step-by-step explanation:

Lamar's distance traveled is directly proportional to the number of hours be drove.

So distance (d) ∝ hours (h)

Lamar traveled 288 miles in 6 hours

Since d ∝ h

then d = kh    [ where k is the proportionality constant ]

if     288 = k × 6

k =  =288/48

Therefore, equation will be d = 48 h will be the equation

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The distribution of X is Normal Distribution with mean [tex]= \mu =17[/tex] and Variance [tex]= \sigma^{2} = 16 \ i.e., X \sim N (17, 16),[/tex]

(b)

The distribution of [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] is Normal Distribution with mean [tex]= \mu =17[/tex] and Variance = [tex]\sigma^{2}/n = 16/15= 1.0667[/tex].i.e., [tex]\bar{x}\sim N(17,1.0667)[/tex]

c)

To find P(15.5 < X < 18):

Case 1: For X from 15.5 to mid value:

Z = (15.5 - 17)/4 = - 0.375

Table of Area Under Standard Normal Curve gives area = 0.1480

Case 2: For X from mid value to 18:

Z = (18 - 17)/4 = 0.25

Table of Area Under Standard Normal Curve gives area = 0.0987

So,

P(15.5 < X< 18) = 0.1480 +0.0987 = 0.2467

So,

Answer is:

0.2467

(d)

[tex]SE = \sigma/\sqrt{n}\\\\= 4/\sqrt{15}[/tex]

= 1.0328

To find [tex]P(15.5 < \bar{x}< 18):[/tex]

Case 1: For [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] from 15.5 to mid value:

Z = (15.5 - 17)/1.0328 = - 1.4524

Table of Area Under Standard Normal Curve gives area = 0.4265

Case 2: For X from mid value to 18:

Z = (18 - 17)/1.0328 = 0.9682

Table of Area Under Standard Normal Curve gives area = 0.3340

So,

[tex]P(15.5 < \bar{x}< 18) = 0.4265 + 0.3340 = 0.7605[/tex]

So,

Answer is:

0.7605

(e)

Correct option:

No

because Population SD is provided.

(f)

(i)

Q1 is given by:

[tex]- 0.6745 = (\bar{x} - 17)/1.0328[/tex]

So,

X = 17 - (0.6745 * 1.0328) = 17 - 0.6966 = 16.3034

So,

Q1 = 16.3034

(ii)

Q3 is given by:

[tex]0.6745 = (\bar{x} - 17)/1.0328[/tex]

So,

X = 17 + (0.6745 * 1.0328) = 17 + 0.6966 = 17.6966

So,

Q3= 17.6966

(iii)

IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 17.6966 - 16.3034 = 1.3932

So

Answers are:

Q1 = 16.3034 ounces

Q3 = 17.6966 Ounces

IQR = 1.3932 Ounces

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A group of professors investigated first-year college students' knowledge of astronomy. One concept of interest was the Big Bang theory of the creation of the universe. In a sample of 149 freshmen students, 32 believed that the Big Bang theory accurately described the creation of planetary systems. Based on this information, is it correct at the alpha = 0.01 level of significance to state that more than 20% of all freshmen college students believe the Big Bang theory describes the creation of planetary systems? State the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. H_0: p = 0.20 H_a: p not equal to 0.20 H_0: p not equal to 0.20 H_a: p = 0.20 H_0: p = 0.20 H_a: p 0.20 If alpha = 0.05, find the rejection region for the test. Choose the correct answer below. z > 1.645 z > 1.96 z

Solution:

We would set up the null and alternative hypothesis. The correct options are

For null hypothesis,

p ≥ 0.2

For alternative hypothesis,

p < 0.2

This is a left tailed test.

Considering the population proportion, probability of success, p = 0.2

q = probability of failure = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

Considering the sample,

Sample proportion, P = x/n

Where

x = number of success = 32

n = number of samples = 149

P = 32/149 = 0.21

We would determine the test statistic which is the z score

z = (P - p)/√pq/n

z = (0.21 - 0.2)/√(0.2 × 0.8)/149 = 0.31

The calculated test statistic is 0.31 for the right tail and - 0.31 for the left tail

Since α = 0.05, the critical value is determined from the normal distribution table.

For the left, α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

The z score for an area to the left of 0.025 is - 1.96

For the right, α/2 = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

The z score for an area to the right of 0.975 is 1.96

In order to reject the null hypothesis, the test statistic must be smaller than - 1.96 or greater than 1.96

Therefore, the rejection region is z > 1.96

Answer:

a=6

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the value of a you need to simplify the equation first. so...

3(a+3)-6=21 (you remove the bracket first)

3a+9-6=21

3a+3=21 (you collect the like terms then)

3a=21-3

3a=18 (then you both divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a)

a=18/3

a=6

to check your answer substitute 3 instead of a

3(a+3)-6=21

3(6+3)-6=21

3(9)-6=21 (according to BODMAS since multiplication comes first you multiply 3 with 9 before subtracting it from 6.)

29-6=21

21=21

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(a + 3) - 6 = 21

3(a + 3) = 21 + 6

3(a + 3) =27

a + 3. = 27 ÷ 3

a + 3. = 9

a. = 9 - 3

a. = 6

Answer:

y= 1/5x + 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel line to this has same slope and passes through the point (-2, 2)

The required equation in slope- intercept form is:

The length of the side d would be 77/18.

Suppose that we've got two quantities with measurements as 'a' and 'b'

Then, their ratio(ratio of a to b) a:b

or

[tex]\dfrac{a}{b}[/tex]

If triangles DEF and NPQ are similar, then

7/9 = d/ (11/2)

By cross multiply

9d = 7 x 11/2

d = 77/2 ÷ 9

d = 77/18

Thus, The length of the side d would be 77/18.

Answer:

a) 56.82

b) 64

c) there is no mode

d) 57

e) the jersey numbers are nominal data and they do not measure or count anything, so the resulting statistic are meaningless

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to organize the data from least to greatest:

15 24 29 38 41 64 72 74 76 93 99

a) the mean would be the average of the data, thus:

m = (15 + 24 + 29 + 38 + 41 + 64 + 72 + 74 + 76 + 93 + 99) / 11

m = 56.82

b) the median is the data of half, when the data is organized, in this case the value of half would be the sixth data that is 64.

c) the mode is the value that is most repeated, therefore as none is repeated there is no mode.

d) the midrange is the average between the minimum value and the maximum value:

mr = (15 + 99) / 2

mr = 57

e) the jersey numbers are nominal data and they do not measure or count anything, so the resulting statistic are meaningless

Answer:

1.54

Margin of error M.E = 1.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

x+/-M.E

Where M.E = margin of error

M.E = zr/√n

Given that

Standard deviation r = 1.93

Number of samples n = 6

Confidence interval = 95%

z(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

M.E = (1.96×1.93/√6) = 1.544321633166

M.E = 1.54 (to 2 decimal place)

Margin of error M.E = 1.54

Answer:

g(X)=3(2^x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a) P(6) = 0.0097

b) P(More than 3) = 0.1611

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is guessed correctly, or it is not. Questions are independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A student takes a multiple-choice test that has 11 questions.

This means that [tex]n = 11[/tex]

Each question has five choices.

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2[/tex]

(a) Find P (6)

This is P(X = 6).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{11,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{5} = 0.0097[/tex]

P(6) = 0.0097

(b) Find P (More than 3).

Either P is 3 or less, or it is more than three. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

[tex]P(X \leq 3) + P(X > 3) = 1[/tex]

We want P(X > 3). So

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{11,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{11} = 0.0859[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{11,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{10} = 0.2362[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{11,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{9} = 0.2953[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{11,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{8} = 0.2215[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0859 + 0.2362 + 0.2953 + 0.2215 = 0.8389[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X > 3) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.8389 = 0.1611[/tex]

P(More than 3) = 0.1611

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

That would be:

(3/8)(30)

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

(15/16)(1/2)

This can be reduced in various ways.  First, divide that 30 by 15, obtaining:

   6/8

-----------

   1/32

Now invert the divisor (1/32) and multiply:

(6/8)(32/1)

This reduces to 6*4, or 24.
