1.) Three numbers form a geometric sequence whose common ratio is 0.5. If the first is reduced to 10 more than one quarter its value, the second decreased by 10, and the third increased by 10 more than twice its value, the resulting three numbers form an arithmetic sequence. Determine the original three numbers.

Answers

Answer 1

Let x be the first number in the sequence, so the first three numbers are

{x, 0.5x, 0.5²x}

Then

{x/4 + 10, 0.5x - 10, 2(0.5²x) + 10}

is arithmetic, so there is some constant c such that

0.5x - 10 = x/4 + 10 + c   ==>   x/2 - 10 = x/4 + 10 + c

2(0.5²x) + 10 = 0.5x - 10 + c   ==>   x/2 + 10 = x/2 - 10 + c

Solve the second equation for c :

x/2 + 10 = x/2 - 10 + c

c = 20

Substitute this into the first equation and solve for x :

x/2 - 10 = x/4 + 10 + 20

x/4 = 40

x = 160

Then the terms are

{160, 80, 40}

  A = (6y)(14y -5) -(5y +7)(5y)

  A = 84y² -30y -(25y² +35y)

  A = (84 -25)y² +(-30 -35)y

Three cards are dealt from a shuffled standard deck of playing cards. Find the probability that the first card dealt is red, the second is black, and the third is red. (Enter your probability as a fraction.)

Answers

There are 52 cards in a deck, half the cards aware red and half the cards are red.

First card being red is 26/52 = 1/2

After the first card is dealt there are 51 cards left and 26 are black so dealing a black card = 26/51

After 2 cards are dealt there are 50 cards left and 25 red ones left. The probability would be 25/50 = 1/2

The probability of all 3 happening = 1/2 x 26/51 x 1/2 = 13/102

[tex]The \: fraction \: \frac{15}{4} \: is \: equivalent \: to \: 3 \frac{3}{4 } .[/tex]

This fraction is a improper fraction once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (15) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (4). So, the equivalent fraction is a mixed number which is made up of a whole number (3) and a proper fraction [tex]3 \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

The fraction [tex] \frac{15}{4} [/tex]

is also equal to 15÷4 and can also be expressed as a decimal as 3.75 and expressed as a percentage as 375%.

The fraction 15/4 is equivalent to 3 3/4.

Here, we have,

To simplify the fraction 15/4, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (15) and the denominator (4) and divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD.

The GCD of 15 and 4 is 1 since there are no common factors other than 1.

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 1, we get:

(15 ÷ 1) / (4 ÷ 1) = 15/4

This fraction is a improper fraction once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (15) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denominator (4).

So, the equivalent fraction is a mixed number which is made up of a whole number (3) and a proper fraction 3 3/4.

The fraction 15/4 is also equal to 15÷4 and can also be expressed as a decimal as 3.75 and expressed as a percentage as 375%.

Two researchers, Justin and Henry, work together to study what proportion of subjects have a certain genotype in the population. They each collect a simple random sample and they find that the sample proportion is 0.70. When they construct a confidence interval based on this sample proportion, Henry comes up with (0.632, 0.768) while Justin gets (0.652, 0.788). Indicate which interval has to be wrong and why.

Answers

Using confidence interval concepts, it is found that Justin is wrong, as his interval is not symmetric about the sample proportion of 0.7.

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound. A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds. The margin of error is the difference between the two bounds, divided by 2.

In this problem, the point estimate is of 0.7.

Henry's interval is symmetric, as [tex]0.768 - 0.7 = 0.7 - 0.632[/tex].Justin's is not, as [tex]0.788 - 0.7 \neq 0.7 - 0.652[/tex].

Hence, Justin is wrong, as his interval is not symmetric about the sample proportion of 0.7.

A study of more than 3,000 toco toucans found that their weights were approximately Normally distributed, with a mean

Find the Z-table here.
O P(Y< 16) = 0.50. About 50% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces.
OP(Y< 16) = 0.041. About 4.1% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces.

P(Y < 16) = 0.041. About 4.1% of the toco toucans from this group weigh less than 16 ounces.
O P(Y< 16) = 0.959. About 95.9% of the toco toucans from this group weigh less than 16 ounces.

Answers

Using the normal distribution, it is found that the correct option is:

P(Y< 16) = 0.041. About 4.1% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces

In a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

Mean of 20 ounces, hence [tex]\mu = 20[/tex].Standard deviation of 2.3 ounces, hence [tex]\sigma = 2.3[/tex]

P(Y < 16) is the p-value of Z when X = 16, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{16 - 20}{2.3}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.74[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.74[/tex] has a p-value of 0.041.

This is valid for the entire population, hence, the correct interpretation is:

P(Y< 16) = 0.041. About 4.1% of all toco toucans weigh less than 16 ounces
