1+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64
if you continue adding on fractions according to this pattern, when will you reach a sum of 2?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: You will never reach a sum of 2. You would need infinitely many terms to sum up.

============================================================

Explanation:

We have this sequence

1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, ...

which is geometric with the following properties

a = first term = 1r = common ratio = 1/2 = 0.5

Notice how we multiply each term by 1/2 to get the next term. Eg: (1/4)*(1/2) = 1/8 or (1/16)*(1/2) = 1/32.

Since r = 0.5 is between -1 and 1, i.e. -1 < r < 1 is true, this means that adding infinite terms of this form will get us to approach some finite sum which we'll call S. This is because the new terms added on get smaller and smaller.

That infinite sum is

S = a/(1-r)

S = 1/(1-0.5)

S = 1/0.5

S = 2

So if we keep going with that pattern 1+1/2+1/4+... and do so forever, then we'll reach a sum of 2. However, we cannot go on forever since it's asking when we'll reach that specific sum. In other words, your teacher wants finitely many terms to be added.

In short, we'll never actually reach the sum 2 itself. We'll just get closer and closer.

Here's a list of partial sums

1+1/2 = 1.51+1/2+1/4 = 1.751+1/2+1/4+1/8 = 1.8751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16 = 1.93751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32 = 1.968751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64 = 1.9843751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128 = 1.99218751+1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+1/128+1/256 = 1.99609375

We can see that we're getting closer to 2, but we'll never actually get there. We'd need to add infinitely many terms to get to exactly 2.

Solve the right triangle ABC, with C = 90.00◦ , a = 15.21 cm, b = 17.34 cm. Round to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

the hypotenuse side, c = 23.1 cmangle A = 41.26 ⁰angle B = 48.74 ⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

first leg of the right triangle, a = 15.21 cm

second leg of the right triangle, b = 17.34 cm

Angle C = 90 ⁰

The missing parameters;

the hypotenuse side = cangle Aangle B

Use Pythagoras theorem to calculate the missing side "c", which is the hypotenuse

c² = a² + b²

c² = (15.21)²  +  (17.34)²

c² = 532.02

c = √532.02

c = 23.1 cm

The missing angle A is calculated as;

[tex]tan(A) = \frac{a}{b} \\\\tan(A) = \frac{15.21}{17.34} \\\\tan(A) = 0.8772 \\\\A = tan^{-1} (0.8772)\\\\A = 41.26^0[/tex]

The missing angle is calculated as;

B = 90⁰ - A

B = 90⁰ - 41.26⁰

B = 48.74⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y^{6} x^{-2}[/tex]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a set of values within parenthesis, and an exponents on the values and on the parenthesis, you multiply the outer exponent with the inner exponent.

When a value has a negative exponent, the value that has the negative exponent will become a fraction and go to the denominator of the fraction (or go immediately to the denominator), or if it is already a fraction, goes to the denominator. If the value that has the negative exponent is in the denominator, the value will go to the numerator. In both instances, the negative exponent will then change to positive.

First, we need to simplify the expression inside the parenthesis.

[tex]y^{\frac{3}{2} } x^{-\frac{1}{2} } --> \frac{y^{\frac{3}{2} } }{x^{\frac{1}{2}} }[/tex]

Now we multiply the 4 to the exponents.

[tex]\frac{y^{\frac{3}{2} *\frac{x4}{1} } }{x^{\frac{1}{2}}*\frac{4}{1} } = \frac{y^{\frac{12}{2}} }{x^{\frac{4}{2}}} = \frac{y^6}{x^2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y^6}{x^2}[/tex] is the answer.

Kobe is a basketball player. He is able to make a free throw 70% of the time. What is the probability that Kobe makes his 10th free throw on his 14th shot

Answers

Answer:

0.1636 = 16.36% probability that Kobe makes his 10th free throw on his 14th shot

Step-by-step explanation:

For each free throw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he makes it, or he misses. The probability of making a free throw is independent of any other free throw, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used 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.

He is able to make a free throw 70% of the time.

This means that [tex]p = 0.7[/tex]

What is the probability that Kobe makes his 10th free throw on his 14th shot?

9 of his first 13(P(X = 9) when n = 13), and then the 10th with 0.7 probability.

Thus

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

[tex]P(X = 9) = C_{13,9}.(0.7)^{9}.(0.3)^{3} = 0.2337[/tex]

0.7*0.2337 = 0.1636

0.1636 = 16.36% probability that Kobe makes his 10th free throw on his 14th shot

B. A prediction based on Model 2 is better than a prediction based on Model 1.
C. There is no difference in the predictive ability between Model 1 and Model 2.
D. There is not sufficient information to determine which of two models is superior for prediction purposes.

Answers

Answer:

A. A prediction based on Model 1 is better than a prediction based on Model 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Model 1 :

R² = 0.92

s = 1.65

Model 2 :

R² = 0.85

s = 1.91

The Coefficient of determination of the first model is 0.92 which is greater than the coefficient of determination of the Second model, the coefficient of determination gives the proportion of variation in the dependent variable which is caused by the regression line. Hence, we can say a prediction based on Model 1 is better than a prediction based on Model 2 because a larger proportion of the variation in the dependent variable is predictable from the independent variable.

|error| <= _________

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to compute [tex]e^{0.4}[/tex] by the help of third-degree Taylor polynomial that is expanded around at x = 0.

Given :

[tex]e^{0.4}[/tex] < e < 3

Therefore, the Taylor's Error Bound formula is given by :

[tex]$|\text{Error}| \leq \frac{M}{(N+1)!} |x-a|^{N+1}$[/tex]   , where [tex]$M=|F^{N+1}(x)|$[/tex]

         [tex]$\leq \frac{3}{(3+1)!} |-0.4|^4$[/tex]

         [tex]$\leq \frac{3}{24} \times (0.4)^4$[/tex]

         [tex]$\leq 0.0032$[/tex]

Therefore, |Error| ≤ 0.0032

Suppose 42% of the population has myopia. If a random sample of size 442 is selected, what is the probability that the proportion of persons with myopia will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%

Answers

Answer:

0.7994 = 79.94% probability that the proportion of persons with myopia will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Suppose 42% of the population has myopia.

This means that [tex]p = 0.42[/tex]

Random sample of size 442 is selected

This means that [tex]n = 442[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.42[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.42*0.58}{442}} = 0.0235[/tex]

What is the probability that the proportion of persons with myopia will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%?

Proportion between 0.42 + 0.03 = 0.45 and 0.42 - 0.03 = 0.39, which is the p-value of Z when X = 0.45 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.39.

X = 0.45

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.45 - 0.42}{0.0235}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8997

X = 0.39

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.39 - 0.42}{0.0235}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.28[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.28[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1003

0.8997 - 0.1003 = 0.7994

0.7994 = 79.94% probability that the proportion of persons with myopia will differ from the population proportion by less than 3%.

Answers

Answer:

The total distance Allie traveled was 0.81 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Allie rode her bike up a hill at an average speed of 12 feet / second, and she then rode back down the hill at an average speed of 60 feet / second, and the entire trip took her 2 minutes, to determine what is the total distance she traveled, the following calculation must be performed:

12 + 60 = 72

72 x 60 = 4320

1000 feet = 0.189394 miles

4320 feet = 0.8181818 miles

Therefore, the total distance Allie traveled was 0.81 miles.
