Consecutive terms in this sequence differ by p.
First term: p
Second term: p + p = 2p
Third term: 2p + p = 3p
and so on. It follows that the n-th term satisfies
np = 336
Presumably you meant to say the "sum of the first n terms" is 7224, which is to say
p + 2p + 3p + … + np = 7224
which can be rewritten as
p (1 + 2 + 3 + … + n) = 7224
p (n (n + 1)/2) = 7224
n (n + 1) p = 14,448
Substitute the first equation in the second one and solve for n :
336 (n + 1) = 14,448
n + 1 = 43
n = 42
Now solve for p :
42p = 336
p = 8
A telephone service representative believes that the proportion of customers completely satisfied with their local telephone service is different between the South and the Midwest. The representative's belief is based on the results of a survey. The survey included a random sample of 1300 southern residents and 1380 midwestern residents. 39% of the southern residents and 50% of the midwestern residents reported that they were completely satisfied with their local telephone service. Find the 80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions. Step 1 of 3 : Find the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval
Answer:
The point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is 0.11.
The 80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions is (0.0856, 0.1344).
Step-by-step explanation:
Before building the confidence interval, we need to understand the central limit theorem and subtraction of normal variables.
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]
Subtraction between normal variables:
When two normal variables are subtracted, the mean is the difference of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.
Midwest:
50% of 1380, so:
[tex]p_M = 0.5[/tex]
[tex]s_M = \sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{1380}} = 0.0135[/tex]
South:
39% of 1300, so:
[tex]p_S = 0.39[/tex]
[tex]s_S = \sqrt{\frac{0.39*0.61}{1300}} = 0.0135[/tex]
Distribution of the difference:
[tex]p = p_M - p_S = 0.5 - 0.39 = 0.11[/tex]
So the point estimate that should be used in constructing the confidence interval is 0.11.
[tex]s = \sqrt{s_M^2+s_S^2} = \sqrt{0.0135^2+0.0135^2} = 0.0191[/tex]
Confidence interval:
[tex]p \pm zs[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
80% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.2[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.2}{2} = 0.9[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.28[/tex].
The lower bound of the interval is:
[tex]p - zs = 0.11 - 1.28*0.0191 = 0.0856[/tex]
The upper bound of the interval is:
[tex]p + zs = 0.11 + 1.28*0.0191 = 0.1344[/tex]
The 80% confidence interval for the difference in two proportions is (0.0856, 0.1344).

A note card company has found that the marginal cost per card of producing x note cards is given by the function below, where C'(x) is the
marginal cost, in cents, per card. Find the total cost of producing 900 cards, disregarding any fixed costs.
C'(x) = -0.05x + 77, for x S 1000
The total cost is
cents
Answer:
49,050cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression for calculating the marginal cost per card of producing x note cards expressed as
C'(x) = -0.05x + 77
On intergrating the marginal cost, we will get the total cost
C(x) = -0.05x²/2 + 77x
Substitute x = 900 into the resulting expression
C(900) = -0.05(900)²/2 + 77(900)
C(900) = -20,250+69,300
C(900) = 49,050
Hence the total costs in cents is 49,050cents

The slide is inclined at an angle of 52.0°. Danny weighs 46.0 pounds. He is sitting in a cardboard box
with a piece of wax paper on the bottom. Stacey is at the top of the slide holding on to the cardboard
box. Find the magnitude of the force Stacey must pull with, in order to keep Danny from sliding down
the slide. (We are assuming that the wax paper makes the slide into a frictionless surface, so that the
only force keeping Danny from sliding is the force with which Stacey pulls.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the slide is inclined at an angle of 52.0° to the horizontal, Danny's weight (mass, m) of 46.0 pounds has a component W = mgcos52.0° perpendicular to the incline and W' = mgsin52.0° parallel to the incline where g = acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s²
The perpendicular component of Danny's weight is the normal force to the incline. This normal force would determine the magnitude of the friction along the incline.
Since the wax paper makes the incline surface frictionless, so, there is no friction along the surface and thus the only horizontal force acting along the surface is the component of Danny's weight along the surface.
For Stacey to keep Danny from sliding down along the incline, the force she applies along the incline, F must be equal to the component of Danny's weight along the incline.
So, F = W'
F = mgsin52.0°
F = 46lb × 32 ft/s² × sin52°
F = 1472 lb-ft/s² 0.7880
F = 1159.95 lb-f
F ≅ 1160 lb-f
Instructions: The polygons in each pair are similar. Find the
missing side length.
Answer:
missing side length is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
similar means that all correlating pairs of sides have the same ratio (old side length) / (new side length).
so, when we know the ratio of one pair, we can apply it to any other side to calculate the correlating side.
we see, when we go from small to large, that we have the ratio 32/40 = 4/5.
so, multiplying the larger side by this, we get the shorter side.
15 × 4/5 = 3 × 4 = 12
the proportion part in your picture is a bit confusing :
yes,
x/15 = 32/40 = 32/40
I don't know, why this last expression was repeated.
x/15 = 32/40
x = 15×32/40 = 15×4/5 = 3×4 = 12
as you see we get of course the same result doing it that way.
In the figure, find the measure of TU⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Answer:
TU = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two secant segments that are drawn from a circle to meet at an exterior point of the circle. Thus, according to the secant secant theorem, the product of the measure of one secant segment and its external secant segment equals that of the product of the other and its external secant segment.
Thus:
VU*TU = VW*BW
Substitute
7(x + 4) = 9(-2 + x)
7x + 28 = -18 + 9x
Collect like terms
7x - 9x = -18 - 28
-2x = -46
Divide both sides by -2
x = -46/-2
x = 23
✔️TU = x + 4
Plug in the value of x
TU = 23 + 4
TU = 27

Answer:57*91547
Step-by-step explanation:
Help with 5b please . thank you.
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given f(x)=ln(1+x)-x+(1/2)x^2.
We are first ask to differentiate this.
We will need chain rule for first term and power rule for all three terms.
f'(x)=(1+x)'/(1+x)-(1)+(1/2)×2x
f'(x)=(0+1)/(1+x)-(1)+x
f'(x)=1/(1+x)-(1)+x
We are then ask to prove if x is positive then f is positive.
I'm thinking they want us to use the derivative part in our answer.
Let's look at the critical numbers.
f' is undefined at x=-1 and it also makes f undefined.
Let's see if we can find when expression is 0.
1/(1+x)-(1)+x=0
Find common denominator:
1/(1+x)-(1+x)/(1+x)+x(1+x)/(1+x)=0
(1-1-x+x+x^2)/(1+x)=0
A fraction can only be zero when it's numerator is.
Simplify numerator equal 0:
x^2=0
This happens at x=0.
This means the expression,f, is increasing or decreasing after x=0. Let's found out what's happening there. f'(1)=1/(1+1)-(1)+1=1/2 which means after x=0, f is increasing since f'>0 after x=0.
So we should see increasing values of f when we up the value for x after 0.
Plugging in 0 gives: f(0)=ln(1+0)-0+(1/2)0^2=0.
So any value f, after this x=0, should be higher than 0 since f(0)=0 and f' told us f in increasing after x equals 0.

Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are ten sides on this die. As stated in your question, there are five even numbers and five odd numbers. If we take the amount of even numbers over the total, you get 5/10, which simplifies to 1/2.
The probability of rolling an even number on a 10 - sided die is 1/2 or 0.5
What is Probability?
The probability that an event will occur is measured by the ratio of favorable examples to the total number of situations possible
The value of probability lies between 0 and 1
Given data ,
Let the data set be S = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 }
So , the number of elements in the data set = 10 elements
Now , in order to get an even number when dolling the dice ,
The set of possible outcomes P = { 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 }
The number of elements in the data set P of outcomes = 5 elements
So , the probability of getting an even number from the data set when rolling a 10 sided dice is P ( x ) =
number of elements in the data set P of outcomes / number of elements in the data set
The probability of getting an even number from the data set when rolling a 10 sided dice is P ( x ) = 5 / 10
The probability P ( x ) = 1/2
= 0.5
Hence , The probability of rolling an even number on a 10 - sided die is 1/2 or 0.5
