There's 12 months in a year so if the value decreases by 6% each year that would be 6 ÷ 12 which is 0.5%. Therefore the decay each month is -0.5%.
maybe a? because it’s reflecting off of the x axis
Answer:
The customer can conclude that the company's claim is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage of lids that has a free yogurt coupon = 20%
The number of cups a loyal customer purchases = 85 yogurt cups
The number of cups that contained a coupon = 12 (14.1%)
The confidence interval performed = 99% confidence interval for the proportion of yogurt cups containing coupon codes
The interval obtained = (0.044, 0.238)
Therefore, the range of proportion within which the true proportion exists is 0.044 < < 0.238
The range of percentage within which the true percentage exist is therefore;
0.044 × 100 = 4.4% < × 100 < 0.238 × 100 = 23.8%
Given that the possible true percentage of lids that has a coupon is between 4.4% and 23.8% at 99% confidence level, the customer can conclude that only 12 of his yogurt cup contained coupon by chance and that the company's claim is correct.
Ooh, fun
geometric sequences can be represented as
so the first 3 terms are
the sum is -7/10
and their product is -1/125
from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get
note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as
subsituting -1/5 for ar
which simplifies to
multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for
so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2
so
or
use them to solve for the value of a
try for r=2 and 1/2
or
test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²=
it works
for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²=
it works
both have the same terms but one is simplified
the 3 numbers are
