Use Gauss's approach to find a formula for
the sum of the even numbers from 2 to 2n:
2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n
Your formula will be an expression involving n.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

sum = n (n+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S = sum

Gauss's approach

S = 2     + 4        + 6    + ...  + 2n -4  + 2n-2  +  2n

S = 2n + 2n-2 + 2n-4  +  ... +  6         + 4         + 2

add both equations term by term in order

2S = 2n+2  +  2n+2  + 2n+2 ..... (n times

therefore

S = n(n+1)

check:

n = 1,  S = 1(1+1) = 2   [= 2]

n = 2,  S = 2(2+1) = 6   [= 2+4]

...

checks

Answer 2

Gauss's approach was introduced by Carl Friedrich Gauss according to legend, while he was in primary school

The sum of 2 + 4 + 6 +...+ 2·n is n·(n + 1)

The reason the above expression is correct is as follows:

The required numbers to sum are;

Sum 2 to 2·n

The Gauss's approach involves the adding of the first and last and summing the result as follows:

2 × (2 + 4 + ... + 2·n) = (2·n + 2) + (2·n - 2 + 4) + (2·n - 4 + 6)+...+ (2 + 2·n)

Therefore, we have;

2 × (2 + 4 + ... + 2·n)  = n × (2·n + 2)

(2 + 4 + ... + 2·n)  = n × (2·n + 2)/2 = n·(n + 1)

The expression n × (2·n + 2)/2 = (n/2) × (2·n + 2) = (n/2) × (2 + 2·n)

(n/2) × (2 + 2·n) = (number of terms)/2 × (First + Last term)

Number of terms = n

First term = a₁

Last term = a₂

Sum of terms, Sₙ = (n/2) × (a₁ + aₙ) general form by Gauss's approach

Therefore;

The sum of 2 + 4 + 6 +...+ 2·n using the Gauss's approach is therefore;

(2 + 4 + ... + 2·n)  = n·(n + 1)

The answer would be:

Suppose 54% of the registered voters in a country are Democrats. If a sample of 770 voters is selected, what is the probability that the sample proportion of Democrats will be greater than 52%? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

0.8665 = 86.65% probability that the sample proportion of Democrats will be greater than 52%.

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 54% of the registered voters in a country are Democrats. Sample of 770.

This means that:

[tex]p = 0.54, s = \sqrt{\frac{0.54*0.46}{770}} = 0.01796[/tex]

What is the probability that the sample proportion of Democrats will be greater than 52%?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.52. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.52 - 0.54}{0.01796}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.11[/tex]

[tex]Z = -1.11[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1335

1 - 0.1335 = 0.8665

0.8665 = 86.65% probability that the sample proportion of Democrats will be greater than 52%.

#1 Which rectangular prism will have more volume (left or right) or will they be the same?


#2 What are their volumes?

Answers

Answer:

They will have the same volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rectangular prisms above :

Prism 1 dimension = (3 * 1 1/2 * 2 1/2) inches

Prism 2 dimension = (2 1/2 * 3 * 1 1/2) inches

Recall; Volume of a rectangular prism is :

V = length * width * height

Prism 1 :

V = (3 * 1 1/2 * 2 1/2) = 11.25 in³

Prism 2 :

V = (2 1/2 * 3 * 1 1/2) = 11.25 in³

Hence, Volume of prism will be the same

You will need ____ mL of the 90% solution?

PLEASE HELP!!! BRAINLIEST! FOR MY FINAL!!!

Answers

Answer:

195 mL of the 90% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of mL of 90% mixture = x

Hence, our equation is

780mL × 15% + x mL × 90% = (780mL + x) 30%

117 + 0.9x = 234 + 0.3x

Collect like terms

0.9x - 0.3x = 234 - 117

0.6x = 117

x = 117/0.6

x = 195 mL

Therefore, You will need 195 mL of the 90% solution

You have land that you would like to use to create two distinct fenced-in areas in the shape given below. You have 410 meters of fencing materials to use. What values of x and y would result in the maximum area that you can enclose

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x = \frac{205}{3}[/tex]

[tex]y =\frac{195}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p = 410[/tex] --- perimeter

See attachment for fence

Required

x and y

The perimeter of the fence is:

[tex]p = 2(x + y +5 + y) +x[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]p = 2x + 2y +10 + 2y +x[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]p = 2x+x + 2y + 2y+10[/tex]

[tex]p = 3x + 4y+10[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]p = 410[/tex]

[tex]3x + 4y+10 =410[/tex]

Make 4y the subject

[tex]4y =410-10-3x[/tex]

[tex]4y =400-3x[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y =\frac{400-3x}{4}[/tex]

The area (A) of the fence is:

[tex]A = (y + y + 5) * x[/tex]

[tex]A = (2y + 5) * x[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]y =\frac{400-3x}{4}[/tex]

[tex]A = (2*\frac{400-3x}{4} + 5) * x[/tex]

[tex]A = (\frac{400-3x}{2} + 5) * x[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]A = (\frac{400-3x+10}{2}) * x[/tex]

Solve like terms

[tex]A = (\frac{410-3x}{2}) * x[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]A = \frac{410x-3x^2}{2}[/tex]

Remove fraction

[tex]A = 205x-1.5x^2[/tex]

Differentiate both sides

[tex]A' = 205 - 3x[/tex]

To maximize; set [tex]A' =0[/tex]

[tex]205 - 3x =0[/tex]

Solve for 3x

[tex]3x = 205[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{205}{3}[/tex]

Recall that: [tex]y =\frac{400-3x}{4}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y =\frac{400-3*205/3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y =\frac{400-205}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y =\frac{195}{4}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step 1: True

1. Approximately 2000 families are in the sample.

2. False.

3. 31.2 hours.

4. False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 55th percentile is greater than or equal to 30 hours.

The median is of 31.2 hours, which means that the 50th percentile is of 31.2 hours. The 55th percentile is above the 50th percentile, and thus, the 55th percentile is greater than 31.2 hours, and thus, also greater than 30 hours, and the statement is true.

1: Approximately how many families are in the sample?

Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 20 hours or less for the week. The 12th percentile of the data is 20 hours, and thus 24 is 12% of the sample size n. So

[tex]0.12n = 24[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{24}{0.12}[/tex]

[tex]n = 2000[/tex]

Approximately 2000 families are in the sample.

2: Based on the given information, determine if the following statement is true or false. Approximately 200 families turned on their televisions for less than 35 hours.

The median, that is, the 50th percentile, is of 31.2 hours.

Thus, 35 hours is above the 50th percentile, which means that more than 1000 families(considerably more than 200) will have turned on their TVs for less than 35 hours, and this statement is false.

3: What is the value of the 50th percentile?

The median, which is of 31.2 hours.

4: Based on the given information, determine if the following statement is true or false.The first quartile is greater than or equal to 20 hours.

20 hours is the 12th percentile, which means that the first percentile is less than 20 hours, and this statement is false.

The given quadratic function is f(p) = P2 - 8P - 5 When this function is compared to the standard form, with p replacing x, we obtain a = 1 because the leading term is 1*p2, b = -8 because the linear term is -8*p, c = -5 because the constant term is -5.
