A geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers where the next term equals to the previous term multiplied by a common factor (for example, (3, 6, 12, 24, ...)
is a geometric sequence with the first term ”3” and the common factor ”2”). If
the 5th term of a geometric sequence is 24 and the 7th term is 144, what is the
first term of the sequence?
(A) 2
(B) 3/2
(C) 2/3
(D) 1/3
(E) 1/4

People end up tossing 12% of what they buy at the grocery store. assume this is the true population proportion and that you plan to take a sample survey of 540 grocery shoppers to further investigate their behavior. a. calculate the mean and the standard error for the sample proportion p. b. describe the sampling distribution of p in part a. draw a graph of this probability distribution with its mean and standard deviation. what is the probability that your survey will provide a sample proportion more than 15%? c. d. population proportion? what is the probability that your survey will provide a sample proportion within + 0.03 of the
