Suppose that a sample of 38 employees at a large company were surveyed and asked how many hours a week they thought the company wasted on unnecessary meetings. The mean number of hours these employees stated was 12.4 with a standard deviation of 5.1. Calculate a 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean amount of time all employees at this company believe is wasted on unnecessary meetings each week.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the four apples you took away.

step-by-step explanation:

(a) {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …}

(b) $59 398

step-by-step explanation:

(a) the annual sequence of profits

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

the model for the sequence of profits is {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …} .

(b) profit after 15 yr

  a₁ = $ 30 000

  r = 1.05

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.05¹⁴

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.979 93

a₁₅ = $59 398

the profit in year 15 will be $59 398.
