(a) What is an alternating series? An alternating series is a Correct: Your answer is correct. whose terms are Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. . (b) Under what conditions does an alternating series converge? An alternating series [infinity] an n = 1 = [infinity] (−1)n − 1bn, n = 1 where bn = |an|, converges if 0 < bn + 1 ≤ bn for all n, and lim n → [infinity] bn = . (c) If these conditions are satisfied, what can you say about the remainder after n terms? The error involved in using the partial sum sn as an approximation to the total sum s is the Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. Rn = s − sn and the size of the error is Correct: Your answer is correct. bn + 1.

(20 points) a bank has been receiving complaints from real estate agents that their customers have been waiting too long for mortgage confirmations. the bank prides itself on its mortgage application process and decides to investigate the claims. the bank manager takes a random sample of 20 customers whose mortgage applications have been processed in the last 6 months and finds the following wait times (in days): 5, 7, 22, 4, 12, 9, 9, 14, 3, 6, 5, 15, 10, 17, 12, 10, 9, 4, 10, 13 assume that the random variable x measures the number of days a customer waits for mortgage processing at this bank, and assume that x is normally distributed. 2a. find the sample mean of this data (x ě…). 2b. find the sample variance of x. find the variance of x ě…. for (c), (d), and (e), use the appropriate t-distribution 2c. find the 90% confidence interval for the population mean (îľ). 2d. test the hypothesis that îľ is equal to 7 at the 95% confidence level. (should you do a one-tailed or two-tailed test here? ) 2e. what is the approximate p-value of this hypothesis?
