This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -1/3 and an initial term of -324. Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), in this case a=-324 and r=-1/3 so
a(n)=-324(-1/3)^(n-1) so the 5th term will be
a(5)=-324(-1/3)^4
a(5)=-324/81
a(5)= -4

A sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 10 cars needs to

Archy [21]

Answer:

0.2916, 0.1488, 0.0319

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 10 cars needs to have oil added.

Since each trial is independent there is a constant probability for any random car to need oil is 0.10

Let X be the number of cars that need oil

A) Here X is BIN(4,0.1)

$P(X=1) = 4C1(0.1)(0.9)^3 \\= 0.2916$

B) Here X is Bin (8, 0.1)

$P(x=2) = 8C2 (0.1)^2 (0.9)^6\\\\=0.1488$

C) Here X is Bin (20,5)

$P(x=5) = 20C5 (0.1)^5 (0.9)^{15} \\=0.0319$

What is (5/9×(°F-32))

djyliett [7]

Answer:

32º

Step-by-step explanation:

Fº-32 ×5/9

5/9Fº-160/9

5/9Fº =160/9

(5Fº)9=9(160)

45Fº=1440

divide both sides by 45

Fº=32

Before starting to play the roulette in a casino you want to look for biases that you can exploit. Youtherefore watch 100 rounds

Answer:

$P(n>55)=0.1357$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size n=100

Sample space n'=36

Generally the equation for the mean number of times odds appears is mathematically given by

$\=x_o=hp$

$\=x_o=100*0.5$

$\=x_o=50$

Generally the equation for standard deviation is mathematically given by

$\sigma=(hp(1-p))^{1/2}\\\sigma=(50(0.5))^{1/2}$

$\sigma=5$

Therefore probability to make wrong decision P(n>55)

$P(n>55)=1-P(z55)=1-P(z55)=1-0.86$

$P(n>55)=0.1357$
