Given the arithmetic sequence an= 2 - 3(n - 1), what is the domain for n?

wel

Generally we use n as a counter and begin it with 1: the first term is obtained when n = 1. Thus, n must be a positive integer, 1 or greater: {1, 2, 3, ... }.

An ice cream factory makes 100 quarts of ice cream in 5 hours how many quarts could be made in 36 hours

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

720 Quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{100}{5} = \frac{x}{36}$

cross multiply

$\frac{100}{5}*\frac{36}{36} = \frac{x}{36}*\frac{5}{5}\\\\\frac{3,600}{180}=\frac{5x}{180}$

now that they are both divided by 180, we can eliminate it

$3,600=5x\\\\\frac{3,600}{5}=\frac{5x}{5}\\\\720=x$

A new medical test provides a false positive result for hepatitis 2% of the time that is a perfectly healthy subject being teste

Oxana [17]

Given that X be the number of subjects who test positive for the disease out of the 30 healthy subjects used for the test.

The probability of success, i.e. the probability that a healthy subject tests positive is given as 2% = 0.02

Part A:

The probability that all 30 subjects will appropriately test as not being infected, that is the probability that none of the healthy subjects will test positive is given by:

 $P(X)={ ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}} \\ \\ P(0)={ ^{30}C_0(0.02)^0(1-0.02)^{30-0}} \\ \\ =1(1)(0.98)^{30}=0.5455$


Part B:

The mean of a binomial distribution is given by

 $\mu=np \\ \\ =30(0.02) \\ \\ =0.6$

The standard deviation is given by:

 $\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(1-0.02)} \\ \\ =\sqrt{30(0.02)(0.98)}=\sqrt{0.588} \\ \\ =0.7668$


Part C:

This test will not be a trusted test in the field of medicine as it has a standard deviation higher than the mean. The testing method will not be consistent in determining the infection of hepatitis.
