The sum of first three terms of a finite geometric series is -7/10 and their product is -1/125. [Hint: Use a/r, a, and ar to rep

Alchen [17]

Ooh, fun

geometric sequences can be represented as
$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$
so the first 3 terms are
$a_1=a$
$a_2=a(r)$
$a_2=a(r)^2$

the sum is -7/10
$\frac{-7}{10}=a+ar+ar^2$
and their product is -1/125
$\frac{-1}{125}=(a)(ar)(ar^2)=a^3r^3=(ar)^3$

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{ar}{r}+ar+(ar)r$
subsituting -1/5 for ar
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{\frac{-1}{5}}{r}+\frac{-1}{5}+(\frac{-1}{5})r$
which simplifies to
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{-1}{5r}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-r}{5}$
multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for $ax^2+bx+c=0$
$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2

$r=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(2)}}{2(2)}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-16}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm 3}{4}$
so
$r=\frac{5+3}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2$ or $r=\frac{5-3}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

use them to solve for the value of a
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
$\frac{-1}{5r}=a$
try for r=2 and 1/2
$a=\frac{-1}{10}$ or $a=\frac{-2}{5}$

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-1}{10}+\frac{-2}{10}+\frac{-4}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-2}{5}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-1}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

both have the same terms but one is simplified

the 3 numbers are $\frac{-2}{5}$ , $\frac{-1}{5}$ , and $\frac{-1}{10}$

A consumer products company found that 42% of successful products also received favorable results from test market research, w

blagie [28]

Answer:

(1) The probability of a successful product given the product is favorable is 0.7778.

(2) The probability of a successful product given the product is unfavorable is 0.2391.

(3) The probability of a unsuccessful product given the product is favorable is 0.2222.

(4) The probability of a unsuccessful product given the product is favorable is 0.7609.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

S = a product is successful.

F = a product is favorable.

The information provided is:

$P(S\cap F)=0.42\\P(S\cap F^{c})=0.11\\P(S^{c}\cap F)=0.12\\P(S^{c}\cap F^{c})=0.35\\$

The law of total probability states that:

$P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^{c})$

Use the law of total probability to compute the probability of a favorable product as follows:

$P(F)=P(S\cap F)+P(S^{c}\cap F)\\=0.42+0.12\\=0.54$

The probability of a favorable product is 0.54.

The conditional probability of an event A given that another event B has already occurred is:

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$

(1)

Compute the value of P (S|F) as follows:

$P(S|F)=\frac{P(S\cap F)}{P(F)}=\frac{0.42}{0.54}=0.7778$

Thus, the probability of a successful product given the product is favorable is 0.7778.

(2)

Compute the value of $P(S|F^{c})$ as follows:

$P(S|F^{c})=\frac{P(S\cap F^{c})}{P(F^{c})}=\frac{0.11}{(1-0.54)}=0.2391$

Thus, the probability of a successful product given the product is unfavorable is 0.2391.

(3)

Compute the value of $P (S^{c}|F)$ as follows:

$P (S^{c}|F)=\frac{P(S^{c}\cap F)}{P(F)}=\frac{0.12}{0.54}=0.2222$

Thus, the probability of a unsuccessful product given the product is favorable is 0.2222.

(4)

Compute the value of $P (S^{c}|F^{c})$ as follows:

$P (S^{c}|F)=\frac{P(S^{c}\cap F^{c})}{P(F^{c})}=\frac{0.35}{(1-0.54)}=0.7609$

Thus, the probability of a unsuccessful product given the product is favorable is 0.7609.
