Answer:
0.9855 or 98.55%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of each individual match being flawed is p = 0.008. The probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is the same as the probability of a matchbox having exactly one or exactly zero matches with a flaw:
The probability that a matchbox will have one or fewer matches with a flaw is 0.9855 or 98.55%.
Answer:
Explicit form:
Recursive form: with
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term is 3 and we are dividing by 3 each time.
Another way to say we are dividing by 3 each time is to say we are multiplying by factors of 1/3.
If the first term is and
is the common ratio then the geometric sequence in explicit form is:
The recursive form for a geometric sequence is with
where
is the common ratio and
is the first term.
So the recursive form for our sequence is with
.
