\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
n&term&value\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
1&a_1&a_1\\
2&a_2&6a_1\\
3&a_3&6(6a_1)\\
&&36a_1
\end{array}\implies \stackrel{\textit{3rd term is 24}}{36a_1=24}
\\\\\\
a_1=\cfrac{24}{36}\implies  a_1=\cfrac{2}{3}

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}
\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
r=6\\
a_1=\frac{2}{3}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\boxed{a_n=\cfrac{2}{3}\cdot 6^{n-1}}

Box of 15 gadgets is known to contain 5 defective gadgets if 4 gadgets are drawn at random what is the probability of finding no
baherus [9]

To solve this problem, we make use of the Binomial Probability equation which is mathematically expressed as:

P = [n! / r! (n – r)!] p^r * q^(n – r)

where,

n = the total number of gadgets = 4

r = number of samples = 1 and 2 (since not more than 2)

p = probability of success of getting a defective gadget

q = probability of failure = 1 – p

 

Calculating for p:

p = 5 / 15 = 0.33

So,

q = 1 – 0.33 = 0.67

 

Calculating for P when r = 1:

P (r = 1) = [4! / 1! 3!] 0.33^1 * 0.67^3

P (r = 1) = 0.3970

 

 

Calculating for P when r = 2:

P (r = 2) = [4! / 2! 2!] 0.33^2 * 0.67^2

P (r = 2) = 0.2933

 

Therefore the total probability of not getting more than 2 defective gadgets is:

P = 0.3970 + 0.2933

P = 0.6903

 

Hence there is a 0.6903 chance or 69.03% probability of not getting more than 2 defective gadgets.

Write down the first five terms of the geometric progression with
Vilka [71]

Step-by-step explanation:

s1 = 3

s2 = 3×2 = 6

s3 = 6×2 = 12

s4 = 12×2 = 24

s5 = 24×2 = 48

sn = sn-1 × 2 = s1 × 2^(n-1)

s17 = 3 × 2¹⁶ = 3 × 65,536 = 196,608
