How to find nth term of a sequence in math?
1 answer:
Salutations!
To find the nth term, you will be needing a formula.
a stands for the first term (first number in the sequence)
d stands for the difference between two terms. (always remember to subtract from the 2nd term to the 1st term)
and the n is what we are going to find
so in your sequence: 5, 10, 15, 20
5 is a (as it is the first term)
d would be 5 ( 10 -5 =5)
your nth term is
Hope this helps!
Have a great day!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a machine produces defective parts with three different probabilities depending on its state of repair.
condition Good order Wearing down Needs main Total
Prob 0.8 0.1 0.1 1
Defective 0.02 0.1 0.3
Joint prob 0.016 0.01 0.03 0.056
a) 0.016
b) total = 0.056
c) If not defective from needs maintenance
Prob for not defective =
From machine that needs maintenance = 0.07
So reqd prob =
