Given:
The geometric sequence is:
1 -4
2 20
3 -100
To find:
The explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.
Solution:
The explicit formula of a geometric sequence is:
...(i)
Where, a is the first term, r is the common ratio and .
In the given sequence the first term is -4 and the second term is 20, so the common ratio is:
Putting in (i), we get
where
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Answer:
0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
is the mean in the given interval.
Mean of 0.6 times a day
7 day week, so
What is the probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times? Round your answer to four decimal places.
In which
So
0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.
