gladu [14]3 years ago

Answer: The right  answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Write out the expression

T1; a = 0.3 ------------ (I)

T8; ar^7 = 38.4 ------------ (ii)

Substituting for 'a' in the second equation, we have;

0.3r^7 = 38.4

0.3r^7 = 38.4

Divide both sides by 0.3

r^7 = 38.4/0.3

r^7 = 128

r = (128)^1/7

r = 2

What is the equation, in standard form, of a parabola that models the values in the table?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

  b.  4x^2 + 3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of f(x) for the extremes of x are more positive than the value of f(x) for the middle x, so we know the parabola opens upward. That eliminates choice D.

It is probably easiest to evaluate the other expressions to see which one matches the given f(x) values. For the purpose, it is usually easier to use the Horner form of the equation.

a. f(-2) = (3(-2) +4)(-2) -6 = -2(-2) -6 = -2 ≠ 4

b. f(-2) = (4(-2) +3)(-2) -6 = -5(-2) -6 = 4 . . . . matches the given data point

c. Because (b) matches, we know this one will not.

The appropriate choice is B.

Past records indicate that the probability of online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent is 0.08. Suppose that, on a gi
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The probability that there are 2 or more fraudulent online retail orders in the sample is 0.483.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this with a binomial random variable, with sample size n=20 and probability of success p=0.08.

The probability of k online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent in the sample is:

P(x=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\dbinom{20}{k}\cdot0.08^k\cdot0.92^{20-k}

We have to calculate the probability that 2 or more online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent. This can be calculated as:

P(x\geq2)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)]\\\\\\P(x=0)=\dbinom{20}{0}\cdot0.08^{0}\cdot0.92^{20}=1\cdot1\cdot0.189=0.189\\\\\\P(x=1)=\dbinom{20}{1}\cdot0.08^{1}\cdot0.92^{19}=20\cdot0.08\cdot0.205=0.328\\\\\\\\P(x\geq2)=1-[0.189+0.328]\\\\P(x\geq2)=1-0.517=0.483

The probability that there are 2 or more fraudulent online retail orders in the sample is 0.483.
