a_1=2;\ a_2=-6;\ a_3=18;\ a_4=-54;\ a_5=162;\ ...

-----------------------------------------------------

A recursive rule for a geometric sequence:

a_1\\\\a_n=r\cdot a_{n-1}

r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\to r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}=\dfrac{a_3}{a_2}=\dfrac{a_4}{a_3}=...\\\\r=\dfrac{-6}{2}=-3

Therefore \boxed{a_1=2;\qquad a_n=-3a_{n-1}}

-----------------------------------------------------

The exciplit rule:

a_n=a_1r^{n-1}

Substitute:

a_n=2(-3)^{n-1}=2(3)^n(3)^{-1}=2(3)^n\left(\dfrac{1}{3}\right)\\\\\boxed{a_n=\dfrac{2}{3}\left(-3)^n}

You get GPS units from two manufacturers, A and B. You get 43% of your units from A and 57% of your units from B. In the past, 2
defon

Answer:

0.5015 = 50.15% probability that it came from manufacturer A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Defective

Event B: From manufacturer A.

Probability a unit is defective:

2% of 43%(from manufacturer A)

1.5% of 57%(from manufacturer B). So

P(A) = 0.02*0.43 + 0.015*0.57 = 0.01715

Probability a unit is defective and from manufacturer A:

2% of 43%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.02*0.43 = 0.0086

What is the probability that it came from manufacturer A?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0086}{0.01715} = 0.5015

0.5015 = 50.15% probability that it came from manufacturer A.

a student found the volume of a rectangular pyramid with a base area of 92 square meters and a height of 54 Meters to be 4968 cu
Naya [18.7K]
It is not correct. 

The student found the volume by multiplying the base area with the height. He forgot to divide it by 3.

Formula to find the volume of the pyramid = 1/3 base area x height

volume = 1/3 x 92 x 54 = 1656 square meters
