Answer:

0.1225

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Machines = 20

Defective Machines = 7

Required

Probability that two selected (with replacement) are defective.

The first step is to define an event that a machine will be defective.

Let M represent the selected machine sis defective.

P(M) = 7/20

Provided that the two selected machines are replaced;

The probability is calculated as thus

P(Both) = P(First Defect) * P(Second Defect)

From tge question, we understand that each selection is replaced before another selection is made.

This means that the probability of first selection and the probability of second selection are independent.

And as such;

P(First Defect) = P (Second Defect) = P(M) = 7/20

So;

P(Both) = P(First Defect) * P(Second Defect)

PBoth) = 7/20 * 7/20

P(Both) = 49/400

P(Both) = 0.1225

Hence, the probability that both choices will be defective machines is 0.1225

Consider the sequence of numbers: 3/8, 3/4, 1 /18, 1 1/2, 1 7/8
vredina [299]

Question:

Consider the sequence of numbers: \frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}

Which statement is a description of the sequence?

(A) The sequence is recursive, where each term is 1/4 greater than its preceding term.

(B) The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3/8 .

(C) The sequence is arithmetic, where each pair of terms has a constant difference of 3/4 .

(D) The sequence is arithmetic and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n)3/8.

Answer:

Option B:

The sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function

f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8}  .

Explanation:

A sequence of numbers are

\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, 1\frac{1}{8}, 1\frac{1}{2}, 1\frac{7}{8}

Let us first change mixed fraction into improper fraction.

\frac{3}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{9}{8}, \frac{3}{2}, \frac{15}{8}

To find the pattern of the sequence.

To find the common difference between the sequence of numbers.

\frac{3}{4}-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{6}{8}-\frac{3}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

\frac{9}{8}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{6}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

\frac{3}{2}-\frac{9}{8}=\frac{12}{8}-\frac{9}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

\frac{15}{8}-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{15}{8}-\frac{12}{8}= \frac{3}{8}

Therefore, the common difference of the sequence is 3.

That means each term is obtained by adding \frac{3}{8} to the previous term.

Hence, the sequence is recursive and can be represented by the function f(n + 1) = f(n) + \frac{3}{8}  .

A hydro company is laying down power lines in the ground. They have two sections of cable so far that are 325.0 m and 430.0 m lo
Hoochie [10]

The length of extra cable that is required to connect the two pieces of existing cable is equal to 182 meters.

<h3>How to determine the length of extra cable?</h3>

In order to determine the length of extra cable that is required to connect the two pieces of existing cable, we would apply the law of cosine as follows:

B² = A² + C² - 2(A)(C)cosB

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

B² = 325.0² + 430.0² - 2(325.0)(430.0)cos23

B² = 105,625 + 184,900 - 279,500(0.9205)

B² = 290,525 - 257,279.75

B² = 33,245.25

B = √33,245.25

B = 182.33 ≈ 182 meters.
