Answer:

Part a : 0.002744

Part b : 0.997256

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a specific engine is available when needed is 0.86.

So, The probability that fire engine will not be available when​ needed = 1-0.86=0.14

(a)

The probability that no fire engine is available when​ needed =

0.14^{3}

= 0.002744

(b)

p(at least one available) = 1-0.002744

= 0.997256

-3.6,-5.4,-8.1,-12.15 arithmetic or geometric or neither.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Geometric Sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Check the difference.

The difference between the 1st and 2nd term

( - 5.4) - ( - 3.6) =  - 1.8

The difference between the 2nd and 3rd term

( - 8.1) - ( - 5.4) =  - 2.7

The difference is not the same. Therefore, it is not an arithmetic sequence.

2. Check the ratio

The ratio between the 1st and 2nd term

( - 5.4) \div ( - 3.6) = 1.5

The ratio between the 2nd and 3rd term

( - 8.1) \div ( - 5.4) = 1.5

The ratio is the same. Therefore, it is a geometric sequence.
