A container contains 10 diesel engines. the company chooses 8 engines at​ random, and will not ship the container if any of the

engines chosen are defective. find the probability that a container will be shipped even though it contains 2 defectives if the sample size is 8.

Answer:

16/25

Step-by-step explanation:

We just have to find the probability that the 8 non-defects are chosen.

1. Chance first defect is undetected: 8/10 = <em>4/5</em>

2. Chance second defect is undetected: <em>4/5</em>

3. Total probability': 4/5 * 4/5 = 16/25

Find the measure of angle a
quester [9]

Answer is 49.2

Total of all angles = 360

(x+16) + (x) + ( 6x-4) + (2x+16) = 360

10x + 28 = 360

X= 33.2

Angle A = x+16= 33.2+16= 49.2

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

2(n+1)+2

You start with two greens and two columns of two orange squares while adding two orange squares each time. So, the bolded part is the green squares that stay the same. The 2(n+1) represents the two orange columns that increase by one block on each side per image.

Here are some values of sequence Q. Write a recursive definition for the sequence.
Rashid [163]

Answer: Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 values of the sequence Q(n)

These values are:

Q(1) = 3

Q(3) = 8

Q(7) = 18

I would think that this is a geometric sequence.

Remember that the equation for the n-th term of a geometric sequence is:

A(n) = A(1)*r^(n-1)

where r is a constant, and A(1) is the first term of the sequence.

If we rewrite the terms that we know of Q(n) in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1)*r^(3 - 1) = 3*r^2 = 8

Q(7) = Q(1)*r^(7 - 1) = 3*r^6 = 18

Then we have two equations:

3*r^2 = 8

3*r^6 = 18

We should see if r is the same for both equations:

in the first one we get:

r^2 = 8/3

r = (8/3)^(1/2) = 1.63

and in the other equation we get:

r^6 = 18/3

r = (18/3)^(1/6) = 1.34

Then this is not a geometric sequence.

Now let's see if this is an arithmetic sequence.

The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is written as:

A(n) = A(1) + (n - 1)*d

where d is a constant.

If we write the terms of Q(n) that we know in this way we get:

Q(3) = Q(1) + (3 - 1)*d = 3 + 2*d = 8

Q(7) = Q(1) + (7 - 1)*d = 3 + 6*d = 18

We need to see if d is the same value for both equations.

in the first one we get:

3 + 2*d = 8

2*d = 8 - 3 = 5

d = 5/2 = 2.5

In the second equation we get:

3 + 6*d = 18

6*d = 18 - 3 = 15

d = 15/6 = 2.5

d is the same for both terms, then this is an arithmetic sequence.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is always the same value (d)

Then the recursive relation is written as:

A(n) = A(n - 1) + d

Then the recursive relation for Q is:

Q(n) = Q(n - 1) + 2.5
