Answer:

$a_{n}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$ $a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive rule allows us to find the term in a sequence from the previous term by multiplying it by the common ratio.

The common ratio r for the geometric sequence is

r = $\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{2}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$

Thus the recursive rule is

$a_{n}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$ $a_{n-1}$ with a₁ = 2

Suppose there are 4 defective batteries in a drawer with 10 batteries in it. A sample of 3 is taken at random without replacemen

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a.) 0.5

b.) 0.66

c.) 0.83

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Total Number of Batteries in the drawer = 10

Total Number of defective Batteries in the drawer = 4

⇒Total Number of non - defective Batteries in the drawer = 10 - 4 = 6

Now,

As, a sample of 3 is taken at random without replacement.

a.)

Getting exactly one defective battery means -

1 - from defective battery

2 - from non-defective battery

So,

Getting exactly 1 defective battery = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = $\frac{4!}{1! (4 - 1 )!}$ × $\frac{6!}{2! (6 - 2 )!}$

= $\frac{4!}{(3)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{2! (4)!}$

= $\frac{4.3!}{(3)!}$ × $\frac{6.5.4!}{2! (4)!}$

= $4$ × $\frac{6.5}{2.1! }$

= $4$ × $15$ = 60

Total Number of possibility = ¹⁰C₃ = $\frac{10!}{3! (10-3)!}$

= $\frac{10!}{3! (7)!}$

= $\frac{10.9.8.7!}{3! (7)!}$

= $\frac{10.9.8}{3.2.1!}$

= 120

So, probability = $\frac{60}{120} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

b.)

at most one defective battery :

⇒either the defective battery is 1 or 0

If the defective battery is 1 , then 2 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = 60

If the defective battery is 0 , then 3 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₀ × ⁶C₃

= $\frac{4!}{0! (4 - 0)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{3! (6 - 3)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{(4)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{3! (3)!}$

= 1 × $\frac{6.5.4.3!}{3.2.1! (3)!}$

= 1× $\frac{6.5.4}{3.2.1! }$

= 1 × 20 = 20

getting at most 1 defective battery = 60 + 20 = 80

Probability = $\frac{80}{120} = \frac{8}{12} = 0.66$

c.)

at least one defective battery :

⇒either the defective battery is 1 or 2 or 3

If the defective battery is 1 , then 2 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = 60

If the defective battery is 2 , then 1 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₂ × ⁶C₁

= $\frac{4!}{2! (4 - 2)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{1! (6 - 1)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{2! (2)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{1! (5)!}$

= $\frac{4.3.2!}{2! (2)!}$ × $\frac{6.5!}{1! (5)!}$

= $\frac{4.3}{2.1!}$ × $\frac{6}{1}$

= 6 × 6 = 36

If the defective battery is 3 , then 0 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₃ × ⁶C₀

= $\frac{4!}{3! (4 - 3)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{0! (6 - 0)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{3! (1)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{(6)!}$

= $\frac{4.3!}{3!}$ × 1

= 4×1 = 4

getting at most 1 defective battery = 60 + 36 + 4 = 100

Probability = $\frac{100}{120} = \frac{10}{12} = 0.83$

Evaluate the integral e^xy w region d xy=1, xy=4, x/y=1, x/y=2

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Make a change of coordinates:

$u(x,y)=xy$
$v(x,y)=\dfrac xy$

The Jacobian for this transformation is

$\mathbf J=\begin{bmatrix}\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial x}&\dfrac{\partial v}{\partial x}\\\\\dfrac{\partial u}{\partial y}&\dfrac{\partial v}{\partial y}\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}y&x\\\\\dfrac1y&-\dfrac x{y^2}\end{bmatrix}$

and has a determinant of

$\det\mathbf J=-\dfrac{2x}y$

Note that we need to use the Jacobian in the other direction; that is, we've computed

$\mathbf J=\dfrac{\partial(u,v)}{\partial(x,y)}$

but we need the Jacobian determinant for the reverse transformation (from $(x,y)$ to $(u,v)$ . To do this, notice that

$\dfrac{\partial(x,y)}{\partial(u,v)}=\dfrac1{\dfrac{\partial(u,v)}{\partial(x,y)}}=\dfrac1{\mathbf J}$

we need to take the reciprocal of the Jacobian above.

The integral then changes to

$\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal W_{(x,y)}}e^{xy}\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=\iint_{\mathcal W_{(u,v)}}\dfrac{e^u}{|\det\mathbf J|}\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
$=\displaystyle\frac12\int_{v=}^{v=}\int_{u=}^{u=}\frac{e^u}v\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv=\frac{(e^4-e)\ln2}2$
