Answer:

x = -56

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 1 = 169

-1 -1

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

-3x = 168

Divide both sides by -3. 168/-3 = -56

x = -56

A corporation has 11 manufacturing plants. Of these, seven are domestic and four are outside the United States. Each year a perf

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The probability that a performance evaluation will include at least one plant outside the United States is 0.836.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total plants = 11

Domestic plants = 7

Outside the US plants = 4

Suppose X is the number of plants outside the US which are selected for the performance evaluation. We need to compute the probability that at least 1 out of the 4 plants selected are outside the United States i.e. P(X≥1). To compute this, we will use the binomial distribution formula:

P(X=x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

where n = total no. of trials

x = no. of successful trials

p = probability of success

q = probability of failure

Here we have n=4, p=4/11 and q=7/11

P(X≥1) = 1 - P(X<1)

= 1 - P(X=0)

= 1 - ⁴C₀ * (4/11)⁰ * (7/11)⁴⁻⁰

= 1 - 0.16399

P(X≥1) = 0.836

The probability that a performance evaluation will include at least one plant outside the United States is 0.836.

Identify whether the series sigma notation infinity i=1 15(4)^i-1 is a convergent or divergent geometric series and find the sum

const2013 [10]

Answer: The correct option is

(d) This is a divergent geometric series. The sum cannot be found.

Step-by-step explanation: The given infinite geometric series is

$S=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}15(4)^{i-1}.$

We are to identify whether the given geometric series is convergent or divergent. If convergent, we are to find the sum of the series.

We have the D' Alembert's ratio test, states as follows:

Let, $\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}a_i$ is an infinite series, with complex coefficients $a_i$ and we consider the following limit:

$L=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{a_{i+1}}{a_i}.$

Then, the series will be convergent if L < 1 and divergent if L > 1.

For the given series, we have

$a_i=15(4)^{i-1},\\\\a_{i+1}=15(4)^i.$

So, the limit is given by

$L\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{a_{i+1}}{a_i}\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{15(4)^i}{15(4)^{i-1}}\\\\\\=\lim_{i\rightarrow \infty}\dfrac{15(4)^i}{15(4)^{i}4^{-1}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4^{-1}}\\\\=4>1.$

Therefore, L >1, and so the given series is divergent and hence we cannot find the sum.

Thuds, (d) is the correct option.
