Hello,

2/10,-6/100,18/1000,-54/10000,162/100000;...

a(n+1)/a(n)=-3/10
a(0)=2/10*1

a(n)=2/10* (-3/10)^(n-1)

Answer:

B: $a_n= 0.2(-0.3)^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric sequence

0.2, -0.06, 0.018,-0.0054,0.00162....

General explicit formula is $a_n= a_1(r)^{n-1}$

Where r is the common ratio and a1 is the first term

a1 is 0.2 (first term)

we need to find out common ratio 'r'

To find 'r' divide second term by first term

$\frac{-0.06}{0.2} =-0.3$

Plug in the values in the general formula

$a_n= a_1(r)^{n-1}$

$a_n= 0.2(-0.3)^{n-1}$

Answer:

1. $P(s_1|I)=\frac{1}{11}$

2. $P(s_2|I)=\frac{8}{11}$

3. $P(s_3|I)=\frac{2}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

$P(s_1)=0.1, P(s_2)=0.6, P(s_3)=0.3$

$P(I|s_1)=0.15,P(I|s_2)=0.2,P(I|s_3)=0.1$

(1)

We need to find the value of P(s₁|I).

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{(0.15)(0.1)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{0.015}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{0.015}{0.165}$

$P(s_1|I)=\frac{1}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₁|I) is $\frac{1}{11}$ .

(2)

We need to find the value of P(s₂|I).

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{P(I|s_2)P(s_2)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{(0.2)(0.6)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{0.12}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{0.12}{0.165}$

$P(s_2|I)=\frac{8}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₂|I) is $\frac{8}{11}$ .

(3)

We need to find the value of P(s₃|I).

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}{P(I|s_1)P(s_1)+P(I|s_2)P(s_2)+P(I|s_3)P(s_3)}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{(0.1)(0.3)}{(0.15)(0.1)+(0.2)(0.6)+(0.1)(0.3)}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{0.03}{0.015+0.12+0.03}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{0.03}{0.165}$

$P(s_3|I)=\frac{2}{11}$

Therefore the value of P(s₃|I) is $\frac{2}{11}$ .

Solve each of the following for the indicated variable.a. 9 − 6 = 54 for yb. = 2 + 2 for l

marta [7]

Answer:

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{9}{6}x-9 \\ l=\frac{P}{2}-w \end{gathered}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the following equations, we need to isolate the variable asked using inverse operations to solve equations.

Remember that addition and subtraction are inverse operations, as multiplication and division.

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} a\text{. Solve for y} \\ 6y=9x-54 \\ y=\frac{9}{6}x-\frac{54}{6} \\ y=\frac{9}{6}x-9 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} b\text{. Solve for l} \\ P=2l+2w \\ 2l=P-2w \\ l=\frac{P}{2}-\frac{2}{2}w \\ l=\frac{P}{2}-w \end{gathered}$
