Answer:

The common ratio for the geometric sequence is:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the terms of geometric sequence is given as:

a,ar,ar^2,ar^3,...

where a is the first term and r is the common ratio

Here, a=3

and fifth term of geometric sequence=48

i.e. ar^4=48

3r^4=48\\\\r^4=16\\\\r^4=2^4\\\\r=2

Hence, the common ratio for the geometric sequence is:

2

The ratio is common, so you could write:

a1 * r^4 = a^5 (you do r^4 because there are 4 times you need to multiply by the ratio to get from a1 to a5)

Plug in the values:

3 * r^4 = 48

Divide by 3:

r^4 = 16

Take the fourth root of both sides:

r = 2

The common ratio is 2.

Karolina [17]

The probability that he receives an invitation to work in a bank given that he defends his diploma excellently is \mathbf{0. \overline 6}

The known parameters are;

The probability that a graduate of the Faculty of Finance will defend the diploma excellently, P(A) = 0.6

The probability that he will defend perfectly and receive an invitation to work at a bank, P(A∩B) = 0.4

The unknown parameter is;

The probability that the student will receive an invitation from the bank given that the student defend the diploma excellent, \mathbf {P(B \ | \ A)}

The process

\mathbf{ P(B \ | \ A)} is found using the conditional probability formula as follows;

\mathbf {P(B \ | \ A) = \dfrac{P(A \cap B) }{P(A)}}

Plugging in the values, we get;

P(B \ | \ A) = \dfrac{0.4 }{0.6} = \dfrac{2}{3} = 0. \overline 6

The probability that the student will receive an invitation from the bank given that the student defend the diploma excellent, P(B \ | \ A) = \mathbf {0. \overline 6}
