Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the terms of a geometric sequence with n th term

$a_{n}\\$ = a $(r)^{n-1}$

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

r = 9 ÷ - 3 = - 27 ÷ 9 = 81 ÷ - 27 = - 3 ← common ratio

and a = - 3, thus

[te x]a_{n}[/tex] = - 3 $(-3)^{n-1}$ ← explicit formula

What does the line y=-2x+5 look like?

Usimov [2.4K]

$\huge{\boxed{\text{D}}}$

This line is in the format $y=mx+b$ , where $m$ is the slope.

A horizontal line has a slope of $0$ .

A vertical line has an undefined slope.

A positive slope makes the line go upwards and to the right.

<em>A negative slope makes the line go downwards and to the right.</em>

Vlad [161]

Answer

$P(A) = 0.30$

$P(B) = 0.77$

$P(A\ n\ B) = 0.22$

$P(A\ u\ B) = 0.85$

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for proper data presentation

$n = 100$ --- Sample

A = Supplier 1

B = Conforms to specification

Solving (a): P(A)

Here, we only consider data in sample 1 row.

Here:

$Yes = 22$ and $No = 8$

$n(A) = Yes + No$

$n(A) = 22 + 8$

$n(A) = 30$

P(A) is then calculated as:

$P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{Sample}$

$P(A) = \frac{30}{100}$

$P(A) = 0.30$

Solving (b): P(B)

We only consider data in the Yes column.

Here:

$(1) = 22$ $(2) = 25$ and $(3) = 30$

$n(B) = (1) + (2) + (3)$

$n(B) = 22 + 25 + 30$

$n(B) = 77$

P(B) is then calculated as:

$P(B) = \frac{n(B)}{Sample}$

$P(B) = \frac{77}{100}$

$P(B) = 0.77$

Solving (c): P(A n B)

Here, we only consider the similar cell in the yes column and sample 1 row.

i.e. [Supplier 1][Yes]

This is represented as: n(A n B)

$n(A\ n\ B) = 22$

The probability is then calculated as:

$P(A\ n\ B) = \frac{n(A\ n\ B)}{Sample}$

$P(A\ n\ B) = \frac{22}{100}$

$P(A\ n\ B) = 0.22$

Solving (d): P(A u B)

This is calculated as:

$P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B)$

This gives:

$P(A\ u\ B) = \frac{30}{100} + \frac{77}{100} - \frac{22}{100}$

Take LCM

$P(A\ u\ B) = \frac{30+77-22}{100}$

$P(A\ u\ B) = \frac{85}{100}$

$P(A\ u\ B) = 0.85$
