Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the sequence :
23, 19, 13, 5, -5.......
From the sequence, the common difference is unequal, as their is a constant Increment in the difference after successive numbers.
19 - 23 = -4
13 - 19 = -6
5 - 13 = -8
-5 - 5= -10
Hence an constant difference of - 2 after each successive difference.
Hence, this is a quadratic sequence
With the formula
an² + bn + c
Answer:
C. -2x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiply a negative with a negative, it becomes a positive.
The constant rate = 20 ft / 5 seconds = 4 feet per second
Find the chart that shows an increase of 4 feet for every second the balloon travels.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a Poisson distribution problem with the formula;
P(x;μ) = (e^(-μ)) × (μ^(x))/x!
We are told that the grocer sells three of a certain article per week. Thus;
μ = 3
Now, we want to find out How many of these should he have in stock so that the chance of his running out within a week is less than 0.01.
This means;
P(X > k) < 0.01
This can be rewritten as;
P(X ≤ k) < 0.99
Let's try x = 8
P(8;3) = (e^(-3)) × (3^(8))/8!
P(8;3) = 0.008
But; P(X ≤ 8) = 1 - 0.008 = 0.992
This is more than 0.99 and thus is not the answer
Let's try x = 7
P(7;3) = (e^(-3)) × (3^(7))/7!
P(7;3) = 0.022
But; P(X ≤ 7) = 1 - 0.022 = 0.978
Thus is less than 0.99.
Thus, stock should be 7
