1. Which represents the type of sequence: -99, -96, -92, -87, -81, …?

1 answer:

8 0

So here are the answers for the given questions above:
1. Based on the given values above, the correct answer would be option B. NEITHER ARITHMETIC NOR GEOMETRIC. Why? When we say arithmetic sequence, the values should have a common difference which remains constant all throughout the sequence, and this sequence does not qualify. On the other hand, a geometric sequence should have a common ratio, and these numbers do not have one.
2. The correct answer for this problem would be option C. 121,520.
Based on the given values above, the values have a common ratio of 1.1. So what we are going to do is just to multiply 1.1 each time and by 2016, we will get 121,520.
Hope these answers help.

Is the sequence Arithmetic or Geometric? -2, 4.-8, 16, ...

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

This is an geometric sequence because the common ratio is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

-2*-2=4

4*-2=-8

-8*-2=16

So, as we are seeing that the common ratio is -2, so this is an geometric sequence.

When circuit boards used in the manufacture of compact disc players are tested, the long-run percentage of defectives is 5%. Let

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(a) The value of P (X ≤ 2) is 0.8729.

(b) The value of P (X ≥ 5) is 0.0072.

(d) The probability that none of the 25 boards is defective is 0.2774.

(e) The expected value and standard deviation of X are 1.25 and 1.09 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is defined as the number of defective boards.

The probability that a circuit board is defective is, p = 0.05.

The sample of boards selected is of size, n = 25.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={25\choose x}0.05^{x}(1-0.05)^{25-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(a)

Compute the value of P (X ≤ 2) as follows:

P (X ≤ 2) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2)

$P(X\leq =x)=\sum\limits^{2}_{x=0}{{25\choose x}0.05^{x}(1-0.05)^{25-x}}\\=0.2774+0.3650+0.2305\\=0.8729$

Thus, the value of P (X ≤ 2) is 0.8729.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 5) as follows:

P (X ≥ 5) = 1 - P (X < 5)

$=1-\sum\limits^{4}_{x=0}{{25\choose x}0.05^{x}(1-0.05)^{25-x}}\\=1-0.9928\\=0.0072$

Thus, the value of P (X ≥ 5) is 0.0072.

(c)

Compute the value of P (1 ≤ X ≤ 4) as follows:

P (1 ≤ X ≤ 4) = P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 4)

$=\sum\limits^{4}_{x=1}{{25\choose x}0.05^{x}(1-0.05)^{25-x}}\\=0.3650+0.2305+0.0930+0.0269\\=0.7154$

Thus, the value of P (1 ≤ X ≤ 4) is 0.7154.

(d)

Compute the value of P (X = 0) as follows:

$P(X=0)={25\choose 0}0.05^{0}(1-0.05)^{25-0}=1\times 1\times 0.277389=0.2774$

Thus, the probability that none of the 25 boards is defective is 0.2774.

(e)

Compute the expected value of X as follows:

$E(X)=np=25\times 0.05=1.25$

Compute the standard deviation of X as follows:

$SD(X)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{25\times 0.05\times (1-0.05)}=1.09$

Thus, the expected value and standard deviation of X are 1.25 and 1.09 respectively.
