A manufacturer producing a new product, estimates the annual sales to be 9,600 units. Each year, 8% of the units that have been

sold will become inoperative. So, 9,600 units will be in use after 1 year, [9,600 0.92(9,600)] units will be in use after 2 years, and so on. How many units will be in use after n years

Answer:

After n years, 120,000(1 - 0.92ⁿ) units, will be in use.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

estimated annual sales, a = 9600 units

determine common ratio, r;

r = 1 - \frac{8}{100}\\\\r = 0.92

sum of the units in use after n years is calculated by applying sum of nth term;

S_n = \frac{a}{1-r} (1-r^n)

S_n = \frac{9600}{1-0.92} (1-0.92^n)\\\\S_n = \frac{9600}{0.08} (1-0.92^n)\\\\S_n = 120,000(1-0.92^n) \ units

Therefore, after n years, 120,000(1 - 0.92ⁿ) units, will be in use.

TV studio has brought in 9 boy kittens and 6 girl kittens for a cat food commercial. The director is going to choose 9 of these
Amanda [17]

Answer:

probability = 0.2517

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

boy kittens = 9

girl kittens = 6

choose kittens at random = 9

solution

total kitten are = 9 + 6 = 15

first we get here total no of probability that is

n(s) = 15 C 9

n(s) = \frac{15!}{9!(15-9)!}  

n(s) =5005

and

total way to chose 5 boy kittens is = 9 C 3

n(3) = \frac{9!}{3!(9-3)!}  

n(3) =  84

and

total way to chose 4 girl kittens is = 6 C 4

n(4) = \frac{6!}{4!(6-4)!}  

n(4) = 15

so

total way to chose 5 boy kittens and 4 girl kittens is

total way = 84 ×15  = 1260

so probability that the director chooses 5 boy kittens and 4 girl kittens is

probability = \frac{1260}{5005}  

probability = 0.2517
