Answer:

2 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula :

an= 2(-1.2)^n

At n = 1

a(1) = 2(-1.2)^1 = 2(-1.2) = - 2.4

At n = 2

a(2) = 2(-1.2)^2 = 2(-1.2)^2 ; 2 * 1.44 = 2.88

At n = 3

a(3) = 2(-1.2)^3 = 2(−1.728) ; 2 * - 1.728 = - 3.456

Number of negative numbers from first three term = 2

P(choosing a negative term) =

Number of negative numbers from first three term / total number of terms

= 2/3

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The installations at the Maumee branch would you expect to take more than 30 minutes is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let x is the installations at the Maumee branch take more than 30 minutes.

The work standards department at corporate headquarters recently conducted a study and found that 20% of the mufflers were not installed in 30 minutes or less.

Therefore, π=0.20

The Maumee branch installed 50 mufflers last month.

Thus, n=50

Mean of the distribution: μ=nπ

Substitute the respective values in the above formula.

μ=(50)(0.20)

μ=10

Hence, the installations at the Maumee branch would you expect to take more than 30 minutes is 10.

How do i find the slope​
sveta [45]

Answer:

slope = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

y - 4 = - 7(x - 6) ← is in point- slope form

with slope m = - 7

Leah walks to soccer practice on Saturday. She leaves her home and walks 600 meters north. Leah then turns east and continues on
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

800m

Step-by-step explanation:

this would be solved using Pythagoras theorem

we are to find the base

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c =  hypotenuse

600² + b² = 100²

b² = 10000 - 3600

b² = 6400

take the square root of both sides

b = 800m
