A boat travels 45 miles east then 60 miles north, how far is it from where it started. Draw this. The hypotenuse of the right triangle is the square root (45^2)+(60^2)=square root of 2025=3600=square root of 5625, or 75 miles.
Given
- f(n) values for n=1,2,3,4
- possible candidates for the function
Solution:
Method: Evaluate some of the values, for each function. A function with ANY value not matching the given f(n) values will be rejected.
N=1, f(n)=4
f(1)=4-3(1-1)=4
f(1)=4+3^(1+1)=4+3^2=4+9=13 ≠ 4 [rejected]
f(1)=4(3^(n-1))=4(3^0)=4
f(1)=3(4^(n-1))=3(4^0)=3*1=3 [rejected]
N=2, f(n)=12
f(1)=4-3(2-1)=4-3(1)=1 ≠ 12 [rejected]
[rejected]
f(1)=4(3^(2-1)=4*3^1=4*3=12
[rejected]
Will need to check one more to be sure
N=3, f(n)=3
[rejected]
[rejected]
f(3)=4(3^(n-1))=4(3^(3-1))=4(3^2)=4*9=36 [Good]
[rejected]
Solution: f(n)=4(3^(n-1))
Answer:
Probability of a sample that contains exactly two defective parts is .0037 or .37%
Step-by-step explanation:
As we know if P is the probability of achieving k results in n trials then probability formula is P = 
In this formula n = number of trials
k = number of success
(n-k) = number of failures
p = probability of success in one trial
q = (1-p) = probability of failure in one trial
In this sum n = 5
k = 2
number failures (n-k) = (5-2) = 3
p = 2% which can be written as .02
q = 98% Which can be written as .98
Now putting these values in the formula
P = 
P = 
= 5×4×3×2×1/3×2×1×2×1
= 5×2 =10
P = 10×(.02)²×(.98)³
= .0037 or .37%
