Answer:

a1 = -4

an = an-1 * 6

Step-by-step explanation:

-4, -24, -144, -864, ...

First find the common ratio

Take the second term and divide by the first term

-24/-4 = 6

The common ratio is 6

The recursive formula is

a1 = -4

an = an-1 * 6

Determine whether quantities vary directly or inversely and find the constant of variation. A mill processes 27 tons of flour in

amid [387]

T = kh where t = tons and h = hours, k is the constant of variation

This is direct variation.

27 = k*3

= 27/3 = 9

Equation of variation is t = 9h

Amount produced in 8 hours t = 9*8 = 72 tons Answer

The number of electrical outages in a city varies from day to day. Assume that the number of electrical outages ( x ) in the cit

forsale [732]

Answer:

Therefore, the mean and the standard deviation for the number of electrical outages (respectively) are 0.26 and 0.5765 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the probability distribution table below:

$\left|\begin{array}{c|cccc}x&0&1&2&3\\P(x)&0.8&0.15&0.04&0.01\end{array}\right|$

(a)Mean

Expected Value, $\mu =\sum x_iP(x_i)$

=(0*0.8)+(1*0.15)+(2*0.04)+(3*0.01)

=0+0.15+0.08+0.03

Mean=0.26

(b)Standard Deviation

$(x-\mu)^2\\(0-0.26)^2=0.0676\\(1-0.26)^2=0.5476\\(2-0.26)^2=3.0276\\(3-0.26)^2=7.5076$

Standard Deviation $=\sqrt{\sum (x-\mu)^2P(x)}$

$=\sqrt{0.0676*0.8+0.5476*0.15+3.0276*0.04+7.5076*0.01}\\=\sqrt{0.3324}\\=0.5765$

Therefore, the mean and the standard deviation for the number of electrical outages (respectively) are 0.26 and 0.5765 respectively.
