Answer:

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = 15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum you are trying to understand is this.

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n}

Remember that in general when you have a geometric series  

\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n you have that

\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n = \frac{a}{1-r}      and that equality is true as long as     |r| < 1.

Therefore here we have

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{3*5} \big)^n = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n        and   \big|\frac{-1}{15} \big| = \frac{1}{15} < 1

Therefore we can use the formula and

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n =  \frac{2}{1-(-1/15)} = \frac{2}{1+1/15} = 30/16  = 15/8

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

P(disease/positivetest) = 0.36116

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability exercise.

Let's name the events :

I : ''A person is infected''

NI : ''A person is not infected''

PT : ''The test is positive''

NT : ''The test is negative''

The conditional probability equation is :

Given two events A and B :

P(A/B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)

P(B) >0

P(A/B) is the probability of the event A given that the event B happened

P(A ∩ B) is the probability of the event (A ∩ B)

(A ∩ B) is the event where A and B happened at the same time

In the exercise :

P(I)=0.025

P(NI)= 1-P(I)=1-0.025=0.975\\P(NI)=0.975

P(PT/I)=0.904\\P(PT/NI)=0.041

We are looking for P(I/PT) :

P(I/PT)=P(I∩ PT)/ P(PT)

P(PT/I)=0.904

P(PT/I)=P(PT∩ I)/P(I)

0.904=P(PT∩ I)/0.025

P(PT∩ I)=0.904 x 0.025

P(PT∩ I) = 0.0226

P(PT/NI)=0.041

P(PT/NI)=P(PT∩ NI)/P(NI)

0.041=P(PT∩ NI)/0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.041 x 0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.039975

P(PT) = P(PT∩ I)+P(PT∩ NI)

P(PT)= 0.0226 + 0.039975

P(PT) = 0.062575

P(I/PT) = P(PT∩I)/P(PT)

P(I/PT)=\frac{0.0226}{0.062575} \\P(I/PT)=0.36116

What is the solution of
Artemon [7]

Yo sup??

we can simply try option verification for this problem.

when x=0 we get,

1 and 1≠5 therefore x=0 is not a solution.

when x=1 we get

√6-1≠5 therefore x=1 is not a solution.

when x=16 we get

9-4=5 therefore x=16 is a solution

Hence the correct answer is option C

Hope this helps.
