Answer:

  • 4⁴/7³ or 256/343

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given GP with </u>

  • a₄ = 4
  • a₅ = 7
  • a₁ = ?

<u>Let the common difference is r, then</u>

  • a₅ = a₄r
  • a₁r³ = 4
  • a₁r⁴ = 7

<u>Solve for r and then a₁:</u>

  • 4r = 7 ⇒ r = 7/4
  • a₁(7/4)³ = 4
  • a₁ = 4*(4/7)³ = 4⁴/7³ = 256/343

An electric company has to track on-time payments and late payments for each customer monthly. It is impossible for a customer t
OLga [1]

Answer:

The  probability that a customer pays late each month is    P(B)  =  0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let     P( A ) be the probability that the customer pays on time and the value is  0.55

Let  P( B )  be the  probability that a customer pays late each month

So

  The probability that a customer pays late or on-time each month  is  P(A u B) and  the value is  0.82

The probability that a customer pays on-time and late each month is  P(A n B) and  the value is  zero ( 0 ) given that it is impossible

   Now The probability that a customer pays late or on-time each month  is mathematically represented as

      P(A u B)  =  P(A) +  P(B)  -   P(A n B)

=>     0.82  =  0.55 + P( B ) -   0

=>    P(B)  =  0.27
