Answer:

218

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we need f(n) to calculate f(n+1), we have to calculate our values one step at a time. Starting with f(1) = 1,

f(2) = 5(f(1)) + 3 = 5(1) + 3 = 5+3 = 8

f(3) = 5(8) + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43

f(4) = 5(43) + 3 = 215 + 3 = 218

If the probability that a chef likes carrots is 0.13, the probability of those who like broccoli is 0.72, and the probability of

rosijanka [135]

Taking into account definition of probability, the probability of those who like both is 0.07 or 7%.

<h3>Definition of Probabitity</h3>

Probability is the greater or lesser possibility that a certain event will occur.

In other words, the probability is the possibility that a phenomenon or an event will happen, given certain circumstances. It is expressed as a percentage.

<h3>Union of events</h3>

The union of events, AUB, is the event formed by all the elements of A and B. That is, the event AUB is verified when one of the two, A or B, or both occurs. AUB is read as "A or B".

The probability of the union of two compatible events is calculated as the sum of their probabilities subtracting the probability of their intersection:

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B) -P(A∩B)

where the intersection of events, A∩B, is the event formed by all the elements that are, at the same time, from A and B. That is, the event A∩B is verified when A and B occur simultaneously.

<h3>Complementary event</h3>

A complementary event, also called an opposite event, is made up of the inverse of the results of another event. That is, That is, given an event A, a complementary event is verified as long as the event A is not verified.

The probability of occurrence of the complementary event A' will be 1 minus the probability of occurrence of A:

P(A´)= 1- P(A)

<h3>Events and probability in this case</h3>

In first place, let's define the following events:

C: The event that a chef likes carrots.
B: The event that a a chef likes broccoli.

Then you know:

P(C)= 0.13
P(B)= 0.72

In this case, considering the definition of union of events, the probability that a chef likes carrots and broccoli is calculated from:

P(C∪B)= P(C) + P(B) -P(C∩B)

Then, the probability that a chef likes carrots and broccoli is calculated as:

P(C∩B)= P(C) + P(B) -P(C∪B)

In this case, considering the definition of the complementary event and its probability, the probability that a chef likes NEITHER of carrots and broccoli is calculated as:

P [(C∪B)']= 1- P(C∪B)

In this case, the probability of those who like neither is 0.22

0.22= 1 - P(C∪B)

Solving

0.22 - 1= - P(C∪B)

-0.78= - P(C∪B)

- (-0.78)= P(C∪B)

Now, remembering that P(C∩B)= P(C) + P(B) -P(C∪B), you get:

P(C∩B)= 0.13 + 0.72 -0.78

Solving:

P(C∩B)= 0.07= 7%

Finally, the probability of those who like both is 0.07 or 7%.

2 triangles are shown. The first triangle has side lengths 35, 20, and 20. The second triangle has side lengths x, 44, 44.

Ad libitum [116K]

The value of x is 77 cm which will make the triangles similar by SSS similarity theorem

Given length of the three sides of one triangle are 35 , 20 and 20

and length of the three sides of another triangle are x, 44,44

We need to find the values of x by using SSS Similarity theorem

We know that triangles are are similar by side - side - side similarity creation and hence the sides are in the same ratio

As both the triangles are isosceles triangles

Therefore ,

x/35 = 44/20=44/20 (Using ratio)

Solving the equation we get

x=44*35/20

x= 77

Hence the value of x is 77cm

The manufacturer of the ColorSmart-5000 television set claims 95 percent of its sets last at least five years without needing a

patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Your study variable is X: "number of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use, in a sample of 390"

X~Bi (n;ρ)

ρ: population proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use. ρ = 0.95

n= 390

x= 303

sample proportion ^ρ: x/n = 303/390 = 0.776 ≅ 0.78

Applying the Central Limit Theorem you approximate the distribution of the sample proportion to normal to obtain the statistic to use.

You are asked to estimate the population proportion of televisions that didn't require repairs with a confidence interval, the formula is:

^ρ± $Z_{1-\alpha /2}$ * √[(^ρ(1-^ρ))/n]

$Z_{1-\alpha /2}$ = $Z_{0.995}$ = 2.58

0.78±2.58* √[(0.78(1-0.78))/390]

0.0541

[0.726;0.834]

With a confidence level of 99% you'd expect that the interval [0.726;0.834] contains the true value of the proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use.

I hope it helps!

Use the coordinate grid to determine the coordinates of point A;

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of point P are (-1.4,0.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given A coordinate grid shown from negative 2 to positive 2 on x-axis and negative 2 to positive 2 on y-axis. There are 4 grid lines between a whole unit of the grid.

that means each grid has a value of 0.2.

" A point labeled P is shown at the intersection of 7 grid lines to the left of the y-axis and 3 grid lines above the x-axis "

As P lies on the left of the y-axis and above the x-axis hence the x-value will be negative and y-value will be positive.

According to the given information P lies 7 grid lines to the left of y-axis.

i.e. it has x-value -7×0.2= -1.4

and 3 grid lines above the x-axis i.e. it has y-value:

y-value= 3×0.2=0.6

Hence, the coordinates of Point P are (-1.4,0.6).
