Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct question

-16/5, 8, -20. What is the next term of the geometric sequence.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as:

Tn = ar^n-1

From the sequence:

a is the first term = -16/5

n is the number of term = 4(since next term is 4th term

r is the common ratio = (8)÷(-16/5) = 8×-5/16

r = -5/2

Substitute the given values into the formula

T4 = -16/5(-5/2)^4-1

T4 = -16/5(-5/2)³

T4 = -16/5×-125/8

T4 = -16/8×-125/5

T4 = -2×-25

T4 = 50

Hence the next term is 50

WILL MARK BRAINILEST!
Andru [333]
So it started at 180. After 4 more years it’s grown 188 cm to 368. If we estimate that it’ll grow 188 cm in another 4 years that puts our total to around 556. If we estimate and take off a year, it would probably be around 548 cm :)

Lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. a bank conducts inter
Otrada [13]
Part A:

Given that lie <span>detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector correctly determined that a selected person is saying the truth has a probability of 0.85
Thus p = 0.85

Thus, the probability that </span>the lie detector will conclude that all 15 are telling the truth if <span>all 15 applicants tell the truth is given by:

</span>P(X)={ ^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}} \\  \\ \Rightarrow P(15)={ ^{15}C_{15}(0.85)^{15}(0.15)^0} \\  \\ =1\times0.0874\times1=0.0874
<span>

</span>Part B:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.25
Thus p = 0.15

Thus, the probability that the lie detector will conclude that at least 1 is lying if all 15 applicants tell the truth is given by:

P(X)={ ^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow P(X\geq1)=1-P(0) \\  \\ =1-{ ^{15}C_0(0.15)^0(0.85)^{15}} \\ \\ =1-1\times1\times0.0874=1-0.0874 \\  \\ =0.9126


Part C:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.15
Thus p = 0.15

The mean is given by:

\mu=npq \\  \\ =15\times0.15\times0.85 \\  \\ =1.9125


Part D:

Given that lie detectors have a 15% chance of concluding that a person is lying even when they are telling the truth. Thus, lie detectors have a 85% chance of concluding that a person is telling the truth when they are indeed telling the truth.

The case that the lie detector wrongly determined that a selected person is lying when the person is actually saying the truth has a probability of 0.15
Thus p = 0.15

The <span>probability that the number of truthful applicants classified as liars is greater than the mean is given by:

</span>P(X\ \textgreater \ \mu)=P(X\ \textgreater \ 1.9125) \\  \\ 1-[P(0)+P(1)]
<span>
</span>P(1)={ ^{15}C_1(0.15)^1(0.85)^{14}} \\  \\ =15\times0.15\times0.1028=0.2312<span>
</span>

What is the slope?<br><br> A.) Undefined<br> B.) 0
SSSSS [86.1K]
Your answer is 0, because the equation for this is y=1. Only vertical lines can have an undefined slope because the x value never changes. Hope this helps.
