The geometric sequence is starting with 2 and multiplying by 3 every time. We can get the rule of this sequence by...

If 2 is a_0, 6 is a_1, 18 is a_2, etc.

a_n=2*3^n

For the 14th term, which is a_13, the value is 2*3^13.

Using a calculator because I'm too lazy to calculate 3^13 sorry, we can get.

forsale [732]

Answer:

700 lbs and 3.742

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that raw materials are studied for contamination. Suppose that the number of particles of contamination per pound of material is a Poisson random variable with a mean of 0.02 particle per pound.

a) To get 14 particles of contamination we must have

expected number of pounds = $\frac{14}{0.02} \\=700$

b) Since for 700 pounds particles expected are 14 we can say in a Poisson distribution mean and variance are equal

i.e. Var (700 lbs to obtain 14 particles of contamination ) = 14

Std deviation = $\sqrt{14} =3.742$
