Answer:

24ft is the length of the shadow of the telephone pole

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first what I did was divide 15 by 4 which equaled to 3.75, after that the question said that the telephone pole was now 90 feet tall so I just had to divide 90 by 3.75 and then 24 ft long was the final answer. I hope that helps

When purchasing bulk orders of batteries, a toy manufacturer uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 49 b

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A shipment contains 6000 batteries, and 1% of them do not meet specifications.

Sample size =49

If x is the number of batteries not meeting specifications then

x is binomial with n =49 and p = 0.01

Because i) each toy is independent of the other

ii) There are only two outcomes

Probability whole shipment is accepted = Prob (X≤3)

=0.9885

Hence almost all shipments would be accepted.

What are the first three terms of the sequence modeled by the recursive function an=1/2an-1 when a1=1?

loris [4]

Answer:

Option A is correct that is $1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a formula $a_n=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_n-1$

$a_1=1$

We will put values of n in $a_n=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_n-1$

when n=2 we get

$a_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_2-1$

$\Rightarrow a_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_1$

$\Rightarrow a_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 1$

$\Rightarrow a_2=\frac{1}{2}$

when n=3

$a_3=\frac{1}{2}\cdot a_2$

$\Rightarrow a_3=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{2}$

$\Rightarrow a_3=\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore, Option A is correct that is $1,\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{4}$
