The sum of the first n terms in a geometric sequence given the first term (a1) and the common ratio (r) is calculated through the equation,
<span>Sn </span>= (<span><span><span>a1</span>(1−<span>r^n</span>) / (</span><span>1−r)
Substituting the known terms,
Sn = (20)(1 - (1/4)^4)) / (1 - 1/4)
Sn = 26.5625
Thus, the sum of the first four terms is 26.5625. </span></span>
Assuming we’re talking about a cylinder, whose volume formula is V = pi r^2 h…
It will have a greater effect to change a variable’s value that has a greater power on it.
Changing h from 1 to 2 doubles the volume.
Changing r from 1 to 4 quadruples the volume, because 1^2 = 1 and 2^2 = 4. The effect of the change on r is amplified by the power.

Answer:
The probability is 0.971032
Step-by-step explanation:
The variable that says the number of components that fail during the useful life of the product follows a binomial distribution.
The Binomial distribution apply when we have n identical and independent events with a probability p of success and a probability 1-p of not success. Then, the probability that x of the n events are success is given by:

In this case, we have 2000 electronics components with a probability 0.005 of fail during the useful life of the product and a probability 0.995 that each component operates without failure during the useful life of the product. Then, the probability that x components of the 2000 fail is:
(eq. 1)
So, the probability that 5 or more of the original 2000 components fail during the useful life of the product is:
P(x ≥ 5) = P(5) + P(6) + ... + P(1999) + P(2000)
We can also calculated that as:
P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - P(x ≤ 4)
Where P(x ≤ 4) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4)
Then, if we calculate every probability using eq. 1, we get:
P(x ≤ 4) = 0.000044 + 0.000445 + 0.002235 + 0.007479 + 0.018765
P(x ≤ 4) = 0.028968
Finally, P(x ≥ 5) is:
P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - 0.028968
P(x ≥ 5) = 0.971032
