Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is reasonable: the answer is both reasonable and correct because 5/12 - 2/5 = 1/60. This is because using cross multiply, 5 x 5/12 = 25/60, 12 x 2/5 = 24/60. 25/60 - 24/60 = 1/60.

Both are closer to half: half out of 12 would be 6/12 and 0 would be 0/12, so 5/12 is closer to half because 5/12 is closer to 6/12 than 0/12. Half out of 5 would be 2.5/5 and 0 would be 0/5, so 2/5 is closer to half because 2/5 is closer to 2.5/5 than 0/5.

The difference is close to 0: 1/60 is very close to 0. It's only worth 0.01<u>6</u>.

What is the nth term of quadratic sequence 4 7 12 19 28

Anni [7]

We find the first differences between terms:
7-4=3; 12-7=5; 19-12=7; 28-19=9.
Since these are different, this is not linear.
We now find the second differences:
5-3=2; 7-5=2; 9-7=2. Then:

Since these are the same, this sequence is quadratic.
We use (1/2a)n², where a is the second difference:
(1/2*2)n²=1n².

We now use the term number of each term for n:
4 is the 1st term; 1*1²=1.
7 is the 2nd term; 1*2²=4.
12 is the 3rd term; 1*3²=9.
19 is the 4th term; 1*4²=16.
28 is the 5th term: 1*5²=25.

Now we find the difference between the actual terms of the sequence and the numbers we just found:

4-1=3; 7-4=3; 12-9=3; 19-16=3; 28-25=3.

Since this is constant, the sequence is in the form (1/2a)n²+d;
in our case, 1n²+d, and since d=3, 1n²+3.
The correct answer is n²+3

"the life length x (in years) of a dvd player" is exponentially distributed with mean 5 years. what is the probability that a mo

loris [4]

The exponential distribution is:
$\lambda e^{- \lambda x}$
where $\lambda = \frac{1}{mean}=\frac{1}{5}$

The probability we want is how likely will a dvd player last more than 8 years, given it has already lasted 5 years
To find this, you use conditional probability.
$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A and B)}{P(B)}$
where A is P(x>8) and B is P(x>5)
To find these probabilities, integrate over the distribution:
$P(x \ \textgreater \ N) = \int_N^{\infty} \frac{1}{5} e^{-x/5} dx = e^{-N/5}$

Sub into conditional probability formula:

$P(x \ \textgreater \ 8 | x\ \textgreater \ 5) = \frac{P(x\ \textgreater \ 8)}{P(x\ \textgreater \ 5)} = \frac{e^{-8/5}}{e^{-5/5}} = e^{-3/5} = 0.549$

Final Answer: Given a dvd player is more than 5 years old, the probability that it will last another 3 more years is about 54.9%
