The sum of the first 15 terms of the sequence an=10n+21

1 answer:

3 0

That is
the sum of all the terms from a1 to an when you are summing up n terms is n(a1+an)/2
so

find the 1st and 15th term
1st term is a1=10(1)=21=10+21=31
15th term is a15=10(15)+21=150+21=171

and n=15
15(31+171)/2=15(202)/2=3030/2=1515
the sum of the first 15 term is 1515

Two production lines produce the same parts per week of which 100 are defective. Line 2 produces 2,000 parts per week of which 1

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.0833 or 8.33%

(b) 0.40 or 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Parts line one (n1) = 1,000 parts

Defects line one (d1) = 100 parts

Parts line two (n2) = 2,000 parts

Defects line two (d2) = 150 parts

Total number of parts (n) = 3,000 parts

a. Probability of a randomly selected part being defective:

$P(d) = \frac{d_1+d_2}{n_1+n_2}=\frac{100+150}{1,000+2,000}\\P(d) =0.0833=8.33\%$

The probability is 0.0833 or 8.33%

b. Probability of a part being produced by line one, given that it is defective:

$P(1|d)=\frac{P(1\cap d)}{P(1\cap d)+P(2\cap d)}\\P(1|d)=\frac{\frac{100}{3,000} }{\frac{100}{3,000}+\frac{150}{3,000}}\\P(1|d)=0.4 = 40\%$

The probability is 0.40 or 40%.
