Mathematics

-115

Using the arithmetic formula, your equation appears as so:

an = 15 + (27 - 1) - 5

15 being the first number in the sequence, 27 being the number you're trying to find, and -5 being the common difference.

This will give you the answer of -115.

Hope this helps!

A random sample of 50 units is drawn from a production process every half hour. the true fraction of nonconforming products manu
Naya [18.7K]

solution:

The probability mass function for binomial distribution is,

 

Where,

X=0,1,2,3,…..; q=1-p

find the probability that (p∧ ≤ 0.06) , substitute the values of sample units (n) , and the probability of nonconformities (p) in the probability mass function of binomial distribution.

Consider x   to be the number of non-conformities. It follows a binomial distribution with n   being 50 and p  being 0.03. That is,

binomial (50,0.02)

Also, the estimate of the true probability is,

p∧  = x/50

The probability mass function for binomial distribution is,

 

Where,

X=0,1,2,3,…..; q=1-p

The calculation is obtained as

P(p^ ≤ 0.06) = p(x/20 ≤ 0.06)

         = 50cx ₓ (0.03)x ₓ (1-0.03)50-x  

=    (50c0 ₓ (0.03)0 ₓ (1-0.03)50-0 + 50c1(0.03)1 ₓ (1-0.03)50-1 + 50c2 ₓ (0.03)2 ₓ (1-0.03)50-2 +50c3 ₓ      (0.03)3 ₓ (1- 0.03)50-3 )

=(   ₓ (0.03)0 ₓ (1-0.03)50-0 +  ₓ (0.03)1 ₓ (1-0.03)50-1 +   ₓ (0.03)2 ₓ (1-0.03)50-2   ₓ (0.03)3 ₓ (1-0.03)50-3 )

- In the following diagram of triangle QRS, QR = 8 and QS = 17. Determine the value of sin Q. Show how you
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

SinQ=\frac{15}{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

We draw the right triangle as shown in the image attached.

Δ QRS

Where R is the right angle

Given

QR = 8

QS = 17

Now, using Pythagorean Theorem, we can find RS:

QR^2+RS^2=QS^2\\8^2+RS^2=17^2\\RS^2=17^2-8^2\\RS^2=225\\RS=\sqrt{225}\\RS=15

Now, we know the ratio Sine as:

Sin(\theta)=\frac{Opposite}{Hyotenuse}

Where \theta is the angle (here angle Q)

Opposite side is RS (which is 15)

Hypotenuse is given as QS (which is 17)

So,

SinQ=\frac{15}{17}

This is the value of SinQ.

We don't want the angle, so we'll stop here.

Factor the polynomial expression 15x^2 - 2x - 8
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

(3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

15 x^2 - 2 x - 8

Factor the quadratic 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8. The coefficient of x^2 is 15 and the constant term is -8. The product of 15 and -8 is -120. The factors of -120 which sum to -2 are 10 and -12. So 15 x^2 - 2 x - 8 = 15 x^2 - 12 x + 10 x - 8 = 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):

5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2)

Factor 3 x + 2 from 5 x (3 x + 2) - 4 (3 x + 2):

Answer: (3 x + 2) (5 x - 4)

Today, John ran 15 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes. He wants to represent the relationship between the distance he ran, in miles
jeyben [28]

Answer:

d = 6t

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, lets change the 2 hours and 30 minutes to 2.5 hours, you could devide the time in minutes by 60 to get that number 2[hours]+(\frac{30}{60})[minutes to hours] = 2.5Hours.

Anyway, John ran 15 miles in 2.5 hours which means he ran (15÷2.5) in one hour which is equal to 6miles per hour. That means if you multiply the hours he ran by 6 you will get the miles he ran.

So the answer would be:

d = 6t
