Answer:

  0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the first two terms is ...

  1.2/1.5 = 4/5 = 0.8

That is also the ratio of successive adjacent terms.

  0.96/1.2 = 0.768/0.96 = 0.8

The common ratio is 0.8.

Complete Question

The chance of an IRS audit for a tax return with over $25,000 in income is about 2% per year. We are interested in the expected number of audits a person with that income has in a 9-year period. Assume each year is independent.

Find the probability that a person is audited more than twice. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

The probability is  [tex]P(X > 2) = 0.0007 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The  probability of an IRS audit for a tax return with over $25,000 in income is p= 0.02

The sample size  n  =  9

Generally the distribution of IRS audit for a tax return follows a binomial distribution  

i.e  

         [tex]X  \~ \ \ \  B(n , p)[/tex]

and the probability distribution function for binomial  distribution is  

      [tex]P(X = x) =  ^{n}C_x *  p^x *  (1- p)^{n-x}[/tex]

Here C stands for combination hence we are going to be making use of the combination function in our calculators  

Generally the probability that a person is not audited at all is mathematically

     [tex]P(X = 0) =  ^{9}C_0 *  (0.02)^0 *  (1- 0.02 )^{9-0}[/tex]

      [tex]P(X = 0) =  ^{9}C_0 *  (0.02)^0 *  (0.98 )^{9-0}[/tex]

       [tex]P(X = 0) =  0.8337[/tex]

Generally the probability that a person is  audited once  is mathematically

           [tex]P(X = 1) =  ^{9}C_1 *  (0.02)^1 *  (1- 0.02 )^{9-1}[/tex]

           [tex]P(X = 1) =  9*  (0.02)^1 *  (0.98 )^{8}[/tex]

            [tex]P(X = 1) =  0.1531[/tex]

Generally the probability that a person is  audited twice is mathematically represented

           [tex]P(X = 2) =  ^{9}C_2 *  (0.02)^2 *  (1- 0.02 )^{9-2}[/tex]

           [tex]P(X = 2) =  36 *  (0.02)^2 *  (0.98 )^{7}[/tex]

            [tex]P(X = 2) =  0.0125 [/tex]

Generally the probability that a person is audited more than twice is mathematically represented

     [tex]P(X > 2) =  1 - [P(X = 0 ) + P(X = 1 )+ P(X =2)] [/tex]

=>    [tex]P(X > 2) =  1 - [0.8337 + 0.1531+0.0125 ] [/tex]

=>    [tex]P(X > 2) = 0.0007 [/tex]

The value in your hand is -18

let the value be x, then the equation is:

x = -8 + (-10)

x = - 8 - 10

x = - 10

the distance of the sum from -8 is the distance between -8 & -10, i.e -8 - (-10) = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (8, 9)

B (-2, 4)

1. What is the slope of the line? Show your work

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 9) / (-2 - 8)

m = -5 / - 10

m = 1/2

2. Write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Show your work

(y - y1) = m(x -x1)

(y - 9) = 1/2(x - 8)

3. Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

(y - 9) = 1/2(x - 8)

y - 9 = 1/2x - 4

y = 1/2x - 4 + 9

y = 1/2x + 5

The expression results to 100.

Mathematical statements are called expressions if they have at least two terms that are related by an operator and contain either numbers, variables, or both. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are all possible mathematical operations.

A mathematical expression is a phrase that has a minimum of two numbers or variables and at least one mathematical operation.

Given:

divide the difference between 1200 and 700 by 5

so, mathematically

(1200- 700)/5

= 500 /5

= 100

Hence, the expression results to 100.

Answer:

41 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

the company is saying they will round the number of miles, and charge you that number

when rounding 40.8, you round up to 41

1,2,3,4 rounds down to 0

5,6,7,8,9 rounds up to the next 0 up

The required miles he will be charged for is 41 miles.

Given that,
A car rental service charges customers for the number of miles they travel rounded to the nearest whole mile George travels 40.8 miles
To determine how many miles will he be charged.

The rounding of values is superseding a number with an inexact value that has a more ephemeral, more uncomplicated, or more direct representation.

Here,
The customer traveled for 40.8 miles,
Now round it to the nearest whole miles, Since 40.8 where 0.8 is 0.2 near to the 1 so the round of 40.8 become 40.8 + 0.2 = 41

Thus, The required miles he will be charged for is 41 miles.

Answer: m∠GHK=80.5,

m∠KHJ=80.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

I would say both GHK and JHK equal 80.5 degrees. (if it is allowed with decimals).  

Step-by-step explanation:

Bisectors are lines that basically cut an angle in half. Since JHG is the whole angle, the bisector, HK, halves it. So, both GHK and KHJ should be the same, since they both are half of the original angle. As a result, 161 divided by 2 is 80.5 degrees.

24 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

length=(2x-3)

width=(3x-5)

perimeter=26

perimeter= (2 times length) + (2 times width)

26= 2(2x-2) + 2(3x-5)

26 = 4x - 6 + 6x - 10

26 = 10x -16

Answer

You bought 7 paperbacks and 3 hardcovers.

Step-by-step explanation: This doesn't seem college level! Jokes aside, you solve this with a system of equations. Your first equation is 10 = p + h, where p stands for the number of paperbacks and h stands for the number of hardcovers. Your second equation is p = 3h - 2, meaning that the number of paperbacks is triple the number of hardcovers minus 2. Now, you just have to plug in p = 3h - 2 into your first equation, and you get 10 = (3h - 2) + h. 4h = 12, and h = 3, meaning the number of hardcovers must be 3. All you have to do now is subtract 3 from 10, and you have 7, which is the number of paperbacks!

Out of the total number of 10 books bought, there were 3 hardcovers and 7 paperbacks

Paperbacks are two less than three times the hardcovers. Assume the hardcovers are x, the paperbacks would be represented as:

= 3x - 2

Solving would give:

10 = Paperbacks + Hardcovers

10 = 3x - 2 + x

10 = 4x - 2

4x = 10 + 2

x = 12/4

x = 3 hardcovers

Paperbacks:

= 10 - 3

= 7

In conclusion, there are 3 hardcovers and 7 paperbacks.
