Amanufacturer samples 100 wires for quality testing. 4 wires were found defective. if 750 were produced in 1 hour how many should the manufacturer expect to be defective

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

i think the length is 12 and the width is 17
