Answer:

1/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the event First person getting red velvet cake
Let B represent the event Second person getting red velvet cake

P(A) = Total number of Red Velvet Cakes ÷ Total Number of Cakes =

6/21 = 2/7

If the first person gets a red velvet cake, then there are 5 red velvet cakes and 20 total cakes

Therefore P(B|A) = Number of red velvet cakes left ÷ total number of cakes left = 5/20 = 1/4

P(A and B) == probability of both getting red velvet cake P(A∩B) = P(A).P(B|A) = 2/7 × 1/4 = 2/28 = 1/14

Alchen [17]

Answer:

24(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Complete Question:</u>

A monkey is swinging from a tree. On the first swing, she passes through an arc whose length is 24 m. With each swing, she travels along an arc that is half as long as the arc of the previous swing. Which expression gives the total length the monkey swings in her first n swings?

<u>Solution:</u>

First Swing:

24 m

Second Swing:

Half of first, so

24(1/2)

Third Swing:

Half of second, so:

24(1/2)(1/2)

Fourth Swing:

24(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)

So we see the general formula as:

24(\frac{1}{2})^{n-1}

<u>Note:</u> n -1 because (1/2) plays a role from second swing, which is n - 1

where n is the number of swings
