The probability that a person chosen at random have run a red light in the past year is 0.45.

Given that 150 people have responded yes and 185 have responded no in a group of people when they asked whether they have run a red light.

Probability lies between 0 and 1. The value of probability can be find by :

Probability= Number items/total items.

Number of people who said that they have run red light=150

Number of people who said that they have not run red light=185

Total people=150+185

=335 people

Probability that a person chosen at random have run red light in the past year=

=Number of people who said that they have run red lights / total people

=150/335

=0.447

After rounding off it will be 0.45.

Hence the probability that a person chosen at random have run a red light in the past year is 0.45.

Write a rule for the nth term of the geometric sequence for which a1=−6 and a5=−486
patriot [66]

The geometric rule for the nth term of the geometric sequence for which a1 =−6 and a5=−486 is -6 × 3^(n - 1)

<h3>The nth term of a geometric sequence</h3>

First term, a1 = -6

Fifth term, a5 = -486

a5 = ar^(n - 1)

-486 = -6 × r^(5-1)

-486 = -6r⁴

r⁴ = -486 / 6

r⁴ = 81

r = 4√81

r = 3

Geometric rule:

nth term = ar^(n-1)

nth term = -6 × 3^(n - 1)

KiRa [710]

Answer:

27/462

OR

.058

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability that the first student, selected at random, is a nursing student is 3/22.

the probability that the second student, selected at random from the remaining students, is an accounting major is 9/21.

the probability the first student chosen is a nursing student and the second student chosen is an accounting major is therefore 3/22 * 9/21 = 27/462.
