The experimental probability of each event is as follows:

Landing open side up = 1/50 = 0.02 = 2%.
Landing closed side up = 5/50 = 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%.
Landing on its side = 44/50 = 0.88 = 88%.

The experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes that favored the event to the total number of outcomes in the experiment.

In the question, we are given that Jake tossed a paper cup 50 times and recorded the position how it landed, which is shown in the table:

Open-sided up: 1

Closed side up 5

On the side: 44.

We are asked to determine the experimental probability of each outcome.

The number of outcomes, when the landing is open-sided up is 1.

The number of outcomes, when the landing is closed-sided up is 5.

The number of outcomes, when the landing is on the side up is 44.

The total number of times the experiment took place is 50.

Thus, the experimental probability of each event is as follows:

Landing open side up = 1/50 = 0.02 = 2%.
Landing closed side up = 5/50 = 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%.
Landing on its side = 44/50 = 0.88 = 88%.

Lauren has an above-ground pool. To keep the pool's skimmer working well, the water level must be 4 inches from the top of the p

KIM [24]

Answer:

1885.5 m^3 of water

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll assume this is the complete question

Lauren has an above-ground pool. To keep the pool's skimmer working well, the water level must be 4 inches from the top of the pool. When the pool is filled to this recommended level, approximately how many cubic feet of water will it contain? Use π = 3.14

The pool forms a cylinder with a radius of 12 feet and a height of 4.5 feet.

height of pool = 4.5 ft

radius of pool $12^{2}$ = 12 ft

height of water is 4 inches below pool top

12 inches make 1 ft

4 inches = 4/12 ft = 0.33 ft

Therefore, height of water = 4.5 - 0.33 = 4.17 ft

volume of the water in this section of the cylinder will be equal to the volume of the cylinder formed

volume of cylinder formed by the water = volume of water = π $r^{2}$ h

volume = 3.14 x $12^{2}$ x 4.17 = 1885.5 m^3 of water

Enter the explicit rule for the sequence

Softa [21]

Let's take a look at the first few numbers in the sequence based on the given rule:

$a_{1}=6\\ a_{2}= \frac{1}{4}(6)\\ a_3= \frac{1}{4}\big( \frac{1}{4}\big)6= \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^2(6)\\ a_{4}= \frac{1}{4} \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^26= \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^3(6)$

Inspecting this pattern it seems like the power $\frac{1}{4}$ is being raised to is always one less than the number of the sequence, so if we were on the nth number in the sequence, that part of the expression would be $\big(\frac{1}{4} \big)^{n-1}$ . We also know that we'll be multiplying whatever we get from that by 6, so we can write the full explicit rule for our sequence as

$a_n=6\big( \frac{1}{4} \big)^{n-1}$

Where $a_n$ is the nth number in our sequence.
