The probability that jim will win = P(A) = 1/9

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical descriptions of how likely it is for an event to happen or for a claim to be true. A number between 0 and 1 is the probability of an event, where, broadly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes its certainty.

<h3>According to the given information :</h3>

The odds in favor of jim beating a friend at golf are = 1:8

Let A be the event that Jim beating a friend golf.

So,

according to ratio, it becomes

P(A)/P(A') = 1/8

P(A) = 1x

P(A') = 8x

we know that :

P(A) + P(A') = 1

x + 8x = 1

9x = 1

x = 1/9

so that

P(A) = 1/9

P(A') = 8/9

the probability that jim will win = P(A) = 1/9

A geometric sequence is defined by the equation an = (3)3 − n.

Delvig [45]

PART A

The geometric sequence is defined by the equation

$a_{n}=3^{3-n}$

To find the first three terms, we put n=1,2,3

When n=1,

$a_{1}=3^{3-1}$

$a_{1}=3^{2}$

$a_{1}=9$
When n=2,

$a_{2}=3^{3-2}$
$a_{2}=3^{1}$

$a_{2}=3$

When n=3

$a_{3}=3^{3-3}$

$a_{3}=3^{0}$
$a_{1}=1$
The first three terms are,

$9,3,1$

PART B

The common ratio can be found using any two consecutive terms.

The common ratio is given by,
$r= \frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}$
$r = \frac{3}{9}$

$r = \frac{1}{3}$

PART C

To find
$a_{11}$

We substitute n=11 into the equation of the geometric sequence.

$a_{11} = {3}^{3 - 11}$

This implies that,

$a_{11} = {3}^{ - 8}$

$a_{11} = \frac{1}{ {3}^{8} }$

$a_{11}=\frac{1}{6561}$
