the sequence starts at 10 and increases by 7 each time, thefore a possible sequence identification is:

$\begin{gathered} a_n=7n+3 \\ \text{Let's verify:} \\ a_1=7(1)+3=7+3=10 \\ a_2=7(2)+3=14+3=17 \\ a_3=7(3)+3=21+3=24 \\ \text{and so on} \\ \text{.} \\ \text{.} \\ \text{.} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the 100th term is:

$a_{100}=7(100)+3=700+3=703$

sesenic [268]

Answer:

15 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

let the current weight of the puppy be X, the initial weight of the puppy is 4lb or $\frac{2}{3}X-6\ lb$ , (6 lb less 2/3 X) .

#We equate the current weight to the initial weight to determine X:

$4\ lb=\frac{2}{3}X-6\ lb\\\\10 \ lb=\frac{2}{3}X\\\\X=15$

Hence, the current weight of the puppy is 15 lb

3. From the table below, find Prof. Xin expected value of lateness. (5 points) Lateness P(Lateness) On Time 4/5 1 Hour Late 1/10

wariber [46]

Answer:

The expected value of lateness $\frac{7}{20}$ hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of lateness is as follows:

Lateness P (Lateness)

On Time 4/5

1 Hour Late 1/10

2 Hours Late 1/20

3 Hours Late 1/20

The formula of expected value of a random variable is:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

Compute the expected value of lateness as follows:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

$=(0\times \frac{4}{5})+(1\times \frac{1}{10})+(2\times \frac{1}{20})+(3\times \frac{1}{20})\\\\=0+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{3}{20}\\\\=\frac{2+2+3}{20}\\\\=\frac{7}{20}$

Thus, the expected value of lateness $\frac{7}{20}$ hours.

Does anyone know what the inequality would be?

dsp73

Let x = number of batches.

So for every batch, you need 2 cups of flour, and you have 20 cups of flour. You cannot make a batch if you don't have the sufficient amount. So using our information, our inequality is $2x \leq 20$ . However, this can be further simplified.

For this inequality, divide both sides by 2, and <u>your inequality is $x\leq 10$ .</u> <u>In context, you can make up to 10 batches of cookies.</u>
