So even postive integers are by defention in form 2k where k is a natural number so
let the sum of even integers to n=S
S=2(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+......+k-1+k
divide bith sides of equation 1 by 2
0.5S=1+2+3+4+5+...........+k-1+k
S=2(k+(k-1)+..............................+2+1)
divide both sides of equation 2 by 2
0.5S=k+k-1+..............................+2+1)
by adding both we will get
___________________________
S=(k+1)(k)
so the sum will be equal to
S=
{k}^{2}  + k
so let us test the equation
for the first 3 even number there sums will be
2+4+6=12
by our equation 3^2+3=12
gave us the same answer so our equation is correct

There are 7 red 3 green 2 blue and 8 purple marbles in a bag if a marble is randomly chosen 250 times predict how many times it
kati45 [8]

Answer:

It should be red or green 125 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is to calculate the probability of selecting a red or a green marble

Total number of marbles = 7 + 3 + 2 + 8 = 20

Probability of selecting a red marble is 7/20

Probability of selecting a green marble is 3/20

The probability of selecting a red or a green marble = Probability of selecting a red marble + Probability of selecting a green marble = 7/20 + 3/20 = 10/20 = 1/2

Now our selection spans 250 times, the number of times it should have been a green or a red marble = The probability of selecting a green or a red marble * number of selection times = 1/2 * 250 = 125 times
