Answer:

See explanation below.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we define first some notation:
A= A new training program will increase customer satisfaction ratings
B= The training program can be kept within the original budget allocation
And for these two events we have defined the following probabilities

We are assuming that the two events are independent so then we have the following propert:

And we want to find the probability that the cost of the training program is not kept within budget or the training program will not increase the customer ratings so then if we use symbols we want to find:

And using the De Morgan laws we know that:

So then we can write the probability like this:

And using the complement rule we can do this:

Since A and B are independent we have:

And then our final answer would be:

Answer: " y = (-3/5)x − 4 " .
______________________________________________
Notice that
13 - 9 = 4
17 - 13 = 4
so it's likely that each pair of consecutive terms in the sum differ by 4. This means the last term, 149, is equal to 9 plus some multiple of 4 :
149 = 9 + 4k
140 = 4k
k = 140/4
k = 35
This tells you there are 35 + 1 = 36 terms in the sum (since the first term is 9 plus 0 times 4, and the last term is 9 plus 35 times 4). Among the given options, only the first choice contains the same amount of terms.
Put another way, we have

but if we make the sum start at k = 1, we need to replace every instance of k with k - 1, and accordingly adjust the upper limit in the sum.
