Answer:

The Probability that Chloe wins is \dfrac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 4 chocolates and 1 fruit chew.

this means we have total 5 choices.

Now Clark draws first. and there is no replacement that means if one treat is drawn it won't be counted again.

<em>Now we need to find the probability that Chloe wins i.e. he draws out the fruit chew one.</em>

Probability=\dfrac{4}{5}\times\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}

where the first term in the summation i.e.  \dfrac{4}{5}\times\dfrac{1}{4} shows that in the first turn Clark draws a chocolate box out of the 5 boxes and Chloe in his first turn draws a fruit chew and wins.

whereas second term in the summation shows that Chloe draws a fruit chew in his second draw.

Probability=\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{2}{5}

Hence, the Probability that Chloe wins is \dfrac{2}{5}

A sequence is defined by the equation a1=50 and an=an-1+(-4) what is term a5?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

an=an-1+(-4)

a2 = a1 + (-4) = 50 - 4 = 46

a3 = a2 - 4 = 46 - 4 = 42

a4 = a3 - 4 = 42 - 4 = 38

a5 = a4 - 4 = 38 - 4 = 34

I need to find each angle. Please help!!
vredina [299]
The sum of internal angles of a triangle is 180°, so:
3x+2x+50+x+46=180
6x=84
x=14

angle a = 3*14=42
angle b = 2*14+50=78
angle c = 14+46=60

Question 2 (1 point)
KIM [24]

Answer:

first week = m miles

second week = 6 miles less than triple the number of miles they ran the

first week.

Triple of the number of miles they ran the first week = 3 * m = 3m

Therefore = 3m - 6
