\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
n&term&value\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
1&a_1&a_1\\
2&a_2&6a_1\\
3&a_3&6(6a_1)\\
&&36a_1
\end{array}\implies \stackrel{\textit{3rd term is 24}}{36a_1=24}
\\\\\\
a_1=\cfrac{24}{36}\implies  a_1=\cfrac{2}{3}

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}
\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
r=6\\
a_1=\frac{2}{3}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\boxed{a_n=\cfrac{2}{3}\cdot 6^{n-1}}

Answer:

P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = 67.4\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached plot

Required

P(Ice Cream|Frogtown)

This is calculated as:

P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = \frac{P(Ice\ Cream\ n\ Frogtown)}{P(Frogtown)}

From the attachment;

P(Ice\ Cream\ n\ Frogtown) = 0.31

P(Frogtown) = 0.31 + 0.15 = 0.46

So, we have:

P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = \frac{P(Ice\ Cream\ n\ Frogtown)}{P(Frogtown)}

P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = \frac{0.31}{0.46}

P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = 0.6739

Express as percentage

P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = 0.6739 * 100\%

P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = 67.39\%

P(Ice Cream|Frogtown) = 67.4\% -- approximated

Angela weighs 15% less than she did one year ago. Which of the statements below is true?
Elden [556K]

The current weight W_c is 15% less than the weight Angela had 1 year ago (W). Or we can write,

W_c=(1-\frac{15}{100}) W\\ W_c=\frac{85}{100}W\\.

Thus Angela,s current weight is 85% of her weight one year ago.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

708meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Lenght = 274meters

Width= 80 meters

The expression for the perimeter is

P= 2L+2W

substitute

P= 2*274+ 2*80

P= 548+160

P= 708 meters

Hence the perimeter of the block is 708meters
