Solution :
Let the three places be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
a). Number of the cases when a general manager is the next to a vice president is equal to 7 and the these 2 can be arranged in 21 ways. So the total number of ways = 7 x 2
= 14
[(1,2)(2,1) (2,3)(3,2) (3,4)(4,3) (4,5)(5,4) (5,6)(6,5) (6,7)(7,8) (8,7)(7,6)]
Therefore the required probability is
=
b). The probability that the marketing director to be placed in the leftmost position is
c). The two events are not independent because
where A is the case a and B is the case b.
well, the recursive rule of aₙ = aₙ₊₁ + 7, where a₁ = 15, is simply saying that
we start of at 15, and the next term is obtained by simply adding 7, and so on.
well, that's the recursive rule.
so then let's use that common difference and first term for the explicit rule.
