Answer:

Sum of the geometric sequence is 19662.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the terms in a geometric series is represented by the formula

s_{n}=a\frac{(1-r^{n}) }{1-r}

In this formula a = first term

r = common ratio

n = number of terms

Given in the question

a = 6

r = (-4)

n = 7

S_{7}=(6)\frac{[1-(-4)^{7}] }{[1-(-4)]}=6.\frac{(1+16384)}{(1+4)}=\frac{(6)(16385)}{5}= 19662

Therefore sum of the sequence is 19662

The shortest way is to use the sum formula for GP


S =a(1-rⁿ) /(1-r)

a=6

r=(-4)

n=7 (seventh term) ===> S=6(1-(- 4)⁷)/[1- -4)] =19,662

According to records from 50 years, there is a 2/3 chance of June temperatures being above 80 F. Azul needs to find the probabil
Brrunno [24]

Record of june temperature of last 50 years

Probability of June temperature being above 80° F from last 50 years

                      =\frac{2}{3}

It means , out of 30 days ,there are  only 20 days , in which temperature is above 80°F.

⇒Probability that it will be above 80° F for 20 or more days this June

                =\frac{20+x}{30}  

where, x is the number of extra days after 20 days in month of june, when temperature is above 80°F.

Value of this Probability will be in between

                \frac{2}{3}\leq P \leq 1  

Now, what Azul wants

 To find the probability that it will be above 80° F for 20 or more days this June.

The Simulation given is

  ⇒There are 30 days in June. If we use a number cube with the numbers 1-6 and assign 1-4 as a temperature above 80° F and 5-6 as a temperature 80° F or below.

Total number of numbers on number cube ={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Favorable Outcome={1,2,3,4}=Temperature above 80° F

Temperature 80° F or below ={5,6}

⇒Probability of getting number {1,2,3,4} on the number cube when rolled once,that is Temperature above 80° F

        =\frac{4}{6}\\\\=\frac{2}{3}

⇒Probability of getting number {5,6} on the number cube when rolled once, that is Temperature 80° F or below

        =\frac{2}{6}\\\\=\frac{1}{3}

This is Incorrect Simulation, as there are chances that , there can be more than 20 days out of 30 days when Temperature goes above 80° F.But Here we have got Probability of temperature being above 80° F for 20 days only, not more than 20 days, which is =\frac{2}{3}

Not,a number

    \frac{2}{3}< \text{Probability} \leq 1.
