60%=0.6

0.6*x=72

0.6x=72

x= \frac{72}{0.6}

x=120

72 is 60% of 120

\frac{60}{100} =  \frac{72}{x}

60x = 7200

x = 120

72 is 60% of 120

Let R be the event that a randomly chosen person lives in the city of Raleigh. Let O be the event that a randomly chosen person
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

P(O|R)

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditional probability notation of two events A and B can be written as either P(A|B) or P(B|A).

The '|' sign is read as 'given'. So, P(A|B) is read as the probability of event A given event B which implies that it is the probability that event A will occur given that event B has already occurred.

In the question,

Event R = Person lives in the city of Raleigh

Event O = Person is over 50 years old

The statement says, 'given that the person lives in Raleigh' which means that event R has already occurred and we need to find the probability of event O (the randomly chosen person is over 50 years old).

Hence, this statement can be given in conditional probability notation as

P(O|R)

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1
Anarel [89]

Answer: The number is 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

The nth term of a sequence is 3n²-1

The nth term of a different sequence is 30–n²

We want to find a number that belongs to both sequences (it is not necessarily for the same value of n) then we can use n in one term (first one), and m in the other (second one), such that n and m must be integer numbers.

we get:

3n²- 1 =  30–m²

Notice that as n increases, the terms of the first sequence also increase.

And as n increases, the terms of the second sequence decrease.

One way to solve this, is to give different values to m (m = 1, m = 2, etc) and see if we can find an integer value for n.

if m = 1, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–1²

3n²- 1 = 29

3n² = 30

n² = 30/3 = 10

n² = 10

There is no integer n such that n² = 10

now let's try with m = 2, then:

3n²- 1 =  30–2² = 30 - 4

3n²- 1 = 26

3n² = 26 + 1 = 27

n² = 27/3 = 9

n² = 9

n = √9 = 3

So here we have m = 2, and n = 3, both integers as we wanted, so we just found the term that belongs to both sequences.

the number is:

3*(3)² - 1 = 26

30 - 2² = 26

The number that belongs to both sequences is 26.
