Although the number of new wildflowers is decreasing, the total number of flowers is increasing every year (assuming flowers aren't dying or otherwise being removed). Every year, 25% of the number of new flowers from the previous year are added.
The sigma notation would be:
∑ (from n=1 to ∞) 4800 * (1/4)ⁿ , where n is the year.
Remember that this notation should give us the sum of all new flowers from year 1 to infinite, and the values of new flowers for each year should match those given in the table for years 1, 2, and 3
This means the total number of flowers equals:
Year 1: 4800 * 1/4 = 1200 ]
+
Year 2: 4800 * (1/4)² = 300
+
Year 3: 4800 * (1/4)³ = 75
+
Year 4: 4800 * (1/4)⁴ = 18.75 = ~19 (we can't have a part of a flower)
+
Year 5: 4800 * (1/4)⁵ = 4.68 = ~ 5
+
Year 6: 4800 * (1/4)⁶ = 1.17 = ~1
And so on. As you can see, it in the years that follow the number of flowers added approaches zero. Thus, we can approximate the infinite sum of new flowers using just Years 1-6:
1200 + 300 + 75 + 19 + 5 + 1 = 1,600
308 + 397 + 389 + 286 = 1380

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability is
P
(
A
)
=
1
3
Explanation:
To calculate the probability you have to count the number of all possible results
|
Ω
|
and the number of results that fulfill the given condition
|
A
|
.
In this case
Ω
=
{
1
,
2
,
3
,
4
,
5
,
6
}
Thereare 6 possible result of a dice toss. So
|
Ω
|
=
6
The given condition is "the result is divisible by
3
", so
A
=
{
3
,
6
}
- those are the only numbers divisible by
3
, so
|
A
|
=
2
.
Finally to calculate the probability we have to divide
|
A
|
by
|
Ω
|
.
P
(
A
)
=
|
A
|
|
Ω
|
=
2
6
=
1
3
Note The probability is never larger than
1
, so if you get such result then there must be a mistake in calculations.
