What is the third term of the sequence defined by the recursive rule f(1)=2, f(n)=2f(n-1) +1

1 answer:

7 0

The function is defined recursively. In order to calulate f(3), f(2) and f(1) must be known. f(1) is given f(1) = 2 f(2) is then calculated f(2) = 2 * f(1) + 1 = 2 * 1 + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3 Finally f(3) can be calculated given f(2)=3 f(3)= 2 * f(2) + 1 = 2 * 3 + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7

dion flips a coin 20 times and records if it comes up heads. if getting heads is a success, what is the probability of a success

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of success (getting heads) on one roll DOESNT affect other rolls, so we need to find probability of getting a head in a roll.

Probability is defined as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

Here, favorable outcome is getting a head. So, on one roll, getting a head is 1. Also, the total number of outcomes is either a head or a tail. So total number of outcomes is 2.

Thus,

P(Heads) = 1/2
