I don't think you're stupid. ^^
Let's take the third term, 8. If n=3, then an should be 8.
The first answer gives 15+2.5*3=22.5.
The second answer gives 15.5+2.5=23.
The third answer gives 15-2.5*3=7.5.
The fourth answer gives 15.5-2.5*3=8.
Choice 4 is correct.
Let's try to actually find the equation on our own.
The equation for an arithmetic series is an=a0+dn where a0 is the term that comes before the first term.
The first term given is 13 and it decreases by 2.5 each time so n=-2.5 and the term that would be before 13 is 15.5.
Thus the equation is an=15.5-2.5n
The diagram is of a right triangle with
Hypotenuse = 233
One leg of the triangle = 105
Another Leg = <em>we have to find</em>

Pythagorean Theorem can be written as:

Thus, we can write:
![\begin{gathered} 105^2+\text{AnotherLeg}^2=233^2 \\ \text{AnotherLeg}^2=233^2-105^2 \\ \text{AnotherLeg}^2=43264 \\ \text{AnotherLeg}=\sqrt[]{43264} \\ \text{AnotherLeg}=208\text{ ft} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20105%5E2%2B%5Ctext%7BAnotherLeg%7D%5E2%3D233%5E2%20%5C%5C%20%5Ctext%7BAnotherLeg%7D%5E2%3D233%5E2-105%5E2%20%5C%5C%20%5Ctext%7BAnotherLeg%7D%5E2%3D43264%20%5C%5C%20%5Ctext%7BAnotherLeg%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B43264%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5Ctext%7BAnotherLeg%7D%3D208%5Ctext%7B%20ft%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Thus,
The distance between the traffic lights on Walnut Street is:
208 feet
Answer:
A reasonable estimate of the probability is equal to
or 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.
The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes
The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.
so
Let
x------> size of the event space
y-----> size of the sample space
so

In this problem we have


substitute
