Captain Ishaan has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is four furlongs from the dread pirate Michael and his merciless ban

d of thieves.
If his ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Ishaan has a probability 5/2 If his ship has been hit, Captain Ishaan will always miss.
If his ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Michael has a probability 8/3 of hitting the Captain's ship. If his ship has been hit, dread pirate Michael will always miss.

If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the Captain shoots first, what is the probability that both the Captain and the pirate hit each other's ships?

Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of event A happening, then event B, is the probability of event A happening times the probability of event B happening given that event A already happened.

In this case, event A is the Captain hitting the pirate ship and event B is the pirate hitting the Captain's ship.

The Captain fires first, so his ship can't be sunk before he fires his cannons.

So, the probability of the Captain hitting the pirate ship is 2/5  

If the Captain hit the pirate ship, the pirate has no chance of firing back.

So, the probability of the pirate hitting the Captain's ship given the Captain hitting the pirate ship is 0.

The 10th term in the sequence is 2560 what is the 11th term in the sequence
joja [24]

Full Question:

The 4th term of a g.p. is 40 and the 10th term in the sequence is 2560, what is the 11th term in the sequence ?

Answer:

the 11 the term is 5120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Geometry Progression

4th term = 40

10th term = 2560

Required

11 term.

The nth term of a geometric sequence is calculated as follows

Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹

For the 4th term, n = 4 and Tₙ = 40

Substitute these in the given formula; this gives

40 = ar⁴⁻¹

40 = ar³. --;; equation 1

For the 10th term, n = 10 and Tₙ = 2560

Substitute these in the given formula; this gives

2560 = ar¹⁰⁻¹

2560 = ar⁹. --;; equation 2

Divide equation 2 by 1. This gives

2560/40 = ar⁹/ar³

64 = r⁹/r³

From laws of indices

64 = r⁹⁻³

64 = r⁶

Find 6th root of both sides

(64)^1/6 = r

r = (2⁶)^1/6

r = 2

Substitute r = 2 in equation 1

40 = ar³. Becomes

40 = a * 2³

40 = a * 8

40 = 8a

Divide both sides by 8

40/8 = 8a/8

5 = a

a = 5.

Now, the 11 term can be solved using Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹ where n = 11

So,

Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹ becomes

Tₙ = 5 * 2¹¹⁻¹

Tₙ = 5 * 2¹¹⁻¹

Tₙ = 5 * 2¹⁰

Tₙ = 5 * 1024

Tₙ = 5120.

Henxe, the 11 the term is 5120

The mens taxable is income is rs 14280 the state tex instruction tel him to pay 2%on the first rs3000 of his taxable incom 3% on
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Rs. 451.2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a men's total taxable income is Rs. 14,280.

He is charged by the state tax for 2% on the first Rs. 3000.

i.e. $2 \% \times 3000$

   $=\frac{2}{100} \times 3000$

  = Rs. 60

Then he is asked to pay 3% on the second Rs. 3000

i.e. $3 \% \times 3000$

   $=\frac{3}{100} \times 3000$

  = Rs. 90

Similarly, he pays 3% on the third Rs. 3000

i.e. $3 \% \times 3000$

   $=\frac{3}{100} \times 3000$

  = Rs. 90

Lastly, he pays 4% on the remaining amount. i.e 14,280 - (3000+3000+3000) = 14,280 - 9000 = Rs. 5280

∴$4 \% \times 5280 $

   $=\frac{4}{100} \times 5280$

  = Rs. 211.2

Thus the total amount of the income tax the man has to pay is

= 60+90+90+211.2

= Rs. 451.2
