Answer:

6561 / 128

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

a = a₁ (r)ⁿ⁻¹

The first term is 3, and the fourth term is 81/8.

81/8 = 3 (r)⁴⁻¹

27/8 = r³

r = 3/2

The eighth term is therefore:

a = 3 (3/2)⁸⁻¹

a = 6561 / 128

11×1.5=16.5 $ per hour

16.5 ×7 =115.5 $ - total for overtime

11×2 = 22$ per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We can subtract the probability none of them have been vaccinated from 1.

If 52% of people are vaccinated, then 48% of people are not vaccinated.

Thus, the probability is $1-(0.48)^{5} =\frac{9516793}{9765625}$
