$2.00 in quarters is 8 quarters, since 1 quarter is 25 cents.
Out of those 8 quarters, only 3 are state quarters.
That means 5 are not state quarters.
So there is a 5/8 chance that the first quarter he takes out is not a state quarter.
If it is not, then there are 3 state quarters and 7 total quarters left, which means a 4/7 chance that the second quarter is not a state quarter.
To find the probability of both of these quarters not being state quarters, multiply the probabilities by each other.
4/7 • 5/8 = 20/56
Now simplify:
20/56 = 10/28 = 5/14
5/14 is in simplest form, so it is the answer.
So the answer is D. 5/14.

An arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers in which the distance (or difference) between any two successive numbers if t
notsponge [240]

Answer:[m, m+d, m+2d, - - - - -, n]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the formula for arithmetic progression is a_(n) = a_(1) + (n-1)d

Where a_(n) is the nth term of the sequence

a_(1) is the first term of the sequence

n is the number of the term like if we are talking about 7th term so the n is 7.

d is the difference between two successive terms.

For this problem we know our first term that is m, our last term that is n and our difference that is d.

For second term we will use the formula

a_(2) = m + (2-1)d

a_(2) = m + (1)d

a_(2) = m + d

Similarly,

a_(3) = m + (3-1)d

a_(3) = m + (2)d

a_(3) = m + 2d
