i need help with this questions asap please. A grocery clerk is making a display of oranges. The numbers of oranges in the layer

s of the display form a sequence, with the top layer counting as layer 1. The explicit rule f(n) = (n + 1)2 describes this sequence, where n is a whole number greater than 0. Will 50 oranges be enough to complete the top 4 layers of the display?

Answer:

If there is 1 at the top, then you have 1, then 2, then 3, etc.

total number of oranges equals:

1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 16 + 17 + 18 <-- stop at  18 because this is the number of oranges at the base

You can use the formula:

sum of first n numbers = n*(n + 1)/2

-->

18*19/2 = 9*19 = 171

or you can figure it out (basically derive the above formula):

you have:

1 + 18 = 19

2 + 17 = 19

3 + 16 = 19

...

How many pairs do you have?  Well, it's just the number of numbers: 1-18 = 18 numbers (divide by 2) = 9 pairs)

9 pairs of 19 = 9 * 19 = 171

Hope this helps!

Which ordered pair would form a proportional relationship with the point graphed below? (60,-20)
valentina_108 [34]

Given:

The graphed point is (60,-20).

To find:

The ordered pair that would form a proportional relationship with the given point.

Solution:

If y is proportional to x, then

y\propto x

y=kx

\dfrac{y}{x}=k

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

For the given point,

k=\dfrac{-20}{60}

k=\dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (A),

k=\dfrac{30}{-10}

k=-3\neq \dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (B),

k=\dfrac{-15}{30}

k=-\dfrac{1}{2}\neq \dfrac{-1}{3}

For option (C),

k=\dfrac{10}{-30}

k=\dfrac{-1}{3}.

The point (-30,10) gives the same value of the constant of proportionality. So, the point (-30,10) forms a proportional relationship with the given point.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Frank chooses a box at random. If boxes 1 and 3 are chosen, Frank extracts 2 balls without replacement. If box 2 is chosen Frank
mars1129 [50]

Complete question:

Consider 3 boxes, each of which contains 4 balls in particular, box 1 contains 4 white balls, box 2 contains 3 white balls and 1 red ball, box 3 contains 2 white balls and 2 red balls. Frank chooses a box at random. If boxes 1 and 3 are chosen, Frank extracts 2 balls without replacement. If box 2 is chosen Frank extracts 2 balls with replacement. USE ONLY THE CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY FORMALISM and derive an expression for the probability that the 2 extracted balls are red.

Answer:

11/288

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Box 1: ( 4White, ORed)

Box 2: (3White, 1Red)

Box 3: (2White, 2 Red)

We are told that if Frank choose from Box 1 and Box 3, 2 balls are extracted without replacement.

Since there is no red ball in Box 1, there is no way 2 red balls will come out from Box1.

Our Event, E = getting 2 red balls.

Now Box 1 is ruled out, we have:

P[E(B1)]= 0

P[E/B3)] = (2 2) / (4 2)

= 1/6

If box 2 is chosen, 2 balls are extracted with replacement. Therefore for Box 2:

P(E/B2) = (1/4) *(1/4)

= 1/16

Therefore probability that 2 balls extracted are red, we have:

P(E)=P(E/B1) P(B1) + P(E/B2) P(B2)+P(E/B3) P(B3)

= 0 * \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}*\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{16}*\frac{1}{3}

= 11/288
