This is called a difference of squares which always factors according to the rule for factoring the difference of squares....

(a^2+b^2)=(a+b)(a-b) in this case:

9w^2-16 so

$\bf \textit{sum of an infinite geometric serie}\\\\
S=\sum\limits_{i=0}^{\infty}\ a_1\cdot r^i\implies \cfrac{a_1}{1-r}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
a_1=65\\
r=\frac{1}{6}
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{65}{1-\frac{1}{6}}$

The number of customers waiting for gift-wrap service at a department store is an rv X with possible values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and co

FrozenT [24]

Let $Y_i$ denote the number of packages brought by customer $i$ . If, for instance, $X=2$ customers are in line, then the total number of packages is $Y=Y_1+Y_2$ , and

$P(Y=y)=P(Y_1=y_1,Y_2=y_2)=P(Y_1=y_1)P(Y_2=y_2)$

since the number of packages brought by any customer is independent from the number of packages brought by any other.

a. $P(X=3,Y=3)$ is the probability that a total of 3 packages are waiting to get wrapped from among a total of 3 customers. This means each customer must have exactly one package. So

$P(X=3,Y=3)=P(X=3)P(Y=3)^3\approx0.0416$

b. $P(X=4,Y=11)$ is the probability that a total of 11 packages are brought by 4 customers. The only way for there to be 11 packages is if 3 customers bring 3 packages and the last 1 brings 2. There are $\dbinom43=4$ ways this can happen, so

$P(X=4,Y=11)=4P(X=4)P(Y=3)^3P(Y=2)\approx0.0002$

Which situation best represents causation?

kozerog [31]

I think the answer here would be D. When it rains several inches, the water level of the lake increases, because the word Causation means: the relationship between cause and effect; causality. If it rains a lot, it will cause the lake to increase.
