Answer:
How to Conduct a Simulation
Describe the possible outcomes.
Link each outcome to one or more random numbers.
Choose a source of random numbers.
Choose a random number.
Based on the random number, note the "simulated" outcome.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 multiple times; preferably, until the outcomes show a stable pattern
Answer: It's not a polynomial
It's not a polynomial because the exponent of -1 in the second term. The exponents for any polynomial must be nonnegative whole numbers {0,1,2,3,...}
Change 48% to 0.48
0.48 x 18 = 8.64
rounded would be 9
Of course, they are not equivalent.
One has an extra π in the equation.
Each time you are subtracting 1/9 to get the next term
For example, going from term 2 to term 3 is a difference of -1/9
(1 8/9) - (1/9) = 1 7/9
which is why the answer is choice A
