Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term = ar^(n-1)

a3 = 1/8;   ar² = 1/8

a6 = 1;      ar⁵ = 1

ar^{2}*r^{3}=1\\\\\frac{1}{8}*r^{3}=1\\\\r^{3}=1*8\\\\r^{3}=8\\\\r^{3}=2^{3}\\\\r=2

ar^{2}=\frac{1}{8}\\\\a*2^{2}=\frac{1}{8}\\\\a*4=\frac{1}{8}\\\\a=\frac{1}{8*4}\\\\a=\frac{1}{32}\\\\

Suppose I have an urn with 9 balls: 4 green, 3 yellow and 2 white ones. I draw a ball from the urn repeatedly with replacement.
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

E(X_n)=\frac{2(n-1)}{27}

E(y)=\frac{14}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size n=9

Number of Green g=4

Number of yellow y=4

Number of white w=4

Probability of Green Followed by yellow P(GY) ball

 P(GY)=\frac{4}{9}*\frac{3}{9}

 P(GY)=\frac{4}{27}

Generally the equations for when n is even is mathematically given by

 Probability of success P(S)=\frac{4}{27}

 Probability of Failure P(F)=\frac{27-4}{27}

 Probability of Failure P(F)=\frac{23}{27}

Therefore

 E(X_n)=\frac{n}{2}*P

 E(X_n)=\frac{n}{2}*\frac{4}{27}

 E(X_n)=\frac{2n}{27}

Generally the equations for when n is odd is mathematically given by

 \frac{n-1}{2}

 E(X_n)=\frac{n-1}{2}*\frac{4}{27}

 E(X_n)=\frac{2(n-1)}{27}

b)

Probability of drawing white ball

 P(w)=\frac{2}{9}

Therefore

 E(w)=\frac{1}{p}

 E(w)=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{9}}

 E(w)=\frac{9}{2}

Therefore

 E(y)=[E(w)-1]\frac{4}{9}

 E(y)=[\frac{9}{2}-1]\frac{4}{9}

 E(y)=\frac{14}{9}

Find the value of the variable(s). If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.

Answers:
x = 24
y = 8√3
Explanation:

1) Since, the given triangle is a right triangle, and you have both an angle and the hypotenuse length, you can use some trigonometric ratios to find the variables.

2) The variables given represent:

x: adjacent-leg to angle 30°
y: opposite length to angle 30°

3) sine ratio:

sin 30° = opposite-leg / hypotenuse = y / (16√3)

⇒ y = 16√3 sin 30° = 16√3 × (1/2) = 8√3

4) cosine ratio

cos 30° = adjacent-leg / hypotenuse = x / (16√3)

⇒ x = 16√3 cos 30° = 16√3 (√3 / 2) = 16 × 3 / 2 = 24
