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}\\\\

on a large college campus, 84% of the students report drinking alcohol within the past month, 33% report using some type of toba
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:  0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denotes the event that the students report drinking alcohol and B denotes the students report using some type of tobacco product .

Given : P(A) =0.84   ; P(B)=0.33    and        P(A∪B)=0.86

We know that P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)

Then, the probability that the student both drunk alcohol and used tobacco in the past month is given by :-

 P(A\cap B)=0.84+0.33-0.86=0.31

Hence, the probability that the student both drunk alcohol and used tobacco in the past month = 0.31
