Hey there! I'm happy to help!

PART A

There are 3 $1 bills, 1 $5 bill, and 1 $10 bill. This gives us 5 total bills.

First, we want to find the probability of winning $12. Well, to win, you have to draw the $10 bill. You only have room for two dollars beforehand to equal $12 dollars after pulling out the ten. So, this is the probability of drawing two one dollar bills and the the ten. Let's calculate this below.

\frac{3}{5} *\frac{1}{2} *\frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{10}

Where did I get these numbers from? Well 3 of the 5 bills are $1, so the first probability is 3/5. Then, if we draw one of the $1 bills, there are only 2 of those left and 4 total bills, so the probability is then one half. Finally, there would be only 3 left and you need to pick the $10 bill, which is a probability of 1/3.

The probability of winning $12 is 1/10 or 10%.

PART B

Now, we want to find the probability of picking every single bill before the ten. This means that we pick the three one dollar bills and the five dollar bill before the ten.

To pick the first $1 bill, our probability is 3/5, and then for the second it is 1/2. For the third, there are three total cards and 1 $1 bill, so the probability is 1/3. Then we have a 1/2 chance of picking the $5 bill over the $10 bill, giving us this solution.

\frac{3}{5} * \frac{1}{2} * \frac {1}{3} * \frac{1}{2}= \frac{1}{20}

The probability of winning all bills in the urn is 1/20 or 5%.

PART C

For this event, we want to get any bill that isn't the $10 and then we want the $10 on the second one.

Since there are 4 bills that aren't the $10, our first probability is 4/5. Then, we only have 4 left, with 1 being the $10, so our second probability is 1/4.

\frac{4}{5}*\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{5}

The probability of the game stopping at the second draw is 1/5 or 20%.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Make a conjecture about the next item in the sequence. 6, 9, 7, 10, 8?
inessss [21]

Answer:

"The next term should be 11"

Step-by-step explanation:

If we look closely at the sequence we can see:

second term is 3 more than previous

third term is 2 less than previous

fourth term is 3 more than previous

fifth term is 2 less than previous

We can see a pattern. To get next terms, we add 3, to get next to that, we subtract 2. It goes on like this.

Since 4th term to 5th term is "subtracting 2", logically 5th to 6th term (the term we are wanting) should be "add 3". So the term after 8 would be 11

The next term would be 11
