The iterative rule for the sequence is a_n = 8 · ( 0.5 )ⁿ ⁻ ¹

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Firstly , let us learn about types of sequence in mathematics.

Arithmetic Progression is a sequence of numbers in which each of adjacent numbers have a constant difference.

\boxed{T_n = a + (n-1)d}

\boxed{S_n = \frac{1}{2}n ( 2a + (n-1)d )}

<em>Tn = n-th term of the sequence</em>

<em>Sn = sum of the first n numbers of the sequence</em>

<em>a = the initial term of the sequence</em>

<em>d = common difference between adjacent numbers</em>

Geometric Progression is a sequence of numbers in which each of adjacent numbers have a constant ration.

\boxed{T_n = a ~ r^{n-1}}

\boxed{S_n = \frac{a( 1 - r^n ) }{1 - r}}

<em>Tn = n-th term of the sequence</em>

<em>Sn = sum of the first n numbers of the sequence</em>

<em>a = the initial term of the sequence</em>

<em>r = common ratio between adjacent numbers</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

<u>Given:</u>

a₁ = 8

a₂ = 4

a₃ = 2

a₄ = 1

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we find the ratio by following formula:</em>

r = a_2 \div a_1 = 4 \div 8 = 0.5

\texttt{ }

<em>The iterative rule for the sequence:</em>

a_n = a_1 \cdot~ r^{n-1}

a_n = 8 \cdot~ (0.5)^{n-1}

\texttt{ }

The probability distribution for the random variable x follows. x f(x) 20 0.20 25 0.15 30 0.30 35 0.35 (a) Is this probability d
Damm [24]

Answer:

(a) The probability distribution is valid.

(b) The probability that x = 30 is 0.30.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of the random variable <em>X</em> is:

<em>    x</em>:  20   |  25  |  30   |   35

f (<em>x</em>): 0.20 | 0.15 | 0.30 | 0.35

(a)

The properties of a probability distribution are:

  1. 0 ≤ P (X) ≤ 1
  2. ∑ P (X) = 1

All the probability value are more than 0 and less than 1.

Compute the sum of all the probabilities as follows:

\sum P(X)=0.20+0.15+0.30+0.35=1

The sum of all probabilities is 1.

Thus, the probability distribution is valid.

(b)

Consider the probability distribution table.

The probability of <em>X</em> = 30 is,

P (X = 30) = 0.30.

Thus, the probability that x = 30 is 0.30.

A glass is 1/3 full.
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

216 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3x + 63 = 5/8x

subtract 1/3x from each side; (1/3x = 8/24x  and  5/8x = 15/24x)

63 = 7/24x

7x = 63(24)

7x = 1512

x = 216

What's the hight of a million pennies
TiliK225 [7]

The thickness of a brand new US penny that hasn't been
worn down is 1.52 millimeters.

If you have a million pennies, there are many ways to arrange them.
You can pile them all in one pile, or shovel them into many piles, or
stack them up in any number of stacks up to a half-million stacks
with two pennies in each stack, or try somehow to stack them all up
in one stack that's a million thicknesses high.

Any stack with 'n' pennies in the stack is  1.52n millimeters high.

If you somehow succeed in stacking all million of them in one stack,
then the height of that stack would be . . .

       (1,000,000) x (1.52 mm) =  1,520,000 millimeters
                                                         152,000 centimeters
                                                             1,520 meters
                                                               1.52 kilometers

                                            (about 59,842.5 inches
                                                          4,986.9 feet
                                                         1,662.3 yards
                                                               7.56 furlongs
                                                            0.944 mile
                                                                  all rounded)
