Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Sum = -119,962                    ( I hope!)

Discussion:

Let's determine the pattern.

first term:  -3

2nd term:  (-3) * (-6) = 18                     (multiply first term by -6)

3rd  term:  (18) * (-6) = -108                 (multiply 2nd term by -6)

4th term :  (-108)*(-6) = 648                ( etc)

5th term :  (648)*(-6) =  -3888            (etc)

6th term :  (-3888)*(-6) = 23328         (etc)

7th term:   (23328)*(-6) =  -139967     (etc)


Sum = -119,962


A simpler way to do this is to use the formula for the sum of a geometric series to n terms. The series is

-3  Sum ( -6)^n                n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6


Regards,  

MrB

P.S.  I'll be on vacation from Friday, Dec 22 to Jan 2, 2019. Have a Great New Year!

First bring 3x to the other side, which will give you -2y= -16-3y. Then divide everything by -2, which will give you y=8+3/2x

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

D) Yes. The five trials are independent, have only two outcomes, and have the same P(success); n = 5, r = 2, p = 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Number of boxes = 6

Box containing a prize = 1

Probability of success, p = box containing a price / number of boxes = 1 /6

Number of trials = 5

Probability of success on exactly 2 trials, r = 2

Hence,

P(r = 2) = nCr * p^r * (1-p)^(n-r)

n = 5 ; r = 2 ; p = 1/6

Using a binomial probability calculator :

P(r = 2) = 0.1608

        equations are (174+106) (112+165) (121+168) (172+113)
i think this is correct because you need morning and evening combined to know a exact answer.  
you can check this by calculating you equations and u will end up with Wednesday as the longest amount of miles
