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

Write the slope-intercept form of 3x-2y=-16

Arada [10]

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

In a carnival game, there are six identical boxes, one of which contains a prize. A contestant wins the prize by selecting the b

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

geniusboy [140]

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
