The Geometric Sequence Formula:
We have:
Substitute:
Answer:
216/343 or 0.6297 (4dp)
Step-by-step explanation:
Anytime the probability of an event occurs more than once in a particular order (one time after another in the same instance), then the probability is multiplied together. If the probability of him making the shot is 1/7, then the probability of him missing it is 6/7. This is because this is the only other possible outcomes and all outcome probabilities must add to 1 (1-1/7 - 6/7).
So, if he misses it three times in a row then the probability is:
6/7 (probability miss this first time) x 6/7 (probability miss second time) x 6/7 (probability miss 3rd time).
6/7 x 6/7 x 6/7 = 216/343
or 0.6297 (4dp)
Hope this helped!
x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! A variable doesn't have to be "x", it could be "y", "w" or any letter, name or symbol.
Answer: B Scientific Method
Solve the equation:
– 3b – (– 2) = 4b <span>– 12
</span>– 3b + 2 = 4b – 12
– 3b = 4b – 12 – 2
– 3b = 4b – 14
– 3b – 4b = – 14
– 7b = – 14
– 14
b = ———
– 7
b = 2 <——— solution.
I hope this helps. =)
