Answer:

0.2915

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent water and D represent Dying probability

W = water

D = die

 

->If with water, it will die with probability 0.4

P(W & D) = 0.82 x 0.4 = 0.328

->Without water the plant will die with probability 0.75

P(W ' & D) = 0.18 x 0.75 = 0.135

Taking sum of the above values with water and without water.

P(D) = P(W & D) +  P(W ' & D) = 0.4643

P(W ' | D) = P(W ' & D) / P(D)

= 0.135 /0.463

= 0.2915 ≈ 29.15%

Thus, the probability the neighbor forgot to water is 0.2915

What is the rule for the following sequence: 2, 9, 21, 65
Helga [31]

There is no common ratio or common difference. The first three terms increases more slowly than a cubic, but the last three increase more quickly than the cube of n. The pattern is not obvious to me. When the sequence is cast in recursive terms, you get

... a[n] = (48/13)a[n-2] + (59/39)a[n-1] . . . . a[1] = 2, a[2] = 9

The next term using this rule is 174 34/39, not an integer.

The coefficients p and q for a[n-2] and a[n-1] can be found from

2p+9q=21\\9p+21q=65

_____

Any sequence of 4 numbers can be matched by a polynomial of degree 3 or less. Here, a calculator's polynomial regression function tells us the rule could be

... a[n] = 4.5n³ -24.5n² +49n -27

Using this rule, the next two terms are 168 and 357.
