ANSWER

$a_n = 11 - 3n$

EXPLANATION

The explicit rule for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

$a_n = a_1 + d(n - 1)$

It was given that:

$a_1 = 8$

and

$a_2 = 3$

The common difference is

$d = 5 - 8 = - 3$

We plug in the values into the explicit formula to get,

$a_n = 8+ - 3(n - 1)$

Expand to get,

$a_n = 8 - 3n + 3$

The explicit rule is

$a_n = 11 - 3n$

Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university, and let A be the event that the selected student has a Visa card an

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1) is not possible

2) P(A∪B) = 0.7

3) 1- P(A∪B) =0.3

4) a) C=A∩B' and P(C)= 0.3

b) P(D)= 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) since the intersection of 2 events cannot be bigger than the smaller event then is not possible that P(A∩B)=0.5 since P(B)=0.4 . Thus the maximum possible value of P(A∩B) is 0.4

2) denoting A= getting Visa card , B= getting MasterCard the probability of getting one of the types of cards is given by

P(A∪B)= P(A)+P(B) - P(A∩B) = 0.6+0.4-0.3 = 0.7

P(A∪B) = 0.7

3) the probability that a student has neither type of card is 1- P(A∪B) = 1-0.7 = 0.3

4) the event C that the selected student has a visa card but not a MasterCard is given by C=A∩B' , where B' is the complement of B. Then

P(C)= P(A∩B') = P(A) - P(A∩B) = 0.6 - 0.3 = 0.3

the probability for the event D=a student has exactly one of the cards is

P(D)= P(A∩B') + P(A'∩B) = P(A∪B) - P(A∩B) = 0.7 - 0.3 = 0.4

What is 710,200 written in word form

Julli [10]

For this case we have the following number:
710200
We are going to decompose this number as the sum of three numbers:
 $710200 = 700000 + 10000 + 200
$
 Let's now write each number:
70000: seven hundred thousand
10000: ten thousand
200: two hundred
Therefore, the complete expression is:
Seven hundred ten thousand two hundred
Answer:
Seven hundred ten thousand two hundred
