While training for a marathon, Jeff wants to increase the number of miles he runs each day. On the first day of training, Jeff r

uns 5 miles. He plans on increasing the number of miles he runs a day by 1 for the remainder of the week. Write a series to model the situation.
Also the series doesn't have to be more than seven numbers*****

Answer:

The series is 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the arithmetic series

- In the arithmetic series there is a constant difference between

 each two consecutive numbers

- Ex:

# 2  ,  5  ,  8  ,  11  ,  ……………………….  (constant difference is 3)

# 5  ,  10  ,  15  ,  20  ,  …………………………  (constant difference is 5)

# 12  ,  10  ,  8  ,  6  ,  ……………………………  (constant difference is -2)

* General term (nth term) of an Arithmetic series:

- If the first term is a and the common diffidence is d, then

 U1 = a  ,  U2  = a + d  ,  U3  = a + 2d  ,  U4 = a + 3d  ,  U5 = a + 4d

- So the nth term is Un = a + (n – 1)d, where n is the position of the

 number in the series

* Lets solve the problem

- Jeff wants to increase the number of miles he runs each day

∴ He will add the initial value by constant number each day

- He plans on increasing the number of miles he runs a day by 1

∴ The constant value is 1 mile

-  On the first day of training, Jeff runs 5 miles

∴ The first value is 5 miles

∴ The series is arithmetic

∵ a = 5 , d = 1

- He do that for the remainder of the week

∵ The week has 7 days

∴ The series has 7 terms

∵ The rule of the series is Un = a + (n - 1)d

∵ a = 5 and d = 1

∴ Un = 5 + (n - 1)(1)

∴ Un = 5 + n - 1

∴ Un = 4 + n ⇒ n is the position of the number

- Substitute n from 1 to 7 to find the series

∴ The series is 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11

You read online that the probability of being dealt four‑of‑a‑kind in a five‑card poker hand is 1 / 4165. Explain carefully what
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

There is about 4,164/4,165 chances of not getting getting a four of a kind. So, it is extremely unlikely or even borderline impossible in that situation to get a four of a kind.

<u>But in the long run, it can be increased only if you keep drawing.  So, the awnser would have to be. D  </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

A. It does mean that if you are dealt 4165 five‑card poker hands, one will be four‑of‑a‑kind.

B.  It does not mean that all will be four‑of‑a‑kind. The probability is actually saying that only on the 4165 the poker hand will you get a four‑of‑a‑kind, not just on any of the 4165 poker hands.

C. The probability is actually saying that in the long run, with a large number of five‑card poker hands, the fraction in which you will be dealt a four‑of‑a‑kind is 1 / 4165.

D. The chance you will be dealt four‑of‑a‑kind is 1 / 4165 only on the first hand. This chance will then increase with each new hand you are dealt until you eventually win
