<h2>C & D</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two general types of sequences that follow a pattern, geometric and arithmetic. Let's see the difference between the two:

An arithmetic sequence is produced by adding the same number to all the terms in the sequence.

EXAMPLE:

5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 (The number 2 is added to all terms)

To figure out if a sequence is arithmetic, subtract the first term from the second, then the second from the third and so on until you have checked all the terms.

7 - 5 = 2

9 - 7 = 2

11 - 9 = 2

13 - 11 = 2

15 - 13 = 2

17 - 15 = 2

All results equal 2, so the sequence is arithmetic

From your list: The following sequences are arithmetic

A. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 (common difference of 5)

The next type of sequence is the geometric sequence.

A geometric sequence is produced when the all the terms in the sequence are multiplied or divided by the same number.

EXAMPLE:

100, 50, 25 (Each term is divided by 2)

To figure this out, we divide each term in the sequence by the next term.

100 / 50 = 2

50 / 25 = 2

All results are two, so this sequence can be confirmed to be geometric

From your list: The following sequences are geometric

C. 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125 (common quotient of 2)

D. -9, -3, -1, -1/3, -1/9, -1/27 (common quotient of -3)

There is one final type of sequence, which has no common difference, sum, quotient, or product.

EXAMPLE:

5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15

This sequence has a pattern, the differences between the numbers are not common.

6 - 5 = 1

8 - 6 = 2

9 - 8 = 1

11 - 9 = 2

12 - 11 = 1

14 - 12 = 2

15 - 14 = 1

From your list: The following sequences are neither geometric nor arithmetic

B. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 (No pattern)

if you roll a fair 6-sided die 9 times, what is the probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4?
Kay [80]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.857 = 85.7% probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4.

For each die, there are only two possible outcomes, either a 3 or a 4 is rolled, or it is not. The result of a roll is independent of any other roll, hence, the <em>binomial distribution</em> is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • There are 9 rolls, hence n = 9.
  • Of the six sides, 2 are 3 or 4, hence p = \frac{2}{6} = 0.3333

The desired probability is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{9,0}.(0.3333)^{0}.(0.6667)^{9} = 0.026

P(X = 1) = C_{9,1}.(0.3333)^{1}.(0.6667)^{8} = 0.117

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.026 + 0.117 = 0.143

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.143 = 0.857

0.857 = 85.7% probability that at least 2 of the rolls come up as a 3 or a 4.
