$ 524.288

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the sum of a geometric series;

S = (first term)(1-r^n)/(1-r)

= 1(1 - 2^n) / (1 - 2)

= - (1 - 2^n)

= 2^n - 1

2 ^ (20 – 1)

2 ^ 19

= 524,288 cents

100 cents =  1 dollar

524,288 cents = 524,288/ 100 dollars

= $ 524.288

Each time Caroline goes shopping she decides whether or not to buy fruit.
DiKsa [7]

Let event A = Caroline buys fruit, event B = Caroline buys CD, Ac and Bc are complementary events.

Events AB, ABc, AcB and AcBc are jointly exhaustive and disjoint, hence P(AB) + P(ABc) + P(AcB) +P(AcBc) =1.

Events A and B independent, hence Ac and Bc independent too and probability P(AcBc) = P(Ac)*P(Bc) = (1 - P(A))(1-P(B)) = 0.6*0.4 = 0.24.

Required probability P(AB + ABc + AcB ) = P(AB) + P(ABc) + P(AcB) = 1- P(AcBc) = 1 - 0.24 = 0.76.

Answer: Probability that Caroline buys fruit, a CD or both is 0.76.

2.5(10x - 16) = 5 What decimal represents the solution to the equation?
Pavlova-9 [17]

2.5(10x - 16) = 5

2.5 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right

10x - 16 = 5/2.5

10x - 16 = 2

16 is subtracting on the left, then it will add on the right

10x = 2 + 16

10x = 18

10 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right

x = 18/10

x = 1.8
