Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 3(1) - 7 = - 4

a2 = 3(2) - 7 = -1

d = a2 - a1

d = -1 - (-4)

d = -1 + 4

d = 3

a60 = 3(60) - 7

a60 = 180 - 7

a60 = 173

n = 60

Sum = (a1 + a60) * n / 2

Sum = (-4 + 173) * 60/2

Sum = (169)*30

Sum = 5070

==================

Just to check, we'll use the second summation formula

d = 3

n = 60

a1 = -4

Sum = (2*a1 + (n - 1)*d )*n / 2

Sum = (2*(-4) + (60 -1)*3)* 60/2

Sum = (-8 + 59*3) * 30

Sum = (177 - 8)*30

Sum = 169 * 30

Sum = 5070

Same answer.

When randomly choosing two cards from a standard deck of cards without replacement, what is the probability of choosing a face c

Radda [10]

There are 12 face cards and 4 aces to choose from. For the first card, the probability of drawing a face is $\dfrac{\binom{12}1}{\binom{52}1}=\dfrac{12}{52}$ . Then the probability of drawing an ace second is $\dfrac{\binom41}{\binom{51}1}=\dfrac4{51}$ .

So the probability of drawing these two particular cards in the given order is

$\dfrac{12}{52}\cdot\dfrac4{51}=\dfrac4{221}$
