"A seed randomly blows around a complex habitat. It may land on any of three different soil types: a high-quality soil that give
mestny [16]

Answer:

a. answer to a can be found in the attached file

b. Pr[survival] = Pr[good&survive]+Pr[medium&survive]+Pr[low&survive]=

0.24+0.06+0.05 = 0.35

c. Assume that the seed has a 0.2 chance of dying before it lands in a habitat. What is its  overall probability of survival?

Pr[survival] = Pr[survival|lands] * Pr[lands] = 0.35 * 0.2 = 0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

"A seed randomly blows around a complex habitat. It may land on any of three different soil types: a high-quality soil that gives a 0.8 chance of seed survival, a medium-quality soil that gives a 0.3 chance of survival, and a low-quality soil that gives only a 0.1 chance of survival. These three soil types (high, medium, and low) are present in the habitat in proportions of 30:20:50, respectively. The probability that a seed lands on a particular soil type is proportional to the frequency of that type in the habitat. a. Draw a probability tree to determine the probabilities of survival under all possible circumstances. b. What is the probability of survival of the seed, assuming that it lands"c. Assume that the seed has a 0.2 chance of dying before it lands in a habitat. What is its overall probability of survival?

a. Find the probability tree as attached below

b. Pr[survival] = Pr[good&survive]+Pr[medium&survive]+Pr[low&survive]=

0.24+0.06+0.05 = 0.35

c. Assume that the seed has a 0.2 chance of dying before it lands in a habitat. What is its  overall probability of survival?

Pr[survival] = Pr[survival|lands] * Pr[lands] = 0.35 * 0.2 = 0.07

The value of Peter's house has risen 20% a year for the last 3 years. If the value of Peter's home 3 years ago was $110,000.00,
IRISSAK [1]
Increase $110,000 by 20% 3 times.

110,000 x 0.2 = 22000
(0.2 is 20% as a decimal, we needed to convert it to multiply it)

So we must add 22000 to 110,000, then take 20% of the new cost, and repeat.

Add them
110,000 + 22000 = 132000

Take 20% of new value
132000 x 0.2 = 26400

Add that
132000 + 26400 = 158400

Take another 20% of that
31680

Add them
158400 + 31680 = 190080

So the value is now $190,080

A much more efficient way to do this would be multiplying 1.2 instead of 0.2, and skipping the adding part, as you already took 100% of it and are adding 20% more.

Hope this helps!

Find which term in the geometric sequence 1,3,9,27,... is the first to exceed 7,000.
Zielflug [23.3K]

The common ratio between terms is 3, so the sequence has general n-th term

a_n=3^{n-1}

for n\ge1. The term exceeds 7000 when

3^{n-1}>7000\implies n-1>\log_37000\implies n>1+\log_37000\approx9.06

which means the first time a_n exceeds 7000 occurs when n=10. Indeed,

a_{10}=3^{10-1}=19,683

while the previous term would have been

a_9=3^{9-1}=6561
