Answer:

Probability is : \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Chang has 2 shirts: a white one and a black one.

The probability of choosing the white shirt is \frac{1}{2}

Chang has 2 pairs of pants: one blue and one tan.

The probability of choosing the tan pants is \frac{1}{2}

Here both the events are independent.

Therefore the probability of wearing the white shirt and tan pants is:

\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{4}

Lim (n/3n-1)^(n-1)<br> n<br> →<br> ∞
n200080 [17]

Looks like the given limit is

\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \left(\frac n{3n-1}\right)^{n-1}

With some simple algebra, we can rewrite

\dfrac n{3n-1} = \dfrac13 \cdot \dfrac n{n-9} = \dfrac13 \cdot \dfrac{(n-9)+9}{n-9} = \dfrac13 \cdot \left(1 + \dfrac9{n-9}\right)

then distribute the limit over the product,

\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \left(\frac n{3n-1}\right)^{n-1} = \lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\dfrac13\right)^{n-1} \cdot \lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac9{n-9}\right)^{n-1}

The first limit is 0, since 1/3ⁿ is a positive, decreasing sequence. But before claiming the overall limit is also 0, we need to show that the second limit is also finite.

For the second limit, recall the definition of the constant, <em>e</em> :

\displaystyle e = \lim_{n\to\infty} \left(1+\frac1n\right)^n

To make our limit resemble this one more closely, make a substitution; replace 9/(<em>n</em> - 9) with 1/<em>m</em>, so that

\dfrac{9}{n-9} = \dfrac1m \implies 9m = n-9 \implies 9m+8 = n-1

From the relation 9<em>m</em> = <em>n</em> - 9, we see that <em>m</em> also approaches infinity as <em>n</em> approaches infinity. So, the second limit is rewritten as

\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac9{n-9}\right)^{n-1} = \lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^{9m+8}

Now we apply some more properties of multiplication and limits:

\displaystyle \lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^{9m+8} = \lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^{9m} \cdot \lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^8 \\\\ = \lim_{m\to\infty}\left(\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^m\right)^9 \cdot \left(\lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)\right)^8 \\\\ = \left(\lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)^m\right)^9 \cdot \left(\lim_{m\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac1m\right)\right)^8 \\\\ = e^9 \cdot 1^8 = e^9

So, the overall limit is indeed 0:

\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \left(\frac n{3n-1}\right)^{n-1} = \underbrace{\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\dfrac13\right)^{n-1}}_0 \cdot \underbrace{\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac9{n-9}\right)^{n-1}}_{e^9} = \boxed{0}

for a field trip, a bus company charges a flat fee plus an additional fee per student. For 40 students, the total cost is $250.0
swat32
Okay so 6.25 a student then it goes to 4.50 for 15 more students at 70 students its 358.75 now it drops another 1.75 so it would be 368.75 for 80 students so the equation is 4.48 x 80 = 368.75. enjoy :D
