First we need to determine the type of progression in the question.
That's geometric progression. Because the pattern from one sequence to the others are about multiplying.

Second, determine the ratio of the progression
r = a₂/a₁
r = a₂ ÷ a₁
r = 1/2 ÷ 2
r = 1/2 × 1/2
r = 1/4

Third, determine the formula to know the recursive rule
a₂ = a × 1/4
a₂ = 1/4 × a
$a_{n} = \frac{1}{4} a_{(n-1)}$

Fourth, determine a₁. a₁ is the first term of the progression
a₁ = 2

Final answer:
Recursive rule
$a_{n} = \frac{1}{4} a_{(n-1)}$
a₁ = 2

The probability distribution for a random variable x is given in the table X: -5,-3,-2,0,2,3 Probability: .17,.13,.33,.16,.11,.1

Answer:

0.6 probability that $-2 \leq x \leq 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution is given in the table.

Probability that x is between -2 and 2.

Between -2 and 2, inclusive, we have -2, 0 and 2. So

$P(-2 \leq x \leq 2) = P(X = -2) + P(X = 0) + P(X = 2)$

From the table:

$P(X = -2) = 0.33, P(X = 0) = 0.16, P(X = 2) = 0.11$ . So

$P(-2 \leq x \leq 2) = P(X = -2) + P(X = 0) + P(X = 2) = 0.33 + 0.16 + 0.11 = 0.60$

0.6 probability that $-2 \leq x \leq 2$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's rearrange the given equation into something more recognizable. If we add 13 to both sides, we now have the polynomial $x^{2}-10x+13$ . We can now use the quadratic formula to solve.
