Shadow problems are usually solved with a proportion.
.. oak/(oak's shadow) = joey/(joey's shadow)
.. oak/(12 ft) = (6 ft)/(5 ft)
.. oak = (12 ft)*(6/5) = 14.4 ft . . . . . . . matches selection B

Find the 50th term of the sequence 5,-2,-9,-16 ,,,
Mademuasel [1]
Common difference is -2-5 = -7
first term is 5

a_50 = 5 -7(50-1) = -338

2) d = 3 - (-7) = 10
 a = -7

a_110 = -7 + 10(110 - 1) = 1083

d = -27 - (-22) = -5

second -7 - 5=  -12
third = -12 - 5 = -17

Ratling [72]

Answer:

a)

k = \dfrac{1}{21}

b) 0.476

c) 0.667    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Y = the number of forms required of the next applicant.

Y: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

The probability is given by:

P(y) = ky

a) Property of discrete probability distribution:

\displaystyle\sum P(y_i) = 1\\\\\Rightarrow k(1+2+3+4+5+6) = 1\\\\\Rightarrow k(21) = 1\\\\\Rightarrow k = \dfrac{1}{21}

b) at most four forms are required

P(y \leq 4) = \displaystyle\sum^{y=4}_{y=1}P(y_i)\\\\P(y \leq 4) = \dfrac{1}{21}(1+2+3+4) = \dfrac{10}{21} = 0.476

c) probability that between two and five forms (inclusive) are required

P(2\leq y \leq 5) = \displaystyle\sum^{y=5}_{y=2}P(y_i)\\\\P(2\leq y \leq 5) = \dfrac{1}{21}(2+3+4+5) = \dfrac{14}{21} = 0.667
