For a geometric sequence;
a(n) = a1*r^(n-1)

Where
a(n) = nth term
a1 = first term
r = common ratio
n = 0,1,2,3,4,5, ... n

To establish which graphs agree with this formula, each graph should be tested separately as follows:
Graph A:
a2 = 9
Then
9 = a1*(1/3)^(2-1) =1/3a1 => a1 = 3*9 = 27
Sequence:
a1 = 27
a2 = 9
a3 = 27*(1/3)^(3-1) = 3
a4 = 27*(1/3)^(4-1) = 1
These are the same values shown and thus this graph corresponds to geometric sequence.

Graph B:
a1 = 12
a2 = 12*(1/3)^(2-1) = 4
a3 = 12*(1/3)(3-1) = 4/3
a4 = 12*(1/3)^(4-1) = 4/9
These are the values shown by the graph and thus it corresponds with geometric sequence.

Graph C:
a1 = 3+3/2 = 9/2
a2 = (9/2)*(1/3)^1 = 3/2
a3 = (9/2)*(1/3)^2 = 1/2
a4 = (9/2)*(1/3)^3 = 1/6
a0 = (9/2)*(1/3)^-1 = 13.5 (this is not the case as the graph shows a0 = 12)

Therefore, this graph does not correspond to geometric sequence.

Graph D:
a1 = 4
a2 = 4*(1/3)^1 = 4/3
a3 = 4*(1/3)^2 = 4/9
a4 = 4*(1/3)^3 = 4/27
a0 = 12

This graph seems to agree with values of geometric sequence and thus corresponds to geometric sequence.

Therefore, graphs A, B, and D corresponds with geometric sequence.

Your friend has a z-table, and you don't. You ask your friend to look up the area in a tail on the left hand side of the normal
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

  d. 0.4013

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of the area under the normal curve is found to the left of the midpoint, where z=0. For negative values of z, the area under the curve is less than half.

Area under a normal curve is always a positive value between 0 and 1, so will never be negative.

The only value that can be an area in a left-hand tail is 0.4013.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

That value corresponds to z ≈ -0.25.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

3?

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it is 3, because...

33 - 17 = 16

16 - 4 = 12

12/4 = 3

There are two spinners. Each spinner has 10 equal sectors labeled with the numbers 1 through 10.
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

There are 4 prime numbers from 1 to 10: 2, 3, 5, and 7. This means that there are 4 ways to choose the first outcome. There are 5 composite numbers from 1 to 10: 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10 (1 is just 1). So, you just multiply the two numbers together because each depends on each: 4 * 5 = 20 outcomes.

A bag contains tiles of different colors. Jackson randomly selects a tile from the bag and returns the tile to the bag after rec
quester [9]

Answer:

2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer choices to this question do not make sense since probability is a measure that is always <= 1.0

Based on the number of times a particular colored tile is drawn we can assume that at the minimum there are 6 green, 20 red, 7 blue, 8 purple and 4 black tiles

Total number of tiles = 6 + 20 + 7 + 8 + 4 = 45

Probability of drawing a green tile = 6/45 = 2/15
