The given scenario falls under the category of conditional probability. There are a total of 56 people in the fishing group described above. The probability that the a person caught a fish and fished from a boat is 24/56. The probability that he fished from a boat is (24+11)/56. For the conditional probability in this item is,
P = (24/56) / ((24+11)/56) = 24/35 = 0.69
The first three terms of sequence are 9 , 6 , 3
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given the recursive function f(n) = f(n - 1) - 3
Where f(1) = 9
To find: First three terms of sequence
Substitute n = 2 , n = 3 and n = 4 in given recursive function
When n = 2
f(n) = f(n - 1) - 3
f(2) = f(2 - 1) - 3
f(2) = f(1) - 3
f(2) = 9 - 3 = 6
f(2) = 6
Thus second term is 6
When n = 3
f(3) = f( 3 - 1) - 3
f(3) = f(2) - 3
f(3) = 6 - 3 = 3
f(3) = 3
Thus the third term is 3
When n = 4
f(4) = f( 4 - 1) - 3
f(4) = f(3) - 3
f(4) = 3 - 3
f(4) = 0
Thus the fourth term is 0
Thus first three terms of sequence are 9 , 6 , 3
I believe that 40 ounces of meat would be 2.5 pounds of meat.
So the recipe would call for 2.5 pounds of meat.
hope this helps!
I think the answer is d I could be wrong
