The map shows the length (in miles) of shoreline along the Gulf of Mexica for each state that borders the body of water. What is
the probability that a ship coming ashore at a random point in the Gulf of Mexico lands in the given state? Round your answers to the nearest whole percent.

Answer:
TX: 0.23
LA: 0.24
MS: 0.03
AL: 0.03
FL: 0.47
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, the map is shown.
Total length of the shoreline: 367 + 397 + 44 + 53 + 770 = 1631 miles
probability of the ship landing in Texas: 367/1631 = 0.23
probability of the ship landing in Louisiana: 397/1631 = 0.24
probability of the ship landing in Mississippi: 44/1631 = 0.03
probability of the ship landing in Alabama: 53/1631 = 0.03
probability of the ship landing in Florida: 770/1631 = 0.47

Answer:
3, 5, 7, 9, 11, .........
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
= n(n + 2) , then
S₁ = 1(1 + 2) = 1(3) = 3 ⇒ a₁ = 3
S₂ = 2(2 + 2) = 2(4) = 8
S₃ = 3(3 + 2) = 3(5) = 15
Thus
a₂ = S₂ - S₁ = 8 - 3 = 5
a₃ = S₃ - S₂ = 15 - 8 = 7
The first 3 terms are 3, 5, 7
This is an AP with common difference d = 2, then
a₄ = a₃ + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
a₅ = a₄ + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11
and so on
