The recursive formula would be:
a_1=10
\\a_{n}=a_{n-1} \times (-8)

This is because the first term, a₁, is 10.  A recursive rule is dependent upon the term before it (a(n-1)) and the common ratio.  The common ratio, or the number that each term is multiplied by, is -8.

Answer:

The value is:

a(1)=10   and   a(n)=(-8)×a(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a sequence as:

10, -80 , 640 , -5120 ,.........

since by looking at the sequence we could see that it is a geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio -8.

Also a(1) denotes the first term of the sequence and a(n) denotes the nth term of the sequence.

a(1)=10

Also a(n)=(-8)×a(n-1)

since a(1)=10

a(2)=(-8)×10=-80

a(3)=(-8)×(-80)=640

a(4)=(-8)×640=-5120

and so on.

Hence the answer is:

a(1)=10   and   a(n)=(-8)×a(n-1)

Suppose I have an urn with 9 balls: 4 green, 3 yellow and 2 white ones. I draw a ball from the urn repeatedly with replacement.
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

E(X_n)=\frac{2(n-1)}{27}

E(y)=\frac{14}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample size n=9

Number of Green g=4

Number of yellow y=4

Number of white w=4

Probability of Green Followed by yellow P(GY) ball

 P(GY)=\frac{4}{9}*\frac{3}{9}

 P(GY)=\frac{4}{27}

Generally the equations for when n is even is mathematically given by

 Probability of success P(S)=\frac{4}{27}

 Probability of Failure P(F)=\frac{27-4}{27}

 Probability of Failure P(F)=\frac{23}{27}

Therefore

 E(X_n)=\frac{n}{2}*P

 E(X_n)=\frac{n}{2}*\frac{4}{27}

 E(X_n)=\frac{2n}{27}

Generally the equations for when n is odd is mathematically given by

 \frac{n-1}{2}

 E(X_n)=\frac{n-1}{2}*\frac{4}{27}

 E(X_n)=\frac{2(n-1)}{27}

b)

Probability of drawing white ball

 P(w)=\frac{2}{9}

Therefore

 E(w)=\frac{1}{p}

 E(w)=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{9}}

 E(w)=\frac{9}{2}

Therefore

 E(y)=[E(w)-1]\frac{4}{9}

 E(y)=[\frac{9}{2}-1]\frac{4}{9}

 E(y)=\frac{14}{9}

What is the probability of rolling a number less than 4 on a number cube labeled 1 through 6?
Leya [2.2K]
No matter the number of times you rolled the dice, the probability of getting a number is always 1/6. But here we can choose 4 numbers ( 1 to 4) hence the probability P( 1 or 2 or 3 or 4) = 4/6 2/3  = 0.6667 = 66.67% (A)
