Answer: 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

You have 3 possible options. The probablility of the spinner landing on 3 is 1/3. The probability of it landing on 2 is also 1/3. For them to happen together, you multiply them. 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9.

Find S^20 if the series 1 + 1.1 ..... is a (a) arithmetic (b) geometric

quester [9]

I'm guessing S^20 is actually referring to the 20th partial sum $S_{20}$ , with

$S_{20}=1+(1+1\times0.1)+(1+2\times0.1)+\cdots+(1+18\times0.1)+(1+19\times0.1)$

in the arithmetic case, and

$S_{20}=1+1.1+1.1^2+\cdots+1.1^{18}+1.1^{19}$

in the geometric case.

(a) Combining like terms, we have

$S_{20}=20+0.1(1+2+\cdots+18+19)$

and invoking the formula

$1+2+\cdots+(n-1)+n=\dfrac{n(n+1)}2$

we end up with

$S_{20}=20+0.1\dfrac{19\times20}2=39$

(b) Multiply $S_{20}$ by 1.1, then subtract this from $S_{20}$ :

$1.1S_{20}=1.1+1.1^2+1.1^3+\cdots+1.1^{19}+1.1^{20}$

$S_{20}-1.1S_{20}=-0.1S_{20}=1-1.1^{20}$
$\implies S_{20}=\dfrac{1.1^{20}-1}{0.1}\approx57.275$

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 15

nevsk [136]

Answer: For the sum of 130

First: $90

Second: $40

Step-by-step explanation:

We write equations for each part of this situation.

The Total Charge

Together they charged 1550. This means 1550 is made up of the first mechanics rate for 15 hours and the second's rate for 5 hours. Lets call the first's rate a, so he charges 15a. The second's let's call b. He charges 5b. We add them together 15a+5b=1550.

The Sum of the Rates

Since the first's rate is a and the second is b, we can write a+b=130 since their sum is 130.

We solve for a and b by substituting one equation into another. Solve for the variable. Then substitute the value into the equation to find the other variable.

For a+b=130, rearrange to b=130-a and substitute into 15a+5b=1550.

15a + 5 (130-a)=1550

15a+650-5a=1550

10a+650-650=1550-650

10a=900

a=$90 was charged by the first mechanic.

We substitute to find the second mechanic's rate.

90+b=130

90-90+b=130-90

b= $40 was charged by the second mechanic

Have the conditions for inference been met?

alekssr [168]

Answer: the answer is A

Step-by-step explanation: because the original question does not state that the swimmer “randomly selected” the members. It only says the swimmer “selects” 10 members. Therefore, it is A (The sample is not random)

youre welcome
