Answer: 1) 2, 3, 4, 9, 32, 279, 8896, 2481705, 22077238784

2) 2,490,924

3) Neither

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$S_n=S_{n-2}\cdot (S_{n-1}-1)\quad \\\\S_1=2\quad given\\S_2=3\quad given\\S_3=S_1(S_2-1)\quad =2(3-1)\quad =4\\S_4=S_2(S_3-1)\quad =3(4-1)\quad =9\\S_5=S_3(S_4-1)\quad =4(9-1)\quad =32\\S_6=S_4(S_5-1)\quad =9(32-1)\quad =279\\S_7=S_5(S_6-1)\quad =32(279-1)\quad =8,896\\S_8=S_6(S_7-1)\quad =279(8896-1)\quad =2,481,705\\S_9=S_7(S_8-1)\quad =8896(2481705-1)\quad =22,077,238,784$

$\sum^8_{k=1}S_k\\\\=S_1+S_2+S_3+S_4+S_5+S_6+S_7+S_8\\\\= 2,490,924\\$

Neither

Not arithmetic because the difference between each of the terms is not the same.

S₂ - S₁ S₃ - S₂ S₄ - S₃

3 - 2 = 1 4 - 3 = 1 9 - 4 = 5

Not geometric because the ratios between each of the terms is not the same.

$\dfrac{S_2}{S_1}=\dfrac{S_3}{S_2}\qquad \rightarrow \dfrac{3}{2}=\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad \rightarrow \text{cross multiply to get}: 9\neq 8$

Answer:

a) P=0.558

b) P=0.021

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this random variable as a Poisson distribution with parameter λ=1/500*2000=4.

The approximate distribution of the number who carry this gene in a sample of 2000 individuals is:

$P(x=k)=\frac{\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}}{k!} =\frac{4^ke^{-4}}{k!}$

a) We can calculate that the approximate probability that between 4 and 9 (inclusive) as:

$P(4\leq x\leq 9)=\sum_{k=4}^9P(k)\\\\\\ P(4)=4^{4} \cdot e^{-4}/4!=256*0.0183/24=0.195\\\\P(5)=4^{5} \cdot e^{-4}/5!=1024*0.0183/120=0.156\\\\P(6)=4^{6} \cdot e^{-4}/6!=4096*0.0183/720=0.104\\\\P(7)=4^{7} \cdot e^{-4}/7!=16384*0.0183/5040=0.06\\\\P(8)=4^{8} \cdot e^{-4}/8!=65536*0.0183/40320=0.03\\\\P(9)=4^{9} \cdot e^{-4}/9!=262144*0.0183/362880=0.013\\\\\\$

$P(4\leq x\leq 9)=\sum_{k=4}^9P(k)=0.195+0.156+0.104+0.060+0.030+0.013=0.558$

b) The approximate probability that at least 9 carry the gene is:

$P(x\geq9)=1-P(x\leq 8)\\\\\\$

$P(0)=4^{0} \cdot e^{-4}/0!=1*0.0183/1=0.018\\\\P(1)=4^{1} \cdot e^{-4}/1!=4*0.0183/1=0.073\\\\P(2)=4^{2} \cdot e^{-4}/2!=16*0.0183/2=0.147\\\\P(3)=4^{3} \cdot e^{-4}/3!=64*0.0183/6=0.195\\\\P(4)=4^{4} \cdot e^{-4}/4!=256*0.0183/24=0.195\\\\P(5)=4^{5} \cdot e^{-4}/5!=1024*0.0183/120=0.156\\\\P(6)=4^{6} \cdot e^{-4}/6!=4096*0.0183/720=0.104\\\\P(7)=4^{7} \cdot e^{-4}/7!=16384*0.0183/5040=0.06\\\\P(8)=4^{8} \cdot e^{-4}/8!=65536*0.0183/40320=0.03\\\\$
