Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequences can be written as

$a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d$

$29 = a_1 + (1-1)d\\29 = a_1\\9 = 29 + (2-1)d\\9 = 29 + d\\d = -20\\a_n = 29 -20 (n-1)\\a_n = 29 - 20n+20\\a_n = -20n + 49\\\\a_51 = -20(51) + 49 = -951$

Help please I don’t understand

88cm^2. area is the coverage of the area inside of a given shape, since some of the frame is cut off for a picture (making it not a full rectangle) you must find the area of the whole frame and find the area of the cutout. after finding those, subtract the cutout from the frame and then you have the area of the frame

A representative from the National Football League's Marketing Division randomly selects people on a random street in Kansas Cit

Orlov [11]

Using the binomial distribution, we have that:

a) 0.1024 = 10.24% probability that the marketing representative must select 4 people to find one who attended the last home football game.

b) 0.2621 = 26.21% probability that the marketing representative must select more than 6 people to find one who attended the last home football game.

c) The expected number of people is 4, with a variance of 20.

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they attended a game, or they did not. The probability of a person attending a game is independent of any other person, which means that the binomial distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

The expected number of <u>trials before q successes</u> is given by:

$E = \frac{q(1-p)}{p}$

The variance is:

$V = \frac{q(1-p)}{p^2}$

In this problem, 0.2 probability of a finding a person who attended the last football game, thus $p = 0.2$ .

Item a:

None of the first three attended, which is P(X = 0) when n = 3.
Fourth attended, with 0.2 probability.

Thus:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{3} = 0.512$

$0.2(0.512) = 0.1024$

0.1024 = 10.24% probability that the marketing representative must select 4 people to find one who attended the last home football game.

Item b:

This is the probability that none of the first six went, which is P(X = 0) when n = 6.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{6} = 0.2621$

0.2621 = 26.21% probability that the marketing representative must select more than 6 people to find one who attended the last home football game.

Item c:

One person, thus $q = 1$ .

The expected value is:

$E = \frac{q(1-p)}{p} = \frac{0.8}{0.2} = 4$

The variance is:

$V = \frac{0.8}{0.04} = 20$

The expected number of people is 4, with a variance of 20.
