Answer:

The gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy or the fallacy of the maturity of chances, is the erroneous belief that if a particular event occurs more frequently than normal during the past it is less likely to happen in the future (or vice versa), when it has otherwise been established that the probability of such events does not depend on what has happened in the past. Such events, having the quality of historical independence, are referred to as statistically independent. The fallacy is commonly associated with gambling, where it may be believed, for example, that the next dice roll is more than usually likely to be six because there have recently been fewer than the usual number of sixes.

The term "Monte Carlo fallacy" originates from the best known example of the phenomenon, which occurred in the Monte Carlo Casino in 1913.[1]

How many flowers, spaced every 6 inches, are needed to surround a circular garden with a 10 foot radius?
Stolb23 [73]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must calculate the perimeter of the circle:

The radius of the circle in inches is:

radius=\frac{(10ft)(12in)}{1ft}=120in

P=2\pi(radius)\\  P=2\pi(120in)\\ P=753.98in

2. Now, you must divide the perimeter by the space between each flower to find the number of flowers needed, which you can call x:

x=\frac{753.98in}{6in}=125.6=126

The answer is: 126 flowers.

Find the sum of the first 8 terms of the following sequence. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary
AlexFokin [52]

The sum of the first 8 terms is 2.51 to the nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

In the geometric sequence there is a constant ratio between each two consecutive terms

The formula of the sum of n terms of a geometric sequence is:

S_{n}=\frac{a(1-r^{n})}{1-r} , where

  • a is the first term
  • r is the constant ratio between the consecutive terms

∵ The sequence is 6 , -5 , 25/6 , .............

∵ -5 ÷ 6 = \frac{-5}{6}

∵ \frac{25}{6} ÷ -5 = \frac{-5}{6}

- There is a constant ratio between the consecutive terms

∴ The sequence is a geometric sequence

∵ The first term is 6

∴ a = 6

∵ The constant ratio is \frac{-5}{6}

∴ r =  \frac{-5}{6}

∵ We need to find the sum of 8 terms

∴ n = 8

- Substitute the values of a, r and n in the rule above

∴ S_{8}=\frac{6[1-(\frac{-5}{6})^{8}]}{1-(\frac{-5}{6})}

∴ S_{8}=2.511595508

- Round it to the nearest hundredth

∴ S_{8}=2.51

The sum of the first 8 terms is 2.51 to the nearest hundredth
