Complete Question:

Yanay gets a lot of spam calls. An area code is defined to be a three digit number from 200-999 inclusive. In reality, many of these area codes are not in use, but for this question we'll simplify things and assume they all are.

Assuming each area code is just as likely as any other, what's the probability that the area code of two back to back spam calls are 804?

Answer:

1/6400 or 0.0000015625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area Codes = 200 to 999 (inclusive)

Required

Determine the probability that back to back calls have area code 804

[First, we need to calculate the totality of area codes]

Total Area Codes = 999 - 200 + 1

Total Area Codes = 800

The probability of each code is 1/800

So, the probability of having back to back code of 804 is:

Probability = 1/800 * 1/800

Probability = (1/800)²

Probability = 1/640000

Hence, the required probability is 1/640000 or 0.0000015625

Simplify to 2 x 7 because they are both being divided by 8, so they cancel each other out.

Find the 14th term of the geometric sequence 2, 6, 18,
butalik [34]

The geometric sequence is starting with 2 and multiplying by 3 every time. We can get the rule of this sequence by...

If 2 is a_0, 6 is a_1, 18 is a_2, etc.

a_n=2*3^n

For the 14th term, which is a_13, the value is 2*3^13.

Using a calculator because I'm too lazy to calculate 3^13 sorry, we can get.
