Answer:

2 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula :

an= 2(-1.2)^n

At n = 1

a(1) = 2(-1.2)^1 = 2(-1.2) = - 2.4

At n = 2

a(2) = 2(-1.2)^2 = 2(-1.2)^2 ; 2 * 1.44 = 2.88

At n = 3

a(3) = 2(-1.2)^3 = 2(−1.728) ; 2 * - 1.728 = - 3.456

Number of negative numbers from first three term = 2

P(choosing a negative term) =

Number of negative numbers from first three term / total number of terms

= 2/3

Olivia flips a two-sided counter and then spins a spinner with six equal-size sections labeled 1 through 6. One side of the coun
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2 - sided counter ; (red, yellow)

A spinner (1,2,3,4,5,6)

Number of trials = 80

P(red and number > 3) :

P(red) = 1/2 ;

P(number >3) : numbers greater Than 3 = (4, 5, 6)

Hence, P(number <3) = 3 /6 = 1/2

Theoretical probability = 1/2 *1/2 = 1/4

Expected number of outcomes :

1/4 * number of trials

1/4 * 80 = 20

Experimental outcome :

Relative frequency = number of outcomes / number of trials

Relative frequency = 2/5

Hence,

2/5 = number of outcomes / 80

Cross multiply :

160 = number of outcomes * 5

Number of outcomes = 160 /5 = 32

Actual outcomes = 32

Difference between actual and expected :

32 - 20 = 12
