In a game of rock paper scissors, what are the chances that someone playing against a person playing only paper would win?

As for the answer, if you were to make a chart to show rock, paper, and scissors, you'd be able to see that there's a 2/3 chance of winning by choosing rock. With scissors, there's also a 2/3 chance to win. Now with paper, there's only a 1/3 chance to win. Knowing that the other person will only play paper, the best answers would be to choose either rock or scissors.

(there are, of course, flaws with this concept, because the opponent could be lying about playing only paper. More or less, it's a good design to show probability.)

The recursive rule for a sequence is an=an-1+7, where a1=15.What is the explict rule for this sequence

posledela

well, the recursive rule of aₙ = aₙ₊₁ + 7, where a₁ = 15, is simply saying that

we start of at 15, and the next term is obtained by simply adding 7, and so on.

well, that's the recursive rule.

so then let's use that common difference and first term for the explicit rule.

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence} \\\\ a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad \begin{cases} a_n=n^{th}\ term\\ n=\textit{term position}\\ a_1=\textit{first term}\\ d=\textit{common difference}\\ \cline{1-1} a_1=15\\ d=7 \end{cases} \\\\\\ a_n=15+(n-1)7\implies a_n=15+7n-7\implies a_n=7n+8$
