The sum of the terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio lesser than 1 is calculated through the equation,
Sn = (a1) x (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)
Substituting the known values,
S5 = (6) x (1 - (1/3)^5) / (1 - 1/3) = 242/27
Thus, the sum of the first five terms is approximately equal to 8.96.
Answer:
Her answer is wrong because she the object cannot hit the ground at negative seconds. She could’ve have used other methods because she used the quadratic formula. The advantages is that it works for every situation. The disadvantages is that it takes longer. She should’ve used a different method.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem 7
(45 pages)/(90 min) = 1/2 page per min, i.e. 1 page per 2 minutes
(60 pages)(120 min) = 1/2 page per min
Both lead to the same result, so yes they are proportional.
Their reading speed is identical.
<h3>Answer: True</h3>
Let
A = event that the student is on the honor roll
B = event that the student has a part-time job
C = event that the student is on the honor roll and has a part-time job
We are given
P(A) = 0.40
P(B) = 0.60
P(C) = 0.22
note: P(C) = P(A and B)
We want to find out P(A|B) which is "the probability of getting event A given that we know event B is true". This is a conditional probability
P(A|B) = [P(A and B)]/P(B)
P(A|B) = P(C)/P(B)
P(A|B) = 0.22/0.6
P(A|B) = 0.3667 which is approximate
Convert this to a percentage to get roughly 36.67% and this rounds to 37%
Final Answer: 37%
