Answer:

5029

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms, that is

d = - 201 - (- 215) = - 187 - (- 201) = - 173 - (- 187) = 14

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with sum to n term

= [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = - 215 and d = 14 , then

= [ (2 × - 215) + (46 × 14) ]

= 23.5 (- 430 + 644)

= 23.5 × 214

= 5029

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

new length=15+x

width=19+x

then area=(15+x)×(19+x)=285+15x+19x+x²=x²+34x+285 ft²

original area=15×19=285 ft²

then 285+98=x²+34x+285

x²+34x-98=0

x²+34x+17²=98+17²

(x+17)²=98+289=387

x+17=√387=3√43

x=3√43-17 ft

student randomly receive 1 of 4 versions(A, B, C, D) of a math test. What is the probability that at least 3 of the 5 student te

alexdok [17]

Answer:

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the students receive different versions of the math namely A, B, C and D.

So, the probability that a student receives version A = $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Thus, the probability that the student does not receive version A = $1-\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ .

So, the possibilities that at-least 3 out of 5 students receive version A are,

1) 3 receives version A and 2 does not receive version A

2) 4 receives version A and 1 does not receive version A

3) All 5 students receive version A

Then the probability that at-least 3 out of 5 students receive version A is given by,

$\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}$
