Answer:

0.1090908

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

R = red blocks

Y = yellow blocks

G = green. blocks

n(R) = 6 ; n(Y) = 2 ; n(G) = 4

Total blocks = 6 + 2 + 4 = 12

Probability that all blocks are of same color :

P(RRR) or P(YYY) or P(GGG)

P(RRR) = 6/12 * 5/11 * 4/10 = 0.0909090

P(YYY) = 2/12 * 1/11 * 0/10 = 0

P(GGG) = 4/12 * 3/11 * 2/10 = 0.0181818

Hence,

0.0909090 + 0 + 0.0181818

= 0.1090908

For this case we first define the variable:
 x = number of terms.
 The equation that models the problem is:
 f (x) = 3.4 - 0.6x
 We have then that the first four terms are:
 x = 1
 f (1) = 3.4 - 0.6 (1) = 3.4 - 0.6 = 2.8
 x = 2
 f (2) = 3.4 - 0.6 (2) = 3.4 - 1.2 = 2.2
 x = 3
 f (3) = 3.4 - 0.6 (3) = 3.4 - 1.8 = 1.6
 x = 4
 f (4) = 3.4 - 0.6 (4) = 3.4 - 2.4 = 1
 Answer:
 
The rule for the sequence is:
 
f (x) = 3.4 - 0.6x

The diagonals of rectangle nopq intersect at point r. if qr=3x-4 and np=5x+20, solve for x.
FrozenT [24]
2(3x - 4) = 5x + 20
6x - 8 = 5x + 20
subtract 5x from both sides
x - 8 = 20
add 8 to both sides
x = 28

If five times a number is plus two is 17 what is the number
butalik [34]
3 if 5 times a number plus two is 17, then we can say 5x+2=17 if we subtract two on each side we have 5x=15, divide each side by 5 and you get x=3 so your answer is 3
