Answer:
a. it is arithmentic - this is because for each term there is a constant increase of 4, and the change between each term <u>doesn't change</u>
b. you need to find the nth term, by using the equation difference x n + 0th term: the difference is (+)4 and the 0th term is -9 (-5 is the 1st term, so to go one back we subtract 4 - the inverse operation), so the nth term is 4n -9. Now we do the inverse operation on 119 to see if it's a term (it is a term if it's an integer. So, first we do 119 <u>plus</u> 9 (inverse of - 9) to get 128, then divide it by 4 rather than multiplying. This gives us 32, and that tells us that 119 is the 32nd term of the sequence.
The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
Answer:

Answer:
0.0821
Step-by-step explanation:
If the arrival rate is 50 customers per hour (60 minutes), then the expected number of customers in 3 minutes is:
Assuming a Poisson distribution with 2.5 customers per 3 minutes, the probability that zero customers arrive for 3 minutes is:
The probability that the bank stays empty for three minutes is 0.0821.
Answer:
Area = 1250 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for area of the bottom of the pool is given by:
Area = length× breadth
= 50 × 25
= 1250 square feet
