<h3>
Answer: 0.432</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
There are 8+11 = 19 movies that are either horror or mystery.
This is out of 9+12+8+11+4 = 44 movies total.
Divide the two sums to get 19/44 = 0.43181818181818 approximately.
This rounds to 0.432
There's roughly a 43.2% chance of picking a horror or mystery movie.
Part A
Answer: The common ratio is -2
-----------------------------------
Explanation:
To get the common ratio r, we divide any term by the previous one
One example:
r = common ratio
r = (second term)/(first term)
r = (-2)/(1)
r = -2
Another example:
r = common ratio
r = (third term)/(second term)
r = (4)/(-2)
r = -2
and we get the same common ratio every time
Side Note: each term is multiplied by -2 to get the next term
============================================================
Part B
Answer:
The rule for the sequence is
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
where n starts at n = 1
-----------------------------------
Explanation:
Recall that any geometric sequence has the nth term
a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)
where the 'a' on the right side is the first term and r is the common ratio
The first term given to use is a = 1 and the common ratio found in part A above was r = -2
So,
a(n) = a*(r)^(n-1)
a(n) = 1*(-2)^(n-1)
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
============================================================
Part C
Answer: The next three terms are 16, -32, 64
-----------------------------------
Explanation:
We can simply multiply each previous term by -2 to get the next term. Do this three times to generate the next three terms
-8*(-2) = 16
16*(-2) = -32
-32*(-2) = 64
showing that the next three terms are 16, -32, and 64
An alternative is to use the formula found in part B
Plug in n = 5 to find the fifth term
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
a(5) = (-2)^(5-1)
a(5) = (-2)^(4)
a(5) = 16 .... which matches with what we got earlier
Then plug in n = 6
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
a(6) = (-2)^(6-1)
a(6) = (-2)^(5)
a(6) = -32 .... which matches with what we got earlier
Then plug in n = 7
a(n) = (-2)^(n-1)
a(7) = (-2)^(7-1)
a(7) = (-2)^(6)
a(7) = 64 .... which matches with what we got earlier
while the second method takes a bit more work, its handy for when you want to find terms beyond the given sequence (eg: the 28th term)
Answer:
The probability that at least one of the children get the disease from their mother is 0.7125.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a human gene carries a certain disease from the mother to the child with a probability rate of 34%.
Suppose a female carrier of the gene has three children. Assume that the infections of the three children are independent of one another.
Let Probability that children get the disease from their mother = P(A) = 0.34
SO, Complement of the event "At least one of the children get the disease from their mother"= P(A') = 1 - P(A)
where A' = event that children do not get the disease from mother.
So, P(A') = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.34 = 0.66
Now, probability that at least one of the children get the disease from their mother = 1 - Probability that none of the three children get disease from their mother
= 1 - P(X = 0)
= 1 - (0.66 
0.66 0.66)
= 1 - 0.2875 = <u>0.7125</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
z-score of X = 6150
z-score of X = 6350
P(X<6150) + P(X>6350)
=P(z<-0.4) + P(z>-0.4)
=0.3446+0.3446
=0.6892
Answer:
26.6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the figures are similar
linear ratio = a : b
area ratio = a² : b²
here
area ratio = 16 : 25, then
linear ratio = 4 : 5 ( square root of both area ratio parts )
let the perimeter of the larger figure be x, then by proportion
= 
( cross- multiply )
4x = 106.5 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x ≈ 26.6
Hence perimeter of larger figure is approximately 26.6 m
