Answer:

-\frac{17}{4} is 27th term of the given sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is 2\frac{1}{4},2,1\frac{3}{4},......

Here, first term of the sequence,

a_1=2\frac{1}{4}

By subtracting first term from the second term of the sequence,

T_2-T_1=2-2\frac{1}{4}

            = (2-2)-\frac{1}{4}

            = -\frac{1}{4}

Similarly, difference in second and third term,

1\frac{3}{4}-2=(1-2)+\frac{3}{4}

           = -1+\frac{3}{4}

           = \frac{3-4}{4}

           = -\frac{1}{4}

Therefore, there is a common difference (d) of (-\frac{1}{4}).

Hence, the sequence is an Arithmetic sequence.

Explicit formula of an Arithmetic sequence is given by,

T_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Here, n = number of term

If, T_n=-\frac{17}{4}

By substituting these values in the formula,

-\frac{17}{4}=2\frac{1}{4}+(n-1)(-\frac{1}{4})

-\frac{17}{4}-2\frac{1}{4}=(n-1)(-\frac{1}{4})

-\frac{17}{4}-\frac{9}{4}=-(n-1)(\frac{1}{4})

-(\frac{17+9}{4})=(n-1)(\frac{1}{4})

\frac{26}{4}=\frac{1}{4}(n-1)

n - 1 = 26

n = 27

Therefore, -\frac{17}{4} is 27th term of the given sequence.

A survey is taken among customers of a fast-food restaurant to determine preference for hamburger or chicken. Of 200 respondents
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

                          Hamburger       Chicken

Adults                    65                        60         125

children                 55                        20          75

                             120                        80         200

a)What is the probability that a randomly selected individual is an adult?

Total no. of adults = 125

Total no. of people  200

The probability that a randomly selected individual is an adult = \frac{125}{200}=0.625

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected individual is a child and prefers chicken?

No. of child prefers chicken = 20

The probability that a randomly selected individual is a child and prefers chicken= \frac{20}{200}=0.1

c)Given the person is a child, what is the probability that this child prefers a hamburger?

No. of children prefer hamburger = 55

No. of child = 75

The probability that this child prefers a hamburger= \frac{35}{75}=0.46

d) Assume we know that a person has ordered chicken, what is the probability that this individual is an adult?

No. of adults prefer chicken = 60

No. of total people like chicken = 80

A person has ordered chicken, the probability that this individual is an adult= \frac{60}{80}=0.75
