Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for computing the sum of an infinite geometric series is
where r is between -1 and 1 and
is the common ratio, and
is the first term of the series.
So let's plug in:
I multiplied bottom and top by 10.
I divided top and bottom by 3.
The sum is 1/3.
Answer:
0.0076 = 0.76% probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds
Step-by-step explanation:
The plants were chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:
In which:
x is the number of successes.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
In this question:
6 + 6 = 12 seeds, which means that
6 treated, which means that
Five sprouted, which means that
What is the probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds?
This is P(X = 5). So
0.0076 = 0.76% probability that all five plants emerged from treated seeds
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is
=
[ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]
where a₁ is the initial value and d the common difference
Given
=
[ 10 + (n - 1)3 ]
Then by comparison
2a₁ = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
a₁ = 4 ← initial value
and d = 3 ← common difference
Thus
=
[ 10 + (7 × 3) ]
= 4(10 + 21)
= 4 × 31
= 124
