Given:

The first two terms in an arithmetic progression are -2 and 5.

The last term in the progression is the only number in the progression that is greater than 200.

To find:

The sum of all the terms in the progression.

Solution:

We have,

First term : a=-2

Common difference : d = 5 - (-2)

                                      = 5 + 2

                                      = 7

nth term of an A.P. is

a_n=a+(n-1)d

where, a is first term and d is common difference.

a_n=-2+(n-1)(7)

According to the equation, a_n>200.

-2+(n-1)(7)>200

(n-1)(7)>200+2

(n-1)(7)>202

Divide both sides by 7.

(n-1)>28.857

Add 1 on both sides.

n>29.857

So, least possible integer value is 30. It means, A.P. has 30 term.

Sum of n terms of an A.P. is

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Substituting n=30, a=-2 and d=7, we get

S_{30}=\dfrac{30}{2}[2(-2)+(30-1)7]

S_{30}=15[-4+(29)7]

S_{30}=15[-4+203]

S_{30}=15(199)

S_{30}=2985

Therefore, the sum of all the terms in the progression is 2985.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

{3}^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

3^{ - 6}  \times (3^4  \div  3^0)^2

\frac{1}{  {3}^{6} }  \times ( {3}^{4}  \div  {3}^{0}  {)}^{2}

\frac{1}{729}  \times ( {3}^{4}  \div  {3}^{0}  {)}^{2}

\frac{1}{729}  \times ( {3}^{4}  {)}^{2}

\frac{1}{729}  \times 6561

\frac{1}{729}  \times (729(9))

9

A college basketball coach has 12 players on his team. eight players are receiving scholarships, and four are not. the coach dec
EleoNora [17]

Solution: The given problem is a binomial distribution.

The probability that a team member receives a scholarship is \frac{8}{12} = 0.67

Therefore, the given problem follows binomial with n = 5 and p = 0.6667

Now the probability that 4 of 5 players selected are on scholarship is:

P(x=4) = \binom{5}{4} \times 0.6667^{4} (1-0.6667)^{5-4}

                  =5 \times 0.1976 \times 0.3333

                  =0.329

Therefore, the probability that 4 of 5 players selected are on scholarship is 0.329
