-30b4 would be your answer.
Hope I helped!
For this case we have the following sequence:
0.8
3.2
12.8
51.2
This sequence can be written as:
0.8 = 0.2 * 4 = 0.2 * 4 ^ 1
3.2 = 0.2 * 16 = 0.2 * 4 ^ 2
12.8 = 0.2 * 64 = 0.2 * 4 ^ 3
51.2 = 0.2 * 256 = 0.2 * 4 ^ 4
Therefore, we have that the generic expression for this case is:
an = 0.2 * 4 ^ n
Then, the next number is then:
a5 = 0.2 * 4 ^ 5 = 0.2 * 1024 = 204.8
answer
the next number in the pattern is 204.8
He is wrong...
2 1/2 + 3 3/5 = 97/20
Simplified, I believe the answer is 4 17/20
Answer:
<em>Find the probability of success in a single trial and then think about the nature of the problem (when do we stop). </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Observe that in the single trial, we have (8 4) possibilities of choosing our set of balls. If we have chosen two white balls and two black balls, the probability of doing that is simply
p=(4 2)*(4 2)/(8 4)
This is well know Hyper geometric distribution. Now, define random variable X that marks the number of trials that have been needed to obtain the right combination (two white and two black balls). From the nature of the problem, observe that X has Geometric distribution with parameter p that has been calculated above. Hence
P(X = n) = (1— p)^n-1 *( p )
