We are to find the Probability the someone buys a book that is paperback and fiction.
Let P(F) represents the event that the book is fiction and P(P) represents the event that the book is paperback. We are to find P(F∩P)
P(F∩P) = P(F) x P(P)
From the tree diagram we can see that:
P(F) = 0.45
P(P) = 0.65
Using the values, we get:
P(F∩P) = 0.45 x 0.65 = 0.2925
So, the Probability the someone buys a book that is paperback and fiction is 0.2925.
So, option B gives the correct answer
That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.
If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a
Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b
Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab
The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.
1/3 + 5/6 + 5/12

Answer:
The series is convergent answer ⇒ (a)
Step-by-step explanation:
* The series is -8/5 + 32/25 + -128/125 + ........
- It is a geometric series with:
- first term a = -8/5 and common ratio r = 32/25 ÷ -8/5 = -4/5
* The difference between the convergent and divergent
in the geometric series is :
- If the geometric series is given by sum = a + a r + a r² + a r³ + ...
* Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio
* If |r| < 1 then the following geometric series converges to a / (1 - r).
- Where a/1 - r is the sum to infinity
* The proof is:
∵ S = a(1 - r^n)/(1 - r) ⇒ when IrI < 1 and n very large number
∴ r^n approach to zero
∴ S = a(1 - 0)/(1 - r) = a/(1 - r)
∴ S∞ = a/1 - r
* If |r| ≥ 1 then the above geometric series diverges
∵ r = -4/5
∴ IrI = 4/5
∴ IrI < 1
∴ The series is convergent
