Answer: The 25th term of the sequence is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence depicts an arithmetic progression. The consecutive terms differ by a common difference. We will apply the formula for arithmetic progression.

Tn = a + (n-1)d

Tn = The value of the nth term of the arithmetic sequence.

a = first term of the sequence.

d = common difference (difference between a term and the consecutive term behind it)

n = number of terms in the sequence.

From the information given,

a = 3

d = 5-3 = 7-5 = 2

We want to look for the 25th term, T25

So n = 25

T25 = 3 + (25-1)2 = 3+ 24×2

T25 = 3 + 72 = 75

About 16 % of the population of a large country is allergic to pollen. If two people are randomly selected, what is the probabil

Answer:

(a) 0.0256

(b) 0.2944

Step-by-step explanation:

For solving this exercise we can apply the binomial distribution. The equation that give as the probability is:

$P(x,n,p)=(nCx)*p^{x} *(1-p)^{n-x}$

Where n is the number of identical events, p is the probability that the event has a success and x is the number of success in the n identical events.

Additionally, nCx is calculated as:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

So, in this case we have 2 identical events because we are going to select two people randomly and the probability p of success is the probability that the person is allergic to pollen and this probability is 16%.

Then, for the first case, x is 2 because their are asking for the probability that both are allergic to pollen. Replacing the values of x, n and p we get:

$P(2,2,0.16)=(2C2)*0.16^{2} *(1-0.16)^{2-2}$

P(2,2,0.16)=0.0256

For the second case, their are asking for the probability that at least one is allergic to pollen, that means that we need to sum the probability that both are allergic to pollen with the probability that just one is allergic to pollen.

Using the same equation to calculate P(1,2,0.16) we get:

$P(1,2,0.16)=(2C1)*0.16^{1} *(1-0.16)^{2-1}$
