<h3>Answer:</h3>
You can try the choices to see which one works. The differences between an values double each time. They have the sequence 1, 2, 4, 8. So, you know that choices A) and D) do not work. They show the difference to be constant at 1 or 8. Since the differences are multiplied by 2, C) is a reasonable choice. Trying that, we find it describes the sequence perfectly:
a2 = 2·2 -1 = 3
a3 = 2·3 -1 = 5
a4 = 2·5 -1 = 9
a5 = 2·9 -1 = 17
___
Trying choice B on the last term, we have
... a5 = 3·a4 -3 = 3·9 -3 = <em>24 ≠ 17</em>

You roll a 6-sided die. The probability of getting prime is 50%.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, that we have rolled a 6 – sided die.
We have to find the P(prime) as percentage.
Now, It means that we have to find the probability of getting a prime number on the face.
On rolling a six sided die, the total possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Number of possible outcomes = 6
We have to get a prime number on rolling a die
The prime numbers in possible outcomes are 2, 3, 5
So number of favorable outcomes = 3
Hence, probability of getting prime is 50%.
