Answer:
0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 = 4/10
an = a1r^(n-1)
a5 = a1 r^(5-1)
-6 =a1 r^4
a2 = a1 r^(2-1)
-48 = a1 r
divide
-6 =a1 r^4
---------------- yields 1/8 = r^3 take the cube root or each side
-48 = a1 r 1/2 = r
an = a1r^(n-1)
an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)
-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1
divide by 1/2
-96 = a1
an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)
the sum
Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]
S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]
=-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]
= 192 * [-131071/131072]
approximately -192
The definition of two events being mutually
exclusive (or disjoint) only means that it is not possible for the two events to
occur together. Given two events, E and F, they are mutually
exclusive and also mean independent.
In this case, since events E and F are mutually
exclusive, therefore the probability that either E or F will occur will simply
be the sum of two events.
P (E or F) = P (E) + P (F)
P (E or F) = 0.25 + 0.51
P (E or F) = 0.76
Therefore this means that there is a 76% probability that
either E or F will occur.
