Answer: -9n+20

This is the same as 20-9n

================================================

Explanation:

The jump from 11 to 2 is "minus 9"

The jump from 2 to -7 is also "minus 9".

Assuming this pattern continues on, we have an arithmetic sequence with

a = 11 = first term
d = -9 = common difference

The nth term can be found like so

$a_n = a + d(n-1)\\\\a_n = 11 + (-9)(n-1)\\\\a_n = 11 -9n + 9\\\\a_n = -9n+20\\\\$

Let's check the answer by trying n = 3

$a_n = -9n+20\\\\a_3 = -9*3+20\\\\a_3 = -27+20\\\\a_3 = -7\\\\$

This shows the third term is -7, which matches what the original sequence shows. The answer is partially confirmed. I'll let you check the other values of n. You should get 11 when trying n = 1, and you should get 2 when trying n = 2.

Aron flips a penny 9 times. Which expression represents the probability of getting exactly 3 heads?

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

$9C3*(0.5)^3(0.5)^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial probability formula shown has variables which represents:

n is the total number of trials (here, we flip penny 9 times, hence n = 9)

k is the number we want to find (here, we want the probability of 3 heads, so k = 3)

p is the probability of success (here, success means getting heads. So, in a coin flip the probability of heads is always 1/2, so p = 1/2)

<em>Putting all the info into the equation and using formula for nCk, we get:</em>

$P(k successes)=nCk*p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\P(3Heads)=9C3*(0.5)^3(1-0.5)^{9-3}\\P(3Heads)=9C3*(0.5)^3(0.5)^6$

The first expression shown in the answer choices is right.
