Using proportions, it is found that there is a 0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of total amount.

In this problem, the proportions associated with owning a cat are given by:

  • 70% of 60%(also have a dog).
  • 30% of 40%(do not have a dog).

Hence:

p = 0.7(0.6) + 0.3(0.4) = 0.42 + 0.12 = 0.54.

0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected household owns a cat.

Find the 5th term in the sequence that is defined as follows:<br> Please help!!
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

155

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive formula and a₁ = 1, then

a₂ = 3a₁ + 2 = 3(1) + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

a₃ = 3a₂ + 2 = 3(5) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17

a₄ = 3a₃ + 2 = 3(17) + 2 = 51 + 2 = 53

a₅ = 3a₄ + 2 = 3(51) + 2 = 153 + 2 = 155

Thus the 5 th term is 155
