Step-by-step explanation:

∑⁴ₙ₌₁ -144 (½)ⁿ⁻¹

This is a finite geometric series with n = 4, a₁ = -144, and r = ½.

S = a₁ (1 − rⁿ) / (1 − r)

S = -144 (1 − (½)⁴) / (1 − ½)

S = -270

If you wanted to find the infinite sum (n = ∞):

S = a₁ / (1 − r)

S = -144 / (1 − ½)

S = -288

Find the value of x RT=4x+10 SW= 5x-20
Liula [17]
Well, as you can see from the rectangle RT and SW should have equal lengths. So to find the value of x, we need to do.....

4x + 10 = 5x - 20
-x + 10 = -20              (Subtraction property of equality)
-x = -30                      (Subtraction property of equality)
x = 30                        (Division property of equality)

To check our work:

4(30)+10 = 130
5(30)-20 = 130

So, the value of x is 30!

A surveyor, Toby, measures the distance between two landmarks and the point where he stands. He also measured the angles between
Tju [1.3M]

The Set Up:

x² = (Side1)² + (Side2)² - 2[(Side1)(Side2)]

Solution:

cos(Toby's Angle) • x² = 55² + 65² - 2[(55)(65)] cos(110°)

x² = 3025 + 4225 -7150[cos(110°)]

x² = 7250 - 2445.44x =

√4804.56x = 69.31m

The distance, x, between two landmarks is 69.31m.

Note: The answer choices given are incorrect.

Annual income of A is 10% more than of B whereas income of B is 20% more than that of C. If monthly income of C is $ 2000 then w
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

7040

Step-by-step explanation:

C= 2000

B = 20/100 x 2000 = 400 + 2000 = 2400

A= 10/100 x 2400 = 240+2400= 2640

2000 + 2400 + 2640 = 7040

Eric throws a biased coin 10 times. He gets 3 tails. Sue throw the same coin 50 times. She gets 20 tails. Aadi is going to throw
NISA [10]

Answer:

(1) Correct option (A).

(2) The probability that Aadi will get Tails is 0.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided is:

  • Eric throws a biased coin 10 times. He gets 3 tails.
  • Sue throw the same coin 50 times. She gets 20 tails.

The probability of tail in both cases is:

P(T|E)=\frac{3}{10}=0.30

P(T|S)=\frac{20}{50}=0.40

Here,

P (T|E) implies the probability of tail in case of Eric's experiment.

P (T|S) implies the probability of tail in case of Sue's experiment.

(1)

Now, it is given that Aadi is going to throw the coin once.

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes n > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

In this case we need to compute the probability of Aadi getting Tails in a single toss.

As Sue uses a larger number of trials in the experiment, i.e. n = 50 > 30 times, according to the Central limit theorem, Sue's estimate is best because she throws it .

Thus, the correct option is (A).

(2)

As explained in the first part that Sue's estimate is best for getting a tail, the probability that Aadi will get Tails when he tosses the coin once is:

P(\text{Aadi will get Tails})=P(T|A)

                                   =P(T|S)\\\\=0.40

Thus, the probability that Aadi will get Tails is 0.40.
