Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

c-----> the number of cola bottles that Dan picks

s ----> the number of smarties that Dan picks

m ---> the number of marshmallows that Dan picks

we know that

c=3s ----> equation A

m=2s ---> equation B

we know that

To find out the proportion of the bag of sweets that are smarties, divide the number of smarties by the total of sweets

The total of sweets is equal to

(c+s+m)

substitute equation A and equation B in the total of sweets

(3s+s+2s) =6s

Find the proportion

s/6s

Simplify

1/6

What is the multiplicative rate of change of the exponential function represented in the table? 1.5 2.25 3.0 4.5
Sati [7]
Use the geometric sequence formula to solve for rate:
an=a1r^(n-1)

6.75=4.5r^(2-1)
6.75=4.5r
6.75/4.5=r
r= 1.5
and if you want to make sure just multiply each number by 1.5 and see if it gets you the next number
4.5 4.5×1.5=6.75 (holds true)
6.75 6.75×1.5=10.125 (holds true)
10.125 10.125×1.5=15.1875 (holds true)
15.1875

1.5 is the multiplicatice rate hope that helps :)

The problem relates to filling 8 vacant positions by either 0 or 1

each position can be filled by 2 ways so no of permutation

= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2

= 256

b )

Probability of opening of lock in first arbitrary attempt

= 1 / 256

c ) If first fails , there are remaining 255 permutations , so

probability of opening the lock in second arbitrary attempt

= 1 / 255 .
