A box contains 30 striped or solid paper clips 8 are red 3 are green 5 are blue 7 are blue and red 3 are black and 4 are white one paper clip is chosen the paper clip is green

The correct answer is 0.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of striped or solid paper clips in a box is 30.

Number of green paper clips in the box is 3.

Other colors of paper clips are 8 of red; 5 are blue; 7 are blue and red; 3 are black and 4 are white.

We need to find the probability of picking a green clip from the box.

Probability of choosing a green paper clip is given by the fraction of favorable cases to total cases = = 0.1.

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be
