A fair spinner has 12 equal sections: 5 red 4 blue and 3 green. its Spun twice what is the probability of getting the same colour twice?​

25/72

Step-by-step explanation:

P( blue) = blue / total = 4/12 = 1/3

P ( blue, blue) = 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

P ( red) = red / total = 5/12

P ( red, red) = 5/12 * 5/12 = 25/144

P ( green) = green /total = 3/12 =1/4

P ( green , green) = 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16

Add these together to get

P( same colour twice) = 1/9+ 25/144 + 1/16

                                      =16/144 + 25/144 + 9/144

                                      =50/144

                                     =25/72

109 is the nearest whole number/final answer! : )

geometric series converge the common ratio r has magnitude less than one.

which is equivalent to

for the example we need

|2-x| < 1

-1 < 2-x   and 2-x < 1

x < 3 and x > 1

we can write that

answer: 1 < x < 3

1a. common ratio r=250/25=10 > 1     diverges

1b.   r=50/100=1/2 converges

when these converge they converge to

where a is the first term.

answer: 200

1c. r=-1   so it's not the case that |r| < 1.     diverges

2a. x is the common ratio so we converge when |x|< 1

2b.   r=-10x / -2 = 5x.

we converge when

|5x| < 1

|x| < 1/5

2c.   r=3-2x

-1 < 3-2x and 3-2x < 1

-4 < -2x and 2 < 2x

x < 2 and 1 < x

1 < x < 2

2d. [/tex] r=-48x^3/12 = 4x^3[/tex]

|4x^3| < 1

|x^3| < \frac 1 4

|x| < 4^{-1/3}
