In a certain arithmetic sequence, if -4 is the first term and 10 is the third term, which term is 157?

a₁₅₇ = 1,088

Step-by-step explanation:

aₙ = a₁ + d(n-1); where 'd' if common difference

a₁₅₇ = -4 + 7(156)

      = -4 + 1092

      = 1,088

157 is the 24th term

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arithmetic sequences is an=a1+(n-1)d,

where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term, n is the term position, and d is the common difference

First, we need to find the common difference using the 10.

Since it's the third term, we have 10=-4+(3-1)d

Solving for d gives us d=7

Next, we need to find the term number of 157

Thus, we have 157=-4+(n-1)*7

Solving for n gives us n=24

We can check it like this: Following order of operations (i.e. PEMDAS) gives us 24-1=23*7=161-4=157

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
