Homework, Page 728 9. Alrik’s gerbil cage has four compartments, A, B, C, and D. After careful observation, he estimates the proportion of time spent in each compartment and constructs the following table. (a) Is this a valid probability function? Explain. No, this is not a valid probability function because the proportions total more than 1. (b) Is there a problem with Alrik’s reasoning? Explain. The table has the gerbil spending 110% of its time in the compartments. This cannot be, as it only has 100% of the time to apportion to the various compartments.

Homework, Page 728 29. If it rains tomorrow, the probability is 0.8 that John will practice his piano lesson. If it does not rain, there is only a 0.4 chance John will practice. Suppose the chance of rain tomorrow is 60%. What is the probability that John will practice tomorrow?
Homework, Page 728 33. Floppy Jalopy Rent-a-Car has 25 cars available for rental, 20 big bombs and five midsize cars. If two cars are selected at random, what is the probability that both are big bombs?
Homework, Page 728 37. Explain why the following statement cannot be true. The probabilities that a computer salesperson will sell zero, one, two, or three computers in any one day are 0.12, 0.45, 0.38, and 0.15, respectively. This statement cannot be true because the probabilities add to more than one.
Homework, Page 728 41. To complete the kinesiology requirement at Palpitation Tech, you must pass two classes chosen from aerobics, aquatics, defense arts, racket sports, recreational activities, rhythmic activities, soccer, gymnastics, and volleyball. If you decide to choose your two classes at random by drawing two class names from a box, what is the probability you will take racket sports and rhythmic activities?

9.4 Sequences
What you’ll learn about • Infinite Sequences • Limits of Infinite Sequences • Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences • Sequences and Graphing Calculators … and why Infinite sequences, especially those with finite limits, are involved in some key concepts of calculus.
Sequence • Sequence - an ordered progression of numbers • Finite sequence - a sequence with a finite number of entries • Infinite sequence - a sequence that continues without bound • Explicitly defined sequence - a sequence for which any entry may be written directly using the definition • Recursively defined sequence - a sequence defined in such a manner that one must know the prior entry before being able to write the next entry using the definition
Example Arithmetic Sequences Find (a) the common difference, (b) the tenth term, (c) a recursive rule for the nth term, and (d) an explicit rule for the nth term. -2, 1, 4, 7, …
Example Defining Geometric Sequences Find (a) the common ratio, (b) the tenth term, (c) a recursive rule for the nth term, and (d) an explicit rule for the nth term. 2, 6, 18,…
Sequences and Graphing Calculators • One way to graph an explicitly defined sequence is as a scatter plot of the points of the form (k,ak). • A second way is to use the sequence mode on a graphing calculator.
Example Graphing a Sequential Scatter Plot Use you calculator to generate the first 10 terms of the sequence explicitly defined by an = 3n - 5 in a scatter plot.
Example Calculating Sequence Values Use you calculator to generate the first 10 terms of the sequence recursively defined by a1 = 4, an = 3an-1 + 5 in a scatter plot. Lower case u in calculator entry is obtained by pressing 2nd and then 7.

9.5 Series
What you’ll learn about • Summation Notation • Sums of Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences • Infinite Series • Convergences of Geometric Series … and why Infinite series are at the heart of integral calculus.
Partial Sums Partial sums are the sums of a finite number of terms in an infinite sequence. In some instances, the partial sums approach a finite limit and the series is said to converge.
