D)5/52
E)15
Which phrase describes the pattern?
1, 5, 13, 29, 61...
A)add 3
B)multiply by 2 and add 2
C)multiply by 2 and add 3
D)multiply by 3 and subtract 5
E)multiply by 3 and subtract 7
P(Brown ) = Number of Brown Candies / Total Number of Candies
Second one.....see if you can figure this one out .....
2nd. Answer: C) multiply by 2 and add 3
1*2+3 = 5
5*2+3 = 13
13*2+3 = 29
29*2+3 = 61
The solution is 2x + 3. To get the next term in the pattern, the term is multiplied by 2 and then 3 is added to the result.
5 = 2(1) + 3
13 = 2(5) + 3
29 = 2(13) + 3
61 = 2(29) + 3
and 1st. A
Since there are 15 brown candies out of 52 total, the probability is 15/52.
