A population consists of 500 elements. We want to draw a simple random sample of 50 elements from this population. On the first selection, the probability of an element being selected is A. 0.100
B. 0.010
C, 0.001
D. 0.002

D. 0.002

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

total number of sample, N = 500 elements

50 elements are to be drawn from this sample.

The probability of the first selection, out of the 50 elements to be drawn will be = 1 / total number of sample

The probability of the first selection = 1 / 500

The probability of the first selection = 0.002

Therefore, on the first selection, the probability of an element being selected is 0.002

The correct option is "D. 0.002"

in 1995, potato plants were taken into space aboard the space shuttle columbia.

step-by-step explanation:

(a) common ratio in the given sequence is, 3

(b) push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week

step-by-step explanation:

geometric sequence is a sequence of numbers that follows a pattern were the next term is found by multiplying by a constant called the common ratio(r)

(a)

given the sequence: 6 , 18 , 54 , 162 ,

this sequence is geometric sequence where each term is 3 times the previous term.

therefore,

common ratio(r) = 3.

(b)

a formula for nth term of geometric sequence is given by;

,   where r is the common ratio between the successive terms and is the first term,

to find how many push ups will kendall do on the 20th week.

here. n = 20th term.

in the given sequence first term

then;

simplify:

therefore, push ups will do kendall do on the 20th week
