8. rajis annual salary ranges from $25 325 in the 1st year to $34 445 in the 7th year. The salaries in this range form an arithmetic sequence? a) Determine the raise the person can expect each year. b) What is the total amount the person will earn in the 7 years?

a) $1520

b) $209195

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of salaries forms an arithmetic sequence with the first term as 25325 and its 7th term as 34445:

a) The raise the person can get each year is the common difference of the progression, d.

The nth term of an arithmetic progression is given generally as:

where a = first term = 25325

d = common difference

Therefore, the 7th term (34445) will be:

34445 = 25325 + (7 - 1)d

34445 = 25325 + 6d

=> 6d = 34445 - 25325 = 9120

d = 9120 / 6 = $1520

Therefore, the raise the person gets each year (common difference) is $1520.

b) The total amount the person will earn after 7 years is the sum of the salaries of all 7 yeas.

The sum of an arithmetic progression up to the nth term is given as:

Therefore, the sum of the person's salary for the 7 years is:

$209195

That is the total amount of salary after 7 years

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.
