Okay, I know what dependent events and independent events are, but where do we add and where do we multiply.

There is only one conclusion. There is no general hard-and-fast rule for probability. Sometimes you have to add, sometimes multiply, sometimes 1-(). It depends on the Question. And there is no explanation to why. So, basically, it's all screwed.


Addition is where there in no "Second Chance" lik pick up a coloured ball keep it back and pick another ball

Multiplication is where there is "more than one change" pick up a ball note colour pick up another ball (without replacing) note .. here the numerator and denominator of the second chance will decrease by one as u hav one ball in hand

Subraction is basically a "shortcut"  .. like 1-1/10 or something .. solve maj/june 2009 paper 4 prob. ques it has subtraction P.S there is always an alternative method to a subtraction   dont understand .. solve jun 2009

suppose a sequence is
4, 12, 24, 40...........

how do u find the nth term?

u would use this method
a+(n-1)d+0.5(n-1)(n-2)c
4+(n-1)4+0.5(n-1)(n-2)4

and good l  luck simplifying :)

in d1 and 2
u nned the graph

u look at the points that are the least (4,4)
and the highest (6,6)
but first you have to make sure if it really is the highest and lowest
or u can solve it algebraically



VIN yes i think they are answered

number 'n' , common diff. 'd' , first term 'a' and difference change 'c'is:


a+d(n-1)+c/2(n-1)(n-2)

try this wat was the sequence By the way ??
