The pizza parlor is running a special on 3-toppings pizzas. the topping choices include pepperoni, sausage, bacon mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and black olives. the next customer who orders 3-topping pizza tells the chef to randomly choose 3 different toppings for their pizza. what is the probability that customer will get a pizza topped with pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers? the teacher told us the solution is 1/35 but he wants an explanation of why is that solution correct.

Well there are 6 toppings. For one person to select sausage, it is  \frac{1}{6} . For two people, multiply them together and the probability is  \frac{1}{36}

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
