Players A and B play a basketball game in which they take turns shooting the ball, and the first player to make their shot wins. Player A has probability 2/3 of making each of her shots. Player B has probability 1/2 of making each of his shots. If Player A shoots first, what is the probability that she will win

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Player A has a probability 2/3 of making each of her shots, then she has a probability 1/3 of missing each shot.

Player B has a probability 1/2 of making each of his shots, then he also has a probability 1/2 of missing each shot.

Let's separate each case.

Let's define:

P(x) = probability of winning at the "x" shot.

Player A wins on the first shot.

Because she has a probability 2/3 of making each of her shots, the probability of winning at the first shot is

P(1) = 2/3

Now let's see the next case, player A wins at her second shot.

This means that first, she misses her first shot, with a probability of:

p₁ = 1/3

Player B must miss his shot, the probability is:

p₂ = 1/2

Now player A must make her shot, so the probability is:

p₃ = 2/3

The joint probability is the product of the individual probabilities, so we have:

P(2) = (1/3)*(1/2)*(2/3) = 1/9

Now we can see the pattern, for P(3) we have

A misses: p₁ = 1/3    (first shot of A)

B misses: p₂ = 1/2

A misses: p₃ = 1/3   (Second shot of A)

B misses: p₄ = 1/2

A makes the shot: p₅ = 2/3

P(3) =  (1/3)*(1/2)*(1/3)*(1/2)*(2/3) = 1/54

We already can see the pattern.

P(n) = (1/3)^(n - 1)*(1/2)*(n - 1)*(2/3)

Player A has a probability P of winning, and we can write P as:

P = P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + ...

Then we will have:

P = 2/3 + 1/9 + 1/54 + 1/324 + ... ≈ 0.8

What is the volume of a square pyramid whose length of one side of its base is 9cm and whose height is 15cm. Show your work

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 405cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a pyramid is given by

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \times area \: of \: base \: \: \times height[/tex]

height = 15cm

From the question the pyramid is a square pyramid which means it's base is a square

Area of a square = l²

where l is the length of one side

l = 9cm

Area of square = 9² = 81cm²

So the volume of the pyramid is

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} \times 81 \times 15[/tex]

[tex]V = 27 \times 15[/tex]

We have the final answer as

V = 405 cm³

Therefore the volume of the pyramid is

Find the demand function if it is known that 1006 units of the product are demanded by consumers when the price is ​$5 per unit.

Answers

Answer:

q =  5000/x  + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

D´= dq/dx  =  - 5000/x²

dq = -( 5000/x²)*dx

Integrating on both sides of the equation we get:

q = -5000*∫ 1/x²) *dx

q = 5000/x + K   in this equation x is the price per unit and q demanded quantity and K integration constant

If when  1006 units are demanded when the rice is 5 then

x = 5     and   q = 1006

1006  =  5000/5 +K

1006 - 1000 = K

K = 6

Then the demand function is:

q =  5000/x  + 6

A farmer has 6 buckets of blueberries and wants to sell them at a market stall. The farmer will charge $1.50 per pint. If each bucket can hold half a bushel of blueberries, how much will the farmer make in selling all of the blueberries?

Answers

Answer:

$96

Step-by-step explanation:

6(1/2) = 3 bushels of berries total

3(4) = 12 pecks of berries total

4(8) = 32 quarts of berries total

32(2) = 64 pints of berries total

64 x $1.50 = $96

Answer:

The farmer will make a total of $96 from selling 6 buckets of blueberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total price is determined by multiplying the 12 pecks down into pints. Each pint sells for 1.50 and he has 64 pints of blueberries.

Primo car rental agency charges $21 per day plus $0.20 por milo. Ultimo car rental agency charges $24 per day plus $1.00 per milo. Find the daily mileage for which the Ultimo charge is four times the Primo charge.
The mileage is

Answers

Answer:

300 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the miles they travelled is 'm'

Mileage for Primo= 21 + (m × 0.20) = 21+0.2m

Mileage for Ultimo= 24+ ( m× 1.00) = 24 + m

Question says The mileage is equal when Ultimo's charge is 4× Primo

Thus,

4 × (21+0.2m) = 24+ m

84 + 0.8m = 24 + m

60 = 0.2m

m = 300

If you randomly select a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden," what is the probability that a vowel is randomly selected

Answers

Answer:

12/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Count all letters and all vowels then divide vowels by letters

The probability that a vowel is randomly selected in the experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden", is 4/9.

What is the probability of an event in an experiment?

The probability of any event suppose A, in an experiment is given as:

P(A) = n/S,

where P(A) is the probability of event A, n is the number of favorable outcomes to event A in the experiment, and S is the total number of outcomes in the experiment.

How to solve the given question?

In the question, we are given an experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden".

We are asked to find the probability that the selected letter is a vowel.

Let the event of selecting a vowel from the experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden" be A.

We can calculate the probability of event A by the formula:

P(A) = n/S,

where P(A) is the probability of event A, n is the number of favorable outcomes to event A in the experiment, and S is the total number of outcomes in the experiment.

The number of outcomes favorable to event A (n) = 12 (Number of vowels in the phrase)

The total number of outcomes in the experiment (S) = 27 (Number of letters in the phrase).

Now, we can find the probability of event A as:

P(A) = 12/27 = 4/9

∴ The probability that a vowel is randomly selected in the experiment of selecting a letter from the phrase "Sean wants to eat at Olive Garden", is 4/9.

a Find the amount compounded annually on Rs 25,000 for 2 years if the rates of
interest for two years ore 10 % and 12 % respectively,​

Answers

Answer:

Amount = Rs. 30250 when Rate = 10%

Amount = Rs. 31360 when Rate = 12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Principal, P = Rs.\ 25,000[/tex]

[tex]Time, t = 2\ years[/tex]

[tex]Rate; R_1 = 10\%[/tex]

[tex]Rate; R_2 = 12\%[/tex]

[tex]n = 1[/tex]

Required

Determine the Amount for both Rates

Amount (A) is calculated by:

[tex]A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

When Rate = 10%, we have:

Substitute 25,000 for P; 2 for t; 1 for n and 10% for r

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{10\%}{1})^{1 * 2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{10\%}{1})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 10\%)^{2}[/tex]

Convert 10% to decimal

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 0.10)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1.10)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * 1.21[/tex]

[tex]A = 30250[/tex]

Hence;

Amount = Rs. 30250 when Rate = 10%

When Rate = 12%, we have:

Substitute 25,000 for P; 2 for t; 1 for n and 10% for r

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{12\%}{1})^{1 * 2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + \frac{12\%}{1})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 12\%)^{2}[/tex]

Convert 12% to decimal

[tex]A = 25000 * (1 + 0.12)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * (1.12)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A = 25000 * 1.2544[/tex]

Answers

Answer: Dimension = 27 inches by 39.75 inches

Concept:

A perimeter is a path that encompasses/surrounds/outlines a shape.

Perimeter (rectangle) = 2 (l + w)

l = length

w = width

Solve:

l = 2w - 14.25

w = w

P = 133.5

Given equation

P = 2 (l + w)

Substitute values into the equation

133.5 = 2 (2w - 14.25 + w)

Combine like terms

133.5 = 2 (3w - 14.25)

Distributive property

133.5 = 6w - 28.5

Add 28.5 on both sides

133.5 + 28.5 = 6w - 28.5 + 28.5

162 = 6w

Divide 6 on both sides

162 / 6 = 6w / 6

w = 27 in

l = 2w - 14.25 = 2 (27) - 14.25 = 39.75 in

2) We will state the null and alternative hypothesis

3) We will determine the critical values from the relevant tables

4) From the critical values gotten, we will determine it's corresponding region where it can be rejected.

5)We will calculate the value of the test statistic from the formula;

z = [(x1' - x2') - (μ1 - μ2)]/√[((σ1)²/n1) + ((σ2)²/n2)]

6) If the value of the test statistic gotten from step 5 above falls in the region of rejection noted in step 4,then we will reject the null hypothesis
