Suppose that on each play of a game, a gambler either wins 1 with probability p or loses 1 with probability 1–p (or q). The gambler keeps betting until she or he is either up a total of n or down a total of m. What is the probability the gambler will quit an overall winner? You must consider both cases when p = 0.5 and when p ≠ 0.5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information,

Considering both cases when p = 0.5 and when p ≠ 0.5

the probability that the gambler will quit an overall winner is:

[tex]P = \dfrac{1 - (\dfrac{1-p}{p} )^K}{1- (\dfrac{1-p}{p})^N } \ \ \ is \ p \neq 0.5 \ and\ K/N = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

where ;

N.k = n  and k  = m

Hence, the probability changes to:

[tex]P = \dfrac{1 -(\dfrac{1-p}{p})^m}{1 -(\dfrac{1-p}{p})^{m+n}}[/tex] is  p ≠ 0.5   and k/N = [tex]\dfrac{m}{m+n}[/tex]  is P = 0.5

Answer:

S = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step: Simplify both sides of the equation

4/5 s - 3/4 s = 1/10

4/5 s + -3/4 s = 1/10

(4/5 s + -3/4 s) = 1/10 (combine like terms)

1/20 s = 1/10

1/20 s = 1/10

step 2: multiply both sides by 20

20 * (1/20 s) = 20 * (1/10)

s = 2

A golf ball has a diameter of 1.6 cubic inches. How many golf balls will fit inside of a storage unit that is 10 feet wide, 20 feet long, and 8 feet high? (Volume of a sphere = 4/3 π r3 1291962 balls 1291962 balls 2764800 balls

Answers

Answer:

1291962 golf balls

Step-by-step explanation:

golf ball: 4/3П(0.8)^3=2.14 in^3

storage unit: 120(240)(96)=2764800 in^3

2764800/2.14=1291962 golf balls

Number of golf balls that will fit inside of a storage will be 1291962 golf balls

diameter of golf ball = 1.6 in³

radius will be = 0.8 in³  

it is known that 1 ft = 12 in

What is volume ?

Volume is a three dimensional space occupy by the body of particular shape  such as here :

volume (V) of sphere golf ball with radius r : [tex]\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}V&= \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3} \\&=\frac{4}{3}\pi (.8)^{3}\\&\approx 2.14 \text{\:in}^{3}\end{aligned}[/tex]

Volume of rectangle ([tex]V_{1}[/tex]) with length (l= 10x12 in.), breadth (b =20x12 in.) and height (h = 8x12 in.) : lbh

[tex]\begin{aligned}V_{1}&=lbh\\&=120\cdot240\cdot96\\&=2764800 \text{\:in}^3\end{aligned}[/tex]

therefore, number of golf balls will fit inside of a rectangular storage

will be : [tex]\frac{V_{1}}{V}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{no. of golf ball}&= \frac{V_{1}}{V}\\&=\frac{2764800 \text{\:in}^3}{2.14}\\&\approx 1291962\end{aligned}[/tex]

number of golf balls will be 1291962.

To find the fraction of given problem.

What is fraction?

A fraction is a part of a whole. In arithmetic, the number is expressed as a quotient, in which the numerator is divided by the denominator. In a simple fraction, both are integers. A complex fraction has a fraction in the numerator or denominator. In a proper fraction, the numerator is less than the denominator.

Given that:

Let the two fractions be a/b  and  c/d then:

a/b−c/d=ad−bc/bd

It must have like denominators to subtract fractions.

For = 9 1/10 - 4 3/4= 9 1/10 - 19/4

Taking LCM of 10 and 4 is 20.

=[tex]\frac{91*2-19*2.5}{20} \\\\\frac{182-47.5}{20} \\\\\frac{92}{20}[/tex]

After cancel out numerator and denominators

Answers

Answer: C. The data do not provide sufficient evidence to reject H0; thus, we cannot conclude that the mean point spread fo home games is higher than that of away games.

Step-by-step explanation: In Hypothesis Testing using p-value, after stating the null an alternative hypothesis, you have to compare p-value with level of significance, also known as α. If p-value is less than α, reject null hypothesis and accept alternative. If p-value is bigger, we would fail to reject null hypothesis and not accept the alternative.

In the above testing, P-value is 0.4351. Level of significance is, generally, 0.05. Comparing them, p-value is bigger than α. What it means is there is not enough evidence to support null hypothesis and, consequently, we can't conclude the difference in mean point spread of home games is higher than of the away games.

The coefficient of determination is used to: compute correlations for truncated ranges. compare the relative strength of coefficients. identify curvilinear relationships. test correlations for causality.

Answers

Answer: compare the relative strength of coefficients.

Step-by-step explanation: The Coefficient of determination usually denoted as R^2 is obtained by taking the squared value of the correlation Coefficient (R). It's value ranges from 0 to 1 and the value obtained gives the proportion of variation in the dependent variable which could be attributed to it's correlation or relationship to th independent variable. With a R^2 value close to 1, this means a large portion of Variation in a variable A could be explained due to changes in variable B while a low value signifies a low variance between the variables. Hence, the Coefficient of determination is used in comparing the relative strength of the Coefficients in other to establish whether a weak or strong relationship exist.

How do you estimate an irrational vsquare root? Use COMPLETE sentences! Make sure you use LOTS of details. Word Bank Square Root Square Estimate Predict - Perfect Squares Whole Number Number Line Left/Right Tick Marks Upper/Lower Radical Consecutive​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets illustrate one method by an example:

Find the square root of  12:

The 2 perfect squares around 12 are 3^2 and 4^2 so the square root of 12 is going to be between 3 and 4.

We might predict it to be 3.5

If we square 3.5 we get 12.25 so we are pretty close.

It is less than 3.5 so we might try 3.4 .

Working 3.4^2 out we get  11.56  so we know the square root is between 3.4 and 3.5  Since 12.25 is closer to 12 than 11.56, the square root is closer to 3.5 than 3.4 so we might try 3.46.

This is called the method of trial and improvement and requires you to do long multiplications.

The area of a rectangle is 46 square inches. If the length is 4 times the width, then find the dimensions of the rectangle. Round off your answers to the nearest hundreth.

Answers

Answer:

So the breadth of the rectangle is y= 3.39 inches

And the length is = x= 4y= 4* 3.39= 13.56 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be given by x and the breadth be defined by y.

Then according to the area of rectangle

Area= Length * breadth

But length is 4 times its width so x= 4y  

Therefore putting the values

Area= Length * breadth

46= x*y

46= 4y*y

46/4= y²

or

y ²= 11.5

Now taking the square root of both sides we get

y= √11.5=3.39116 inches

So the breadth of the rectangle is y= 3.39 inches

And the length is = x= 4y= 4* 3.39= 13.56 inches
