Two students have a bitter disagreement about the answer to a homework question and decide to settle their differences in a duel at the golf cours. The rules of the duel are simple:

Each student takes a single shot from the 18th tee. If only one student's shot lands on the green, that student is declared the victor and the duel is over. If both students' shots land on the green, the result is a draw and the duel is over. If they both miss the green, then they repeat another round (and so on) until the duel ends in a draw or with a victor. The result of each tee shot is independent. Student A has not spent much time at the golf course, resulting in a 0.55 probability that her tee shot will hit the green. Student B golfs regularly, resulting in a 0.76 probability that his tee shot will hit the green.

Required:
a. Whatâs the probability that the duel ends in round 1?
b.Whatâs the probability that the duel ends in the 3rd round?
c. Whatâs the probability that the duel ends in a draw (i.e., that neither student wins)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) P(duel end in round 1 ) = 0.892

b.) P(duel ends in the 3rd round) = 0.010

c.) P(duel ends in a draw) = 0.418

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

P(A) - Probability that Student A will hit the green.

P(¬A) - Probability that Student A will miss the green.

P(B) - Probability that Student B will hit the green.

P(¬B) - Probability that Student B will miss the green.

Given,

P(A) = 0.55 , P(B) = 0.76

As we know that,

P(A) + P(¬A) = 1

⇒P(¬A) = 1 - P(A)

            = 1 - 0.55

            = 0.45

⇒P(¬A) = 0.45

And

P(B) + P(¬B) = 1

⇒P(¬B) = 1 - P(B)

            = 1 - 0.76

            = 0.24

⇒P(¬B) = 0.24

So, we get

P(A) = 0.55 , P(B) = 0.76

P(¬A) = 0.45, P(¬B) = 0.24

a.)

P(duel end in round 1 ) = P( both hit on green or only one hit on green )

                                     = P(A).P(B) + [ P(A).P(¬B) + P(¬A).P(B) ]

                                     = 0.55(0.76 ) + [ 0.55(0.24) + 0.45(0.76) ]

                                     = 0.418 + [ 0.132 + 0.342 ]

                                     = 0.418 + [ 0.474 ]

                                     = 0.892

⇒P(duel end in round 1 ) = 0.892

b.)

P(duel ends in the 3rd round) = P( duel miss green in 1st round × duel miss green in 2nd round × both hit on green or only one hit on green in 3rd round )

                                                = [ P(¬A).P(¬B) ] × [ P(¬A).P(¬B) ] × { P(A).P(B) + [     P(A).P(¬B) + P(¬A).P(B) ] }

                                               = [ 0.45(0.24) ] ×  [ 0.45(0.24) ] × { 0.55(0.76 ) + [ 0.55(0.24) + 0.45(0.76) ] }

                                               = [ 0.108 ] ×  [0.108] × { 0.418 + [ 0.132 + 0.342 ] }

                                               = 0.011664 × 0.892

                                               = 0.010404 ≈ 0.010

⇒P(duel ends in the 3rd round) = 0.010

c.)

P(duel ends in a draw) = P(both students' shots land on the green)

                                     = P(A).P(B)

                                     = 0.55(0.76)

                                     = 0.418

⇒P(duel ends in a draw) = 0.418

A cone has a base area of 20 m and a volume of 160 m. Find the height of the cone​

Answers

Given:

Base area of cone =20 m²

Volume of the cone = 160 m³

To find:

The height of the cone.

Solution:

We know that, the volume of a cone is

[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}Bh[/tex]

Where, B is the base area and h is the height of the cone.

Putting V=160 and B=20, we get

[tex]160=\dfrac{1}{3}(20)h[/tex]

[tex]480=20h[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{480}{20}=h[/tex]

[tex]24=h[/tex]

Therefore, the height of the cone is 24 m.

What is the diameter of a sphere with a volume of 78006 in?

Answers

Answer: 53.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Then the diameter equals 53.0122774

The diameter of the sphere is 53.01 inch

What is a Sphere?

A sphere is symmetrical, round in shape. It is a three dimensional solid, that has all its surface points at equal distances from the center. It has surface area and volume based on its radius. It does not have any faces, corners or edges.

The Surface Area of a Sphere = 4πr²

The Volume of a Sphere = ( 4/3 ) πr³

where r is the radius of the sphere

Given data ,

Let the diameter of the sphere be = d

The radius of the sphere be = r

The volume of the sphere is V = 78006 inch³

The Volume of a Sphere = ( 4/3 ) πr³

Substituting the values in the equation ,we get

( 4/3 ) πr³ = 78006 inch³

Now , Multiply by ( 3 / 4 ) on both sides , we get

πr³ = ( 78006 x 3 ) / 4

     = 58504.5 inch³

Divide by π on both sides , we get

r³ = 58504.5 / π

   = 18622.56 inch³

Taking cube roots on both sides , we get

r = 26.506 inch

So , the radius of the sphere is r = 26.506 inch

Now , the diameter of the sphere is d = 2 x r

                                                               = 2 x 26.506

                                                               = 53.01 inch

Hence , The diameter of the sphere is 53.01 inch

PLEASE HELP I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!! According to the Census Bureau, in 2014 California had an estimated population of 3.88 × 107 and Wyoming had a population of 5.84 × 105. Complete the following sentences.

3.8216 × 107 0.38216 × 107 3.8216 × 106 38.216 × 107 0.66 × 101

66.4 × 101 6.64 × 101

The population of California is __________ more than the population of Wyoming
Alternatively, the population of California is _________ times the population of Wyoming.

Answers

Answer:

The population of California is [tex]3.3216 * 10^{7}[/tex] more than the population of Wyoming.

Alternatively, the population of California is [tex]6.64 * 10^{1}[/tex] times the population of Wyoming.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part is to take the numbers out of the scientific notation. The estimated population of California is 38,800,000, and the population of Wyoming is 584,000.

Not that we've done that, let's start with the first part of the problem.

"The population of California is __________ more than the population of Wyoming."

This is a statement of subtraction, because it's not asking how many TIMES more. So, we subtract Wyoming's population from California's population.

[tex]38,800,000 - 584,000 = 38,216,000.[/tex]

Putting that number into scientific notation is easy: move the decimal to the place in the number where there will only be one number in front of the decimal: 3.3216. How many number slots until you have only one number in front of the decimal? 7. So, we know that the power of 10 is going to be 7. So, the first part of the question answers to:

[tex]3.8216 * 10^{7} .[/tex]

Now for the second part.

"Alternatively, the population of California is _________ times the population of Wyoming."

This is a problem of division. The question is asking us to divide California's population by Wyoming's population.

[tex]\frac{38,800,000}{584,000} = 0.664383562 * 10^{2} .[/tex]

We need to have one number in front of the decimal point, so we move it behind the first 6, giving us 6.64. Because we did this, we need to bump the exponent from 2 to 1, leaving us with:

[tex]6.64 * 10^{1}.[/tex]

So, the answer to the question is:

1. [tex]3.8216 * 10^{7}.[/tex]

2. [tex]6.64 * 10^{1}.[/tex]

Hope this helped you, and I hope you get a perfect score!! :)
