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:
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
What is the x intercept of the graph of the inequality 2x + 3y > 12
Answers
Answer: x intercept = 6
This is the location (6,0)
===============================================================
Explanation:
I assume you're talking about the boundary line of the inequality. The boundary line equation is 2x + 3y = 12
To find the x intercept, plug in y = 0 and solve for x
2x + 3y = 12
2x + 3(0) = 12
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6
The boundary line 2x+3y = 12 crosses the x axis at x = 6.
We can say the x intercept is x = 6. This is the location (6,0).
Side note: the y intercept is y = 4, which is found by plugging in x = 0 and solving for y.

Step-by-step explanation:
Two athletes practice for a marathon by running back and forth on an 11-mile course. They start running simultaneously, one at a speed 2 mph faster than the other's speed. How fast does each run if they meet 1 hour 6 minutes after starting? (The faster runner is already returning at this point.) How far from the starting point do the runners meet?
Answers
Answer:
Faster runner speed: 11 mph
Slower runner speed: 9 mph
Distance from starting point: 9.9 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the slower runner speed be: x
Faster runner speed: x+2
1 hour 6 minutes = 1.1 hours
Slower: 1.1(x) = 1.1x miles
Faster: 1.1(x+2) = 1.1x+2.2 miles
This means that the faster runner had gone 2.2 miles more than the slower runner.
1.1x + 2.2 > 11 miles (This is true as we know the faster runner is coming back from the 11 mile run)
1.1x > 11 - 2.2 miles
1.1x > 8.8 miles
x > 8.8 / 2.2 miles
x > 8 mph
1.1x < 11 miles (we know this is true as the slower runner has to have gone less than 11 miles as the faster runner met him on his way back)
x < 11 / 1.1 miles
x < 10 miles
8 < x < 10
Although x could be any number including decimal between 8 and 10, the obvious first answer would be 9. However we need to check if this answer is correct.
Slower runner distance to the end:
1.1(9) = 9.9 miles
11 - 9.9 = 1.1 miles
Faster runners distance from the end (when coming back)
1.1(9+2) = 1.1(11) = 12.1 miles
12.1 - 11 = 1.1 miles
The speeds 9 mph and 11 mph are now proven to be the right speeds. Using our equation before, we can figure out the distance from the starting point that they meet at. This is just how far the slower runner has gotten. So, 1.1(9) = 9.9 miles from the starting point

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.
If R is the midpoint of PS with PR=6x+16 and RS=-26 then find PS
Answers
Answer:
PS = 116
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
PR = 6x + 16
RS = 12x - 26
Required:
Find PS
Solution:
Since R is the midpoint of PS, therefore,
PR = RS
6x + 16 = 12x - 26
Collect like terms
6x - 12x = -16 - 26
-6x = -42
Divide both sides by -6
x = -42/-6
x = 7
✔️PS = PR + RS (segment addition postulate)
PS = 6x + 16 + 12x - 26
Plug in the value of x
PS = 6(7) + 16 + 12(7) - 26
PS = 42 + 16 + 84 - 26
PS = 116

C) 0.717
D) 0.861
Answers
Answer:
B) 0.283
Step-by-step explanation:
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
25% of the students drive themselves to school.
This means that [tex]p = 0.25[/tex]
Class of 18 students
This means that [tex]n = 18[/tex]
What would be the probability that at least 6 students drive themselves to school?
This is
[tex]P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{18} = 0.006[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{15,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{17} = 0.034[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{15,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{16} = 0.096[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{15,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{15} = 0.17[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{15,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{14} = 0.213[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{15,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{13} = 0.199[/tex]
[tex]P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.006 + 0.034 + 0.096 + 0.17 + 0.213 + 0.199 = 0.718[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.718 = 0.282[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
I notice you have a dx at the end of the equation, this leads me to believe this is an integral. With no bounds of integration, I will solve for the indefinite integral. I will also interpret your equation as follows:
[tex]\int \:2+5x+\frac{1}{2}x^3dx[/tex]
Sum rule tells us:
[tex]\int \:2dx+\int \:5xdx+\int \frac{1}{2}x^3dx[/tex]
From this we get:
[tex]2x+\frac{5x^2}{2}+\frac{x^4}{8}[/tex]
Don't forget to add the constant!
[tex]2x+\frac{5x^2}{2}+\frac{x^4}{8}+C[/tex]

Answer:
[tex]a_4 = -108[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]a_n = -3a_{n-1}[/tex]
[tex]a_1 = 4[/tex]
Required
Find [tex]a_4[/tex]
[tex]a_4 = -3a_{4-1}[/tex]
[tex]a_4 = -3a_3[/tex]
We calculate for a3
[tex]a_3 = -3a_{3-1}[/tex]
[tex]a_3 = -3a_2[/tex]
Calculate for a2
[tex]a_2 = -3a_{2-1[/tex]
[tex]a_2 = -3a_1[/tex]
Substitute 4 for a1
[tex]a_2 = -3*4[/tex]
[tex]a_2 = -12[/tex]
Substitute -12 for a2 in [tex]a_3 = -3a_2[/tex]
[tex]a_3 = -3 * -12[/tex]
[tex]a_3 = 36[/tex]
Substitute 36 for a3 in [tex]a_4 = -3a_3[/tex]
[tex]a_4 = -3*36[/tex]
[tex]a_4 = -108[/tex]
