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

What is the GCF of 2ab + 8b?

Answers

2b
Hope this helps!!!
:):)

Answer:

It is given that Tawanna is asked to find the GCF of each term in the expression 2ab+8b.

Firstly she should find the factors of each term in the expression as :

2ab=1,2,a and b

8b=1,2,4,8 and b

Now, GCF is the greatest common factor, since the GCF of the above terms is 1,2 and b, thus she should use each common factor once.

She wrote the common factors twice which is the error in her solution, thus she should use each common factor once.

Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form equation of the line in slope intercept form is blank

Answers

Answer:

y=70x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so the slope is determined by having two points on the line in this case one of them is (0,20) and (2,160), you're going 140 up and 2 over so the slope would be [tex]\frac{140}{2}[/tex] which equals 70 so thats how you get m, to get b you simply put the y interecept which is at 20.

Plugs those numbers together you get y=70x+20 which is intercept form.

3/2 ∜(2(x-6)^3 )+4=16

Answers

Answer:

x ≈ 18.7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a big equation, so let's break it down a bit.

[tex]\frac{3}{2} \sqrt[4]{(2(x-6) ^3 )} +4=16[/tex]

Let's start by isolating the radical which is x.

So subtract 4 from both sides :

[tex]\frac{3}{2} \sqrt[4]{(2(x-6) ^3)}[/tex][tex]=12[/tex]

Now multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction :

[tex]3\sqrt[4]{(2(x-6)^3)} = 24[/tex]

Now divide both sides by 3 to get rid of the number out of the poly root :

[tex]\sqrt[4]{2(x-6) ^3}[/tex][tex]=8[/tex]

Now take both sides of the equation to the power of 4 :

[tex]2x^3 - 36x^2+216x-432=4096[/tex]

And lastly, solve :

[tex]x = 18.69920[/tex] which is rounded up to [tex]x[/tex] ≈ [tex]18.7[/tex]

Consider the graph of f shown be

Estimate the average rate of change from X = 2 to x = 5.

Answers

Answer:

Average rate of change = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the average rate of change of the graph at x = 2 to x = 5.

From the graph attached,

At x = 2,

f(2) = 3

At x = 5,

f(5) = 7

Since, average rate of change of the function between x = a and x = b is defined by,

Average rate of change = [tex]\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}[/tex]

Therefore, average rate of change of the function represented by the graph will be = [tex]\frac{7-3}{5-2}[/tex]

           = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
