Alice, Bob, and Carol play a chess tournament. The first game is played between Alice and Bob. The player who sits out a given game plays next the winner of that game. The tournament ends when some player wins two successive games. Let a tournament history be the list of game winners, so for example ACBAA corresponds to the tournament where Alice won games 1, 4, and 5, Caroll won game 2, and Bob won game 3.

Required:
a. Provide a tree-based sequential description of a sample space where the outcomes are the possible tournament histories.
b. We are told that every possible tournament history that consists of k games has probability 1/2k, and that a tournament history consisting of an infinite number of games has zero prob- ability. Demonstrate that this assignment of probabilities defines a legitimate probability law.
c. Assuming the probability law from part (b) to be correct, find the probability that the tournament lasts no more than 5 games, and the probability for each of Alice, Bob, and Caroll winning the tournament.

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² - 72x = 0 ← factor out 4 from each term

4(x² - 18x) = 0

To complete the square

add/subtract (half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 18x

4(x² + 2(- 9)x + 81 - 81) = 0

4(x - 9)² - 4(81) = 0

4(x - 9)² - 324 = 0 ( add 324 to both sides )

4(x - 9)² = 324 ( divide both sides by 4 )

(x - 9)² = 81 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 9 = ± [tex]\sqrt{81}[/tex] = ± 9 ( add 9 to both sides )

x = 9 ± 9

Then

x = 9 - 9 = 0

x = 9 + 9 = 18

Answer:

  x = 7

  y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

  a^-b = 1/a^b

__

For a=-j and b=7,

  (-j)^-7 = 1/(-j)^7   ⇒   x = 7

For a=k and b=-5,

  k^-5 = 1/k^5   ⇒   y = 5

Given:

The heights (in inches) of students in a third-grade class are:

39, 37, 48, 49, 40, 42, 48, 53, 47, 42, 49, 51, 52, 45, 47, 48

To find:

The median height.

Solution:

The given data set is:

39, 37, 48, 49, 40, 42, 48, 53, 47, 42, 49, 51, 52, 45, 47, 48

Arrange the data set in ascending order.

37, 39, 40, 42, 42, 45, 47, 47, 48, 48, 48, 49, 49, 51, 52, 53

Here, the number of observations is 16. So, the median of the given data set is:

[tex]Median=\dfrac{\dfrac{n}{2}\text{th term}+\left(\dfrac{n}{2}+1\right)\text{th term}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median=\dfrac{\dfrac{16}{2}\text{th term}+\left(\dfrac{16}{2}+1\right)\text{th term}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median=\dfrac{8\text{th term}+9\text{th term}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median=\dfrac{47+48}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median=\dfrac{95}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Median=47.5[/tex]

Therefore, the median height of the students is 47.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

We select a sample size n from the confidence interval with the mean [tex]\mu[/tex]and default [tex]\sigma[/tex], then the mean take seriously given as the straight line with a z score given by the confidence interval

[tex]\mu=3.87\\\\\sigma=2.01\\\\n=110\\\\[/tex]

Using formula:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]  

The probability that perhaps the mean shells length of the sample is over 4.03 pounds is

[tex]P(X>4.03)=P(z>\frac{4.03-3.87}{\frac{2.01}{\sqrt{110}}})=P(z>0.8349)[/tex]

Now, we utilize z to get the likelihood, and we use the Excel function for a more exact distribution

[tex]=\textup{NORM.S.DIST(0.8349,TRUE)}\\\\P(z<0.8349)=0.7981[/tex]

the required probability: [tex]P(z>0.8349)=1-P(z<0.8349)=1-0.7981=\boldsymbol{0.2019}[/tex]

Answer:

2x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average = sum of the expression / number of expressions

= [(4 - 2x) + (-7 - 3x) + (11x + 6)] / 3

= (-2x - 3x + 11x + 4 - 7 + 6) / 3

= 6x + 3 / 3

= 2x + 1

Answer:

2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

(4-2x), (-7-3x),(11x+6)

Add the three expressions

(4-2x)+ (-7-3x)+(11x+6)

Combine like terms

-2x-3x+11x+4-7+6

6x+3

Divide by the number of expressions which was 3

(6x+3)/3

2x+1

The average is 2x+1

The transformation set of [tex]y[/tex] values for function [tex]f[/tex] is [tex][-1,1][/tex] this is an interval to which sine function maps.

You can observe that the interval to which [tex]g[/tex] function maps equals to [tex][-2,0][/tex].

So let us take a look at the possible options.

Option A states that shifting [tex]f[/tex] up by [tex]\pi/2[/tex] would result in [tex]g[/tex] having an interval [tex][-1,1]+\frac{\pi}{2}\approx[0.57,2.57][/tex] which is clearly not true that means A is false.

Let's try option B. Shifting [tex]f[/tex] down by [tex]1[/tex] to get [tex]g[/tex] would mean that has a transformation interval of [tex][-1,1]-1=[-2,0][/tex]. This seems to fit our observation and it is correct.

So the answer would be B. If we shift [tex]f[/tex] down by one we get [tex]g[/tex], which means that [tex]f(x)=\sin(x)[/tex] and [tex]g(x)=f(x)-1=\sin(x)-1[/tex].

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

0.985 = 98.5% probability that the sample mean will be between $7.75 and $8.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

The average price for a movie in the United States in 2012 was $7.96. Assume the population st. dev. is $0.50.

This means that [tex]\mu = 7.96, \sigma = 0.5[/tex]

Sample of 30:

This means that [tex]n = 30, s = \frac{0.5}{\sqrt{30}}[/tex]

What is the probability that the sample mean will be between $7.75 and $8.20?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 8.2 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 7.75.

X = 8.2

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{8.2 - 7.96}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{30}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.63[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.63[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9957

X = 7.75

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{7.75 - 7.96}{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{30}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0107.

0.9957 - 0.0157 = 0.985

0.985 = 98.5% probability that the sample mean will be between $7.75 and $8.20.

Answer:

b. The actual count of bike riders is too small.

d. n*p is not greater than 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for a proportion:

To be possible to build a confidence interval for a proportion, the sample needs to have at least 10 successes, that is, [tex]np \geq 10[/tex] and at least 10 failures, that is, [tex]n(1-p) \geq 10[/tex]

Of the 123 students surveyed 5 ride a bike to campus.

Less than 10 successes, that is:

The actual count of bike riders is too small, or [tex]np < 10[/tex], and thus, options b and d are correct.

55 x 2 = 110 which is the age of the 2 joggers together.

3m + 110 = 225 then solve for m so,

3m = 115

m = 38.3333

so hence, m is greater than 31 but less than 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

Choosing with replacement means that the first draw from the lot is replaced before another is picked '.

Number of Blue marbles = 2

Number of red marbles = 4

Total number of marbles = (2 + 4) = 6

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

1st draw :

Probability of picking blue = 2 / 6 = 1 /3

2nd draw :

Probability of picking blue = 2 / 6 = 1/3

P(1st draw) * P(2nd draw)

1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9

Additional comment

For finding solutions to polynomial equations, I like to put them in the form f(x)=0. Most graphing calculators find zeros (x-intercepts) easily. Sometimes they don't do so well with points where curves intersect. Also, the function f(x) is easily iterated by most graphing calculators in those situations where the root is irrational or needs to be found to best possible accuracy.

Answer:

The answer is b: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

good luck!

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use the Pythagorean theorem, we can find if it is a right triangle. To do that, set up an equation.

[tex]6^{2}+8^{2}=c^2[/tex]

If the triangle is a right triangle, c would equal 11

Solve.

[tex]36+64=100[/tex]

Then find the square root of 100.

The square root of 100 is 10, not 11.

So this is not a right triangle.

Answer:

a) 0.321 = 32.1% probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day.

b) 0.103 = 10.3% probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row.

c) (-$1449.68, $3109.68)

d) A bonus of $4,488.174 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Normal distribution with mean = $830 and standard deviation = $1,781.

This means that [tex]\mu = 830, \sigma = 1781[/tex]

(a) What is the probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 0, so:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0 - 830}{1781}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.466[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.466[/tex] has a p-value 0.321.

0.321 = 32.1% probability of obtaining a negative daily return, on any given day.

(b) Assuming the returns on successive days are independent of each other, what is the probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row?

Each day, 0.3206 probability, so:

[tex](0.321)^2 = 0.103[/tex]

0.103 = 10.3% probability of having a negative daily return for two days in a row.

(c) Give the boundaries of the interval containing the middle 80% of daily returns

Between the 50 - (80/2) = 10th percentile and the 50 + (80/2) = 90th percentile.

10th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.1, so X when Z = -1.28.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-1.28 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]

[tex]X - 830 = -1.28*1781[/tex]

[tex]X = -1449.68[/tex]

90th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.28 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]

[tex]X - 830 = 1.28*1781[/tex]

[tex]X = 3109.68[/tex]

So

(-$1449.68, $3109.68)

d) As part of its incentive program, any trader who obtains a daily return in the top 2% of historical returns receives a special bonus. What daily return is needed to get this bonus?

The 100 - 2 = 98th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.98, so X when Z = 2.054.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]2.054 = \frac{X - 830}{1781}[/tex]

[tex]X - 830 = 2.054*1781[/tex]

[tex]X = 4488.174 [/tex]

A bonus of $4,488.174 is needed.

Answer:

AB is correct as It is the shorter parallel line

as the line measures 6 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon is a trapezoid / (trapezium Eng/Europe)

We see the given coordinates  (2, 6) - (-4, 6) = x-6 y 0 = x = 6units

as x always is shown as x - 6  as  x= 6

We can also show workings as y2-y1/x2-x1 = 6-6/-4-2 0/-6

y = 0  x = 6 = 6 units as its horizontal line.

when y is 6-6 = 0 then we know the line is horizontal for y = 0.

The difference of the measures -4 to 2 is 6units so if no workings we just add on from -4 to 2 and find the answer is 6 units long.

When looking at diagonal lines we still group the x's and y's and make the fraction whole.

When looking for solid vertical lines that aren't shown here we use the y values if showing workings and show x =0 to cancel out.

Given:

Distance traveled by sprinter = 200 m

Time taken by sprinter = 20.03 seconds

To find:

The sprinter's average speed rounded to 4 sf.

Solution:

We know that,

[tex]\text{Average speed}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]

It is given that, the sprinter travels a distance of 200 m in a time of 20.03 seconds.

[tex]\text{Average speed}=\dfrac{200}{20.03}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Average speed}=9.985022466[/tex]

[tex]\text{Average speed}\approx 9.985[/tex]

Therefore, the average speed of the sprinter is 9.985 m/sec.
