In a two-player game, five cards, numbered 1 through 5, are placed in a bag. A card is drawn at random, and the players look at

the number. Which of the following scoring rules makes a fair game?
If it is greater than 2, Player 1 earns 2 points. If not, Player 2 earns 2 points.

If it is less than 2, Player 1 earns 3 points. If not, Player 2 earns 2 points.

If it is greater than 3, Player 1 earns 2 points. If not, Player 2 earns 2 points.

If it is less than 3, Player 1 earns 3 points. If not, Player 2 earns 2 points.

Answer:

If it is less than 3, Player 1 earns 3 points.

If not, Player 2 earns 2 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Player 1</u> :

p(N < 3) = p(N = 1 or N = 2) = 2/5

<u>Player 2</u> :

p(N ≥ 3) = p(N = 3 or N = 4 or N = 5) = 3/5

<u>We notice that</u> :

p(N < 3) × 3 = (2/5) × 3 = 6/5

On the other hand,

p(N ≥ 3) × 2 = (3/5) × 2 = 6/5

since ,the probability player 1 win multiplied by the associated number of points (3)

is equal to

the probability player 2 win multiplied by the associated number of points (2).

Then the game is fair.

Answer:

The last scoring rule makes a fair game

<em>If card value is less than 3, Player 1 earns 3 points. If not, Player 2 earns 2 points</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question which relates to probabilities, complementary probabilities and expected outcomes

Since there are 5 cards in total and only 1 card is picked, the probability of picking a card is the same i.e. 1/5 = 0.2 since each card is identical and therefore has the same likelihood of being drawn

Let's go through each of the rules, find the associated outcomes and probabilities of each of the outcome

The attached table shows a summary of all the possible outcomes of each rule, the probabilities associated with it, the complement of the rule, the complement probability, expected payoffs and who has the advantage for each rule

As an example, take the first row relating to the first rule:
If value of card is greater than 2, Player 1 earns 2 points. If not, Player 2 earns 2 points.

If the value is greater than 2 then the value is either {3, 4 or 5}. There are 3 possible outcomes out of a total of 5 so,

P(card value > 2) = P(3, 4, 5) = 3/5 = 0.6   and Player 1 gets 2 points so the expected value = 0.6 x 2 = 1.2 EP(P1

The complement of this event is

card value <=2 ie card value is either 1 or 2 ie 2 possible out of 5
P(card value <=2) = P(1,2) = 2/5 = 0.4
Note that this probability is 1 - P(card value > 2) = 1- 0.6 = 0.4

If so, Player 2 gets 2 points and his/her expected payoff is 0.4 x 2 = 0.8 EP(P2)

Since EP(P1) > EP(P2) this rule gives player 1 an advantage and therefore not a fair game

The other rows of the table can be interpreted the same way. Essentially we are looking for a rule that gives both players the same expected payoff and therefore each player has the same chance of winning

The table shows that the last rule is the fairest

Find the mean of the rainfall amounts .
anygoal [31]

Answer:

2.25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean, or the average, or the rainfall amounts, can be found by adding all of the amounts together and dividing by the number of amounts. In this case, \frac{3+2+1+3}{4}=\frac{9}{4}=2.25. Hope this helps!

Divide 33 into 2 groups so the ratio can be 4 to 7
svet-max [94.6K]
To do this task the best way is always add both "sides" of ratio and divide whole group by this sum.sum=4+7=1133:11=3Now we know how much is 1 and we can multiply by 4 and by 7 to find the answer.3*4=12 - first group3*7=21 - second group
Your result is ok.

I need help with this question
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form is found by solving that equation for y.

If y-3=\frac{1}{2}(x-1) then

y-3=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2} and

y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}+3 and

y=\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{6}{2} so

y=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}

The answer you have chosen is the correct one!  Good job!

Alandra's rectangular cake pan is 33cm by 23 cm. She has enough cake batter to fill it to a depth of 3 cm. Instead, Alandra want
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Alandra can fill 60 whole cones

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is V = L × W × H, where

  • L is its length
  • W is its width
  • H is its height

The volume of the cone is V = \frac{1}{3} π r² h, where

  • r is the radius of its base
  • h is its height

∵ Alandra's rectangular cake pan is 33 cm by 23 cm

∴ L = 33 cm and W = 23 cm

∵ She has enough cake batter to fill it to a depth of 3 cm.

∴ H = 3 cm

→ Find the volume of the batter using the 1st rule above

∵ V = 33 × 23 × 3

∴ V = 2277 cm³

∵ Alandra wants to pour the batter into ice cream cones

∵ She plans to fill each cone to a depth of 9 cm with a diameter of 4 cm

∴ h = 9 cm

∵ r = \frac{1}{2} diameter = \frac{1}{2} (4)

∴ r = 2 cm

→ Substitute them in the 2nd rule above to find the volume of each cone

∵ V = \frac{1}{3} (π) (2)² (9)

∴ V = 12π cm³

→ To find the number of cones divide the volume of the batter by

   the volume of each cone

∵ Number of cones = 2277 ÷ 12π

∴ Number of cones = 60.3993

→ We will take the whole number only because we need the whole cones

∴ Alandra can fill 60 whole cones
