The experimental probability the placebo pill induced better concentration on the student exams is 0.64

The question has to do with probability.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring.

The probability of an event A is given by

P(A) = number of occurrences of event A/total number of occurrences of all events.

<h3>What is the experimental probability the placebo pill induced better concentration on the student exams?</h3>

Given that in the study on the placebo effect on 100 students, 64 were found to perform better on tests after taking a fake pill to improve concentration.

The event A = students performing better.

Since 64 students performed better, the number of occurrences of event A = 64.

Since there were 100 students, the total number of occurrences = 100.

So, P(A) = P(students perform better)

= number of occurrences of event A/total number of occurrences of all events.

= 64/100

= 0.64

So, the experimental probability the placebo pill induced better concentration on the student exams is 0.64

Bill and Sam go to a casino. They each have the same amour of money. After an hour bill had won $20 and Sam lost the same amount
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

They each have $180 before they started.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the amount they each have before they started. Therefore, we have:

Amount with Bill after one hour = x + $20

Amount with Sam after one hour = x - $20

Amount with Bill after two hours = (x + $20) - (x + $20)(2 / 3)

Amount with Sam after two hours = (x - $20) + (x - $20)(2 / 3) = 4((x + $20) - (x + $20)(2 / 3)) ............... (1)

From equation (1), we can solve for x as follows:

(x - $20) + (x - $20)(2 / 3) = 4((x + $20) - (x + $20)(2 / 3))

(x - $20) + (x - $20)0.666666666666667= 4((x + $20) - (x + $20) 0.666666666666667)

x - $20 + 0.666666666666667x - $13.3333333333333= 4(x + $20 - 0.666666666666667x - $13.3333333333333)

x - $20 + 0.666666666666667x - $13.3333333333333= 4x + $80 - 2.66666666666667x - $ 53.3333333333332

Collecting the like terms, we have:

x + 0.666666666666667x - 4x + 2.66666666666667x = $80 - $53.3333333333332+ $20 + $13.3333333333333

(1 + 0.666666666666667- 4 + 2.66666666666667)x = $60

0.333333333333337x = $60

x = $60 / 0.333333333333337

x = $180

Therefore, they each have $180 before they started.
