You play two games against the same opponent. The probability you win the first game is 0.4. If you win the first game, the prob

ability you also win the second one is 0.2. If you lose the first game, the probability that you win the second game is 0.3.

Answer:

a) No

b) 42%

c) 8%

d) X               0                 1                2

   P(X)           42%            50%         8%

e) 0.62

Step-by-step explanation:

a) No, the two games are not independent because the the probability you win the second game is dependent on the probability that you win or lose the second game.

b) P(lose first game) = 1 - P(win first game) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

P(lose second game) = 1 - P(win second game) = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

P(lose both games) = P(lose first game)  × P(lose second game) = 0.6 × 0.7 = 0.42 = 42%

c)   P(win first game)  = 0.4

P(win second game) = 0.2

P(win both games) = P(win first game)  × P(win second game) = 0.4 × 0.2 = 0.08 = 8%

d) X               0                 1                2

   P(X)           42%            50%         8%

P(X = 0)  =  P(lose both games) = P(lose first game)  × P(lose second game) = 0.6 × 0.7 = 0.42 = 42%

P(X = 1) = [ P(lose first game)  × P(win second game)] + [ P(win first game)  × P(lose second game)] = ( 0.6 × 0.3) + (0.4 × 0.8) = 0.18 + 0.32 = 0.5 = 50%

e) The expected value  \mu=\Sigma}xP(x)= (0*0.42)+(1*0.5)+(2*0.08)=0.66

f) Variance \sigma^2=\Sigma(x-\mu^2)p(x)= (0-0.66)^2*0.42+ (1-0.66)^2*0.5+ (2-0.66)^2*0.08=0.3844

Standard deviation \sigma=\sqrt{variance} = \sqrt{0.3844}=0.62

Find the average rate of change of each function over the interval [0, 2]. Match each representation with its respective average
marishachu [46]
Average rate of change over interval [a,b]: r=[f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)
In this case the interval is [0,2], then a=0, b=2
r=[f(2)-f(0)]/(2-0)
r=[f(2)-f(0)]/2

1) First function: h(x)
r=[h(2)-h(0)]/2
x=2→h(2)=(2)^2+2(2)-6
h(2)=4+4-6
h(2)=2
x=0→h(0)=(0)^2+2(0)-6
h(0)=0+0-6
h(0)=-6
r=[h(2)-h(0)]/2
r=[2-(-6)]/2
r=(2+6)/2
r=(8)/2
r=4

2) Second function: f(x)
A function, f, has an
x-intercept at (2,0)→x=2, f(2)=0
and a y-intercept at (0,-10)→x=0, f(0)=-10
r=[f(2)-f(0)]/2
r=[0-(-10)]/2
r=(0+10)/2
r=(10)/2
r=5

3) Third function: g(x)
r=[g(2)-g(0)]/2
From the graph:
g(2)=6
g(0)=2
r=(6-2)/2
r=(4)/2
r=2

4) Fourth function: j(x)
r=[j(2)-j(0)]/2
From the table:
x=2→j(2)=-8
x=0→j(0)=4
r=(-8-4)/2
r=(-12)/2
r=-6

Answer:
Pairs
1) h(x)     4
2) f(x)      5
3) g(x)     2
4) j(x)     -6
