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

If a/b = 2 /5, b/c = 3 /8, a/c =??​
scoray [572]

Answer:

3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

By question it's given that ,

\implies \dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{2}{5}

\implies \dfrac{b}{c}=\dfrac{3}{8}

And we need to find out the value of a/c .For that Multiply both of them , we have ;

\implies \dfrac{a}{b} \times\dfrac{b}{c}=\dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{8} \\\\\implies \dfrac{a}{c}= \dfrac{3}{20}

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>required</u><u> answer</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>3/</u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>.</u>

Air-USA has a policy of booking as many as 24 persons on an airplane that can seat only 22. (Past studies have revealed that onl
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

B. no, it is not low enough

A. no, it is not low enough

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Air-USA has a policy of booking as many as 24 persons on an airplane that can seat only 22.

Prob for  a random person booked arrive for flight = 0.86

No of persons who books and arrive for flight, X is binomial, since there are two outcomes and each person is independent of the other

The probability that if Air-USA books 24 persons, not enough seats will be available

= P(X=23)+P(x=24)

= 0.1315

B. no, it is not low enough

-------------------------------

The prob we got is >10% also

A. no, it is not low enough
