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

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

Suppose you have rolled a six-sided die fifty times and recorded the result of each roll.
a_sh-v [17]

Using it's concept, it is found that the relative frequency  probability of rolling an even number based on this experiment is \frac{11}{25}.

A relative frequency is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem:

  • 50 dices are thrown, hence T = 50.
  • 22 resulted in an even number, hence D = 22

The <u>relative frequency</u> is given by:

f = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{22}{50} = \frac{11}{25}

If six people decide to come to a basketball game, but three of them are only 2/5 sure that they will stay for the entire time (
exis [7]

Answer:

the probability that at the end, at least 5 people stayed the entire time = 0.352

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 3 of the people are sure to stay the whole time. So, we'll deduct 3 from 6.which leaves us with 3 that are only 2/5 or 0.4 sure that they will stay the whole time.

Thus, what we need to compute to fulfill the probability that at the end, at least 5 people stayed the entire time of which we know 3 will stay, so for the remaining 3,we'll compute;

P[≥2] which is x~bin(3,0.4)

Thus;

P(≥2) = (C(3,2) x 0.4² x 0.6) + (C(3,3) x 0.4³)

P(≥2) = 0.288 + 0.064

P(≥2) = 0.352
