I don't believe you can. It would end up being 1/2 for all the terms so just leaving it as a fraction would be neater.

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of players = 3

number of times game is repeated = 4

P( any person wins a game ) = 1/3

P ( any person does not win a game ) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

P ( any person wins no game in 4 attempts ) = ( 2/3 )^4 = 16/81

<em>Note : each player has equal chance of winning </em>

<u>Find the probability that there is at least one person who wins no games </u>

lets represent the probability of each player not wining a game with alphabet A

A1 = player 1 wins no game

A2 = player 2 wins no game

A3 = players 3 wins no game

Applying the inclusion-exclusion formula

where

P( A1 ∩ A2 ) = P( A1 wins all games )

P ( A1 wins all games in 4 attempts ) = ( 1/3 )^4 = 1/81

P( A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 ) = P ( no players wins any game in 4 attempts ) = 0

Hence

P( A1 ∪ A2 U A3 ) = 16/81 + 16/81 + 16/81 - 1/81 - 1/81 - 1/81 - 0 = 5/9

The following table shows the first segment of a five-year amortization schedule.

ELEN [110]

After one year of payments, the amount need to be paid to interest is $1100.42 if the first segment of a five-year amortization schedule is a 5-year amortization schedule option (a) is correct.

<h3>What is a loan amortization schedule?</h3>

It is defined as the systematic way of representation of loan payments according to the time in which the principal amount and interest mentioned in a list manner.

We have a table given that showing a first segment of a five-year amortization schedule that has a 5-year amortization schedule and the amount of interest paid for months 1 through 12.

As the loan amount is not mentioned in the question, we are assuming the loan amount is $1184.6

Therefore, loan amount = $1184.6

The outstanding amount at the end of one year, which is 12 months, is shown in the table as $84.18

After one year of payments, the amount need to be paid to interest:

= Loan amount - Outstanding amount after 12 months

= 1184.6 - 84.18

= $1100.425

Thus, after one year of payments, the amount need to be paid to interest is $1100.42 if the first segment of a five-year amortization schedule is a 5-year amortization schedule option (a) is correct.
