Kim and Susan are playing a tennis match where the winner must win 2 sets in order to win the match.For each set the probability

that Kim wins is 0.64. The probability of Kim winning the set is not affected by who has won any previous sets.(a) What is the probability that Kim wins the match?(b) What is the probability that Kim wins the match in exactly 2 sets (i.e. only 2 sets are played and Kim is the one who ends up winning)?(c) What is the probability that 3 sets are played?

Answer:

a) the probability that Kim wins the match is 0.7046

b) the probability that Kim wins the match in exactly 2 sets is 0.4096

c) the probability that 3 sets are played is 0.4608

Step-by-step explanation:

a) <u>Kim's wins:</u>

P(Kim wins first two sets) =0.64×0.64=0.4096

P(Kim wins first set, Susan wins second set, Kim wins third set)=0.64×0.36×0.64≈0.1475

P(Susan wins first set, Kim wins second and third set)= 0.36×0.64×0.64≈0.1475

P(Kim wins)=0.4096+0.1475+0.1475=0.7046

b) <u>Kim wins the match in exactly 2 sets</u>

P(Kim wins first two sets) =0.64×0.64=0.4096

c) <u>3 sets are played</u>

P(Kim wins first set, Susan wins second set, Kim wins third set)=0.64×0.36×0.64≈0.1475

P(Susan wins first set, Kim wins second and third set)= 0.36×0.64×0.64≈0.1475

P(Kim wins first set, Susan wins second and third set)=0.64×0.36×0.36≈0.0829

P(Susan wins first set, Kim wins second set and Susan wins third set)=0.36×0.64×0.36≈0.0829

P(3 sets are played)=0.1475+0.1475+0.0829+0.0829=0.4608

Answer:

Hope this helps!!! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

#1: if there is buy 1 get 1 free, then buy 6 get 3 free. so 2.8 times 3 = $8.4

#2: 4 for $3. break it up to 1 for $0.75. now 0.75 times 6 = $4.5

#3: the second one. $4.5 < $8.4

#4: 45 times 12 = $54

"A 12-foot ladder is leaning against a building. If the bottom of the ladder is sliding along the pavement directly away from t

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has typographical errors. The correct question is:

"A 12-foot ladder is leaning against a building. If the bottom of the ladder is sliding along the pavement directly away from the building at 3 feet/second, how fast is the top of the ladder moving down when the foot of the ladder is 5 feet from the wall?

Solution:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the ground. The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse.

Let x represent the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground(opposite side)

Let y represent the distance from the foot of the ladder to the base of the wall(adjacent side)

The bottom of the ladder is sliding along the pavement directly away from the building at 3ft/sec. This means that y is increasing at the rate of 3ft/sec. Therefore,

dy/dt = 3 ft/s

The rate at which x is reducing would be

dx/dt

Applying Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side², it becomes

x² + y² = 12²- - - - - - - -1

Differentiating with respect to time, it becomes

2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt = 0

2xdx/dt = - 2ydy/dt

Dividing through by 2x, it becomes

dx/dt = - y/x ×dy/dt- - - - - - - - - - 2

Substituting y = 5 into equation 1, it becomes

x² + 5 = 144

x² = 144 - 25 = 119

x = √119 = 10.91

Substituting x = 10.91, dy/dt = 3 and y = 5 into equation 2, it becomes

dx/dt = - 5/10.91 × 3

dx/dt = - 1.37 ft/s

After a storm, two street lights with the same length are leaning against each

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

c = 4.79 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete without a picture; find the question with the attachment.

Two poles AD and DB of same length are leaning against each other.

Distance between the poles (AB) = 45 feet

m(∠ADB) = 180°- (60 + 50)°

= 70°

By sine rule,

$\frac{sin50}{AD}=\frac{sin70}{45}=\frac{sin60}{DB}$

$AD=\frac{45\times (sin50)}{sin70}$

= 36.68 ft

Similarly,

DB = $\frac{45\times sin60}{sin70}$

= 41.47 ft

Now c = DB - AD

= 41.47 - 36.68

= 4.79 feet

What’s the value of <br> tan (3arc cos 3/4)

Volgvan

<h2>Answer: -1.469</h2>

This trigonometric function can be written as:

$tan (3 cos^{-1} (\frac{3}{4}))$ (1)

Firstly, we have to solve the inner parenthesis:

$cos^{-1} (\frac{3}{4})= 41.409$ (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

$tan (3(41.409))=tan(124.228)$ (4)

Finally we obtain the value:

$tan(124.228)=-1.469$

Eight less than a number doubled is twenty more than the number. What is the number?

m_a_m_a [10]

Let the number be a .... =>Number doubled : 2a .. =>Eight less than the no. Doubled : 2a - 8 =>Eight less than the no. doubled is 20 more than the no. : 2a - 8 = 20 + a =>2a - 8 - 20 - a = 0 =>2a -a - 20 -8 = 0 =>a -28 = 0 =>a = 28 =>so the number is 28... Hope it helps!!!
