the formula for the probability that they lose their first 5 wagers is  0.60^5 and probability is  0.078 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , If a gambler makes repeated wagers, each with a probability of winning equal to 0.40 , We need to find what is  the formula for the probability that they lose their first 5 wagers . Let's find out:

According to question , Probability of winning is 0.40 , so for losing :

⇒ 1-0.40

⇒ 0.60

Now , Probability that they lose their first 5 wagers is given by :

⇒ 0.60(0.60)(0.60)(0.60)(0.60)

⇒ 0.60^5

⇒ 0.078

Therefore , the formula for the probability that they lose their first 5 wagers is  0.60^5 and probability is  0.078 .

The probability of losing first 5 wagers is (0.6)⁵

<u>Explanation:</u>

The probability of winning = 0.4

The probability of losing = 1 - 0.4

                                      = 0.6

Probability of losing their first 5 wagers = ?

Probability of losing first 5 wagers = (0.6)⁵

Therefore, the probability of losing first 5 wagers is (0.6)⁵

How do I solve this problem
guapka [62]
You first subtract 1/5 from both sides
3/4-1/5 = 11/20 
3/2x=11/20

now you multiply 2/3 on both sides since you have to get x

11/20 * 2/3 
x = 11/30
