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

(x-1)2 + (y + 3)2 = 73<br> What is the center ?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

centre = (1, - 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

(x - 1)² + (y + 3)² = 73 ← is in standard form

with (h, k ) = (1, - 3 ) ← centre
