Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2l + 2w
= 2(12) + 2(18)
= 24 + 36 = 60
X^3 -2x^2 -35x
=x(x^2-2x-35)
=x(x-7)(x+5)
Answer:
- p=0.7103 (4-game series)
- p=0.6480 (2-game series)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the random variable equal the the first 4 straight wins. An overall win for the stronger team implies a negative binomial function with the parameters n=4, p=0.6:

#We find probabilities for the different values of i:

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning overall is:

#Define Y as the random variable for winning 2/3 games.:

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning in 2 out 3 game series is 0.6480
The stronger team has a higher chance of winning in a 4-game series(0.7103>0.6480)
