Answer:

A)The events "winning" and "playing at home" is independent.

b) The events "lossing" and "playing away" is independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent Events: Two events are dependent if the result of the second event depends on the result of the first events.

Dependent Events: Two events are independent if the result of the second event is not affected by the result of the first event.

a) The events "winning" and "playing at home" is independent because the result of the second event depends on the result of the first events.

b) The events "lossing" and "playing away" is independent because the result of the second event depends on the result of the first events.

Although the experimental probability shows that playing at home gives a certain edge, mathematically the events "winning" and playing at home are completely independent since the 2 events are not linked whatsoever.
Just take the example of flipping a dye. The probability of getting a Head = 1/2.
If after 1000 flips you get a head, the probability of getting a Head on the 1001 flips is always 1/2 (head & tail are independent)

Same reasoning for the 2nd question

Heidi has 6 pounds of tomatoes from her garden. She used 3/4 of all the tomatoes to make sauce and gave 2/3 of the rest of the t

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

She gives 16 ounces to her neighbor

Step-by-step explanation:

How much did you use to make sauce

6 * 3/4 = 18/4 =9/2 = 4.5 lbs

That leaves 6-4.5 = 1.5 lbs

She give 2/3 of this to her neighbor

1.5 * 2/3

Changing the decimal to a fraction

3/2 * 2/3 = 1

She gives 1 pound to her neighbor, but we want it in ounces

16 ounces equals 1 pound

She gives 16 ounces to her neighbor

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

P(Male = 2) = 63.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

40000C2 / 50000C2

[(40000 * 39999) / (1*2)] / [(50000 * 49999 *) / (1*2)]

3,199,920,000 / 4,999,900,000

0.6399996799935999

P(Male = 2) = 63.9%

Consider the probability that at least 93 out of 154 CDs will not be defective. Assume the probability that a given CD will not

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

0.5962

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

p = 61% = 0.61

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.61 = 0.39

n = 154 ; x = 93

Using the binomial probability formula :

P(x =x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)

P(x>=93) = p(x=93)+p(x=94)+...+p(x=n)

P(x>= 93) = 0.59619

P(x>= 93) = 0.5962

Bond [772]

Answer:

568

Explanation:

First you need to make an equation. You need to find the change, in this case it’s 1.25. After, you find that, you make your equation. A(n)=16(1.25)^n-1.
