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)
Answer:
x-15
Step-by-step explanation:
The number is 500. 500×7=3,500.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
One solution would be (1, -4), and the other would be (4, -7).
You can write two equations using the given information:
.. L = W +8
.. L * W = 609
Using substitution, you get a quadratic.
.. (W +8) * W = 609
.. W^2 +8W -609 = 0
Not surprisingly, you're looking for factors of 609 that differ by 8.
.. 609 = 1*609 = 3*203 = 7*87 = 21*29
The last two are the factors of interest.
.. (W +29)(W -21) = 0
The width of the rectangle is 21 feet, the length is 29 feet.
_____
Sometimes it is easier to work with the average dimension. Here, let that be x. Then you have
.. (x +4)(x -4) = 609
.. x^2 -16 = 609
.. x^2 = 625 = 25^2 . . . . . . . one of your memorized math facts
So, the dimensions are
.. 25 +4 = 29 by 25 -4 = 21, that is, 29 ft by 21 ft.
