Question:

Eric and Joshua are playing ping pong and pool. Joshua believes he has a good chance of beating Eric in at least one of the games. The probability Joshua beats Eric in ping pong is 0.48. The probability Joshua beats Eric in pool is 0.46. Joshua is willing to assume the probability of Eric winning a game of ping pong is independent of him winning a game of pool.

Find the probability:

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool?

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool?

Answer:

P(pp & pool) = 22%

There is 22% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool.

P(pp OR pool) = 50%

There is 50% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability Joshua beats Eric in ping pong is given by

P(pp) = 0.48

The probability Joshua beats Eric in pool is given by

P(pool) = 0.46

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool is given by

P(pp & pool) = P(pp)×P(pool)

P(pp & pool) = 0.48×0.46

P(pp & pool) = 0.22

P(pp & pool) = 22%

Therefore, there is 22% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong AND pool.

The probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool is given by

P(pp OR pool) = P(pp)×0.52 + P(pool)×0.54

Where 0.52 is the probability that Eric beats Joshua in the ping pong match (1 - 0.48 = 0.52)

Where 0.54 is the probability that Eric beats Joshua in the pool match (1 - 0.46 = 0.54)

P(pp OR pool) = 0.48×0.52 + 0.46×0.54

P(pp OR pool) = 0.25 + 0.25

P(pp OR pool) = 0.50

P(pp OR pool) = 50%

Therefore, there is 50% probability that Joshua beats Eric in ping pong OR pool.

Walt is mixing fruit punch for a party. He combines 1 gallon 2 quarts 3 pints of orange juice 1 gallon 3 quarts 7 pints of pinea
Vlad [161]
So he's mixing: 

1 gallon 2 quarts 3 pints of orange juice
1 gallon 3 quarts 7 pints of pineapple juice and
1 gallon 3 <span> quarts 3 pints of ginger ale

that's:

3 gallons 8 quarts and 13 pints.

2 pints make a quart, so 13 pints make 6 quarts and 1 pint, so actually it's:

</span><span>3 gallons 8+6=14 quarts and 1 pint.
4 quarts are a gallon, and 14 quarts are 3 gallons 2 quarts, so the final answer is:

</span>
<span>3+3=6 gallons 2 quarts and 1 pint. </span>

6.371 in lowest terms
kozerog [31]
Well you would have to round this 5 and above goes up. Since 1 is lower than 5 that would leave you at 6.37. 7 rounds up so that would change to 6.4. Lastly 4 would round down, So that would leave you with 6. Now 6 is the simplest form but if your looking for rounded to the nearest tenth the answer would be 6.4. If your looking for rounded to the nearest 100th place 6.37. But over all simplest form is 6.

Find inverse of f(x) = 2 + 3x / x - 2
NeX [460]
Okay so, we switch out f(x) with y - I’m sure you know this and we get y=2+3x/x-2.

Now just interchange x and y -> x=2+3y/y-2, now multiply both sides with (y-2), we get (y-2)x=2+3y.

Multiply x with the brackets, getting xy-2x=2+3y. Move 3y to the left changing it’s sign, also for -2x to the right: xy-3y=2+2x.

Factor out y from (xy-3y) and get (3-x)y=2+2x - now divide both sides by (3-x) resulting in y=2+2x/3-x .

What is 1/10 of 200
gladu [14]
1/10x200
= 1/10x200/1
= 200/10
=20

the answer is 20

if u dont understand, 1/10 means a part of 200 that is divided by 10 which means the number x10 =200. So if u dont understand, you can check answer this way: n*10=200

200/10=n
n= 20
