Alice and Bob are playing a game. Alice starts first. On Alice's turn, she flips a coin. If she gets a heads, she wins. If not,

it becomes Bob's turn. On Bob's turn, he flips a coin. If he gets a tails, he wins. If not, it becomes Alice's turn. What is the probability that Alice wins the game?

Answer:

The probability that Alice wins the game=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Alice and Bob are playing a game .

We have to find the probability that Alice wins the game .

If Alice win when she gets head and lose when she gets tail.Bob wins when she gets tail and she lose when she gets head.

Total results in a coin=Head, tail=2

Number of head in a coin=1

Number of tail in a coin= 1

Probability is defined as the possibility of an event that occurred

P(E)=\frac{Number\;of\;favourable\;cases}{total\;of\;cases}

The probability that Alice wins the game=\frac{Number\;of\;favourable\;cases}{Total\;number\;of\;cases}

The probability that Alice wins the game=\frac{number \;of \;heads}{Total\; results}

The probability that Alice wins the game=\frac{1}{2}

What could explain what happened when the time was equal to 120 minutes
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Lets split the given graph in three parts.

First part: 0 to 30 minutes

We can see between this period, 0 to 30 minutes, the distance from home keeps increasing. It means from 0 to 30 minutes, Eli is moving towards the library.

Second part: 30 to 120 minutes

between 30 to 120 minutes,the distance from home does not changes. It means during this period, Eli is at the library.

Third part : 120 minutes to 135 minutes

Between 120 to 135 minutes, the distance from home is decreasing.

It means Eli is returning home in that period.

It means, at 120minute, Eli started her bicycle , home from the library. Hence option (b)     :    Answer

Hope it will help :)

A chemical company mixes pure water with their premium antifreeze solution to create an inexpensive antifreeze mixture. The prem
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

  • premium: 165 gallons
  • water: 120 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the amount of 95% antifreeze in the mix. Then the amount of water is (285 -a). The mix has this amount of antifreeze in it:

  0.95a +0(285 -a) = 0.55(285)

  a = 0.55/0.95(285) = 165 . . . gallons of 95%

  285 -a = 285 -165 = 120 . . . . gallons of water

There are 120 gallons of water and 165 gallons of premium antifreeze in the mixture.

A random sample of 200 voters in a town is selected, and 114 are found to support an annexa- tion suit. Find the 96% confidence
EastWind [94]

Answer:

a) 96% CI: 0.51\leq\pi\leq 0.63

b) If we estimate that the fraction of voters is 0.57, we can claim with 96% confidence that the error is equal or less than 0.06 from the estimated proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of the sample is

p=\frac{114}{200}=0.57

The standard deviation of the sample proportion is

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.57(1-0.57)}{200} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.2451}{200} } =0.035

For a 96% CI, the z-value is z=1.751.

Then, the 96% CI can be written as:

p-z\cdot \sigma\leq\pi\leq p+z\cdot \sigma\\\\0.57-1.751*0.035\leq\pi\leq 0.57+1.751*0.035\\\\0.57-0.06\leq\pi\leq 0.57+0.06\\\\0.51\leq\pi\leq 0.63

b) If we estimate that the fraction of voters is 0.57, we can claim with 96% confidence that the error is equal or less than 0.06 from the estimated proportion.

What is the equation of the line that goes through (-5,0) and (-4,4)
Tasya [4]

Answer:

y=4x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation, use the slope-intercept equation:

y=mx+b

M is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First, find the slope by using the slope formula for when you have two points:

\frac{y(2)-y(1)}{x(2)-x(1)}=\frac{rise}{run}

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Substitute values:

(-5,0)(-4,4)\\(-5(x1),0(y1))\\(-4(x2),4(y2))\\\\\frac{4-0}{-4-(-5)}

Simplify parentheses (two negatives make a positive) and simplify:

\frac{4-0}{-4+5}\\\\\frac{4}{1}=4

The slope, m, is 4. Insert this information into the equation:

y=4x+b

Now, take one of the points and insert into the slope-intercept formula:

(-5,0)\\(-5(x),0(y))\\\\0=4(-5)+b

Solve for b, the y-intercept. Simplify multiplication:

0=-20+b

Add 20 to both sides and simplify:

0+20=-20+20+b\\20=b\\b=20

The y-intercept, b, is 20. Insert this value into the equation:

y=4x+20

Done.
