. Imagine a game of 3 players where exactly one player wins in the end and all players have equal chances of being the winner. T

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of players = 3

number of times game is repeated = 4

P( any person wins a game ) = 1/3

P ( any person does not win a game ) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

P ( any person wins no game in 4 attempts ) = ( 2/3 )^4 = 16/81

Note : each player has equal chance of winning

Find the probability that there is at least one person who wins no games

lets represent the probability of each player not wining a game with alphabet A

A1 = player 1 wins no game

A2 = player 2 wins no game

A3 = players 3 wins no game

Applying the inclusion-exclusion formula

P( A1 ∪ A2 U A3 ) = P(A1 ) + P(A2) + P(A3) - P( A1 ∩ A2 ) - P( A2 ∩ A3 ) - P( A1 ∩ A3 ) + P( A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 )

where

P( A1 ∩ A2 ) = P( A1 wins all games )

P ( A1 wins all games in 4 attempts ) = ( 1/3 )^4 = 1/81

P( A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 ) = P ( no players wins any game in 4 attempts ) = 0

Hence

P( A1 ∪ A2 U A3 ) = 16/81 + 16/81 + 16/81 - 1/81 - 1/81 - 1/81 - 0 = 5/9

What is the exact volume of the cone? with a 5 ft radius and a 16 ft height

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The volume is 418.93 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the volume of a cone

Mathematically, we use the formula;

V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

r = 5 ft

h = 16 ft

Substituting these values;

V = 1/3 * 3.142 * 5^2 * 16

V = 418.93 ft^3

A math instructor assigns a group project in each of the scenarios below, the instructor selects 5 consecutive students from thi

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Complete question:

Consider a class of 20 students consisting of 5 sophomores, 8 juniors, and 7 seniors. A math instructor assigns a group project in each of the scenarios below, the instructor selects 5 consecutive students from this class, keeping track (in order) of the level of the student that he gets.

1a. How many possible outcomes are in the sample space S? (An outcome is a 5- tuple of students.)

Let A2 denote the event that exactly 2 of the selected students are sophomore, A5 denote the event that exactly 5 of the selected students are the juniors, and A4 denote the event that exactly 4 of the selected students are seniors.

1b. Find the probabilities of each of these three events. A2, A5, A4

1c. Do the events A2, A5, A4 constitute a partition of the sample space?

Answer:

Given:

n = 20

a) The possible outcome in the sample space,S, =

ⁿCₓ = ²⁰C₅

$= \frac{20!}{(20-5)! 5!)}$
