Answer:

Probability that A wins is 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

player A can win in 2 ways

1) Player A wins immediately by getting head

2) Player A loses immediately by getting tail but wins ultimately as player B gets losses.

a) Probability of 1 to happen is 1/2.

b) Similarly for the event 2 to happen the condition is that A get's a tail and B losses.

Let probability that A wins is 'p' thus we have

p=P(1)+P(2)\\\\p=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times (1-p)\\\\

Solving for 'p' we get

p= 2/3.

If t varies 1/s and t=2 when s=60 find the relationship between t and s, b, find the value of t when s=90 c, find s when t=2,1/2
suter [353]

Answer:

t = k \frac{1}{s}  \\ 2 = k. \frac{1}{60} \\ k = 120 \\ k \:  \: is \: constant \: of \: variation \\ relationship \: is  \\ t =  \frac{120}{s} . \\ when \: s \:  = 90 \\ t =  \frac{120}{90}  \\ t =  \frac{4}{3}  \\ when \: t = 2 \frac{1}{2}  \\ s =  \frac{120}{2 \frac{1}{2} }  \\ s = 48

Graph y = 3x - 3 and label the x- and y-intercepts. My answer: (0,3)
Lesechka [4]
The slope-intercept form of the linear function is y = m x + b , where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.
Here we have: y = 3 x - 3
a ) When y = 0
0 = 3 x - 3
- 3 x  = - 3
x = ( - 3 ) : ( - 3 ) 
x = 1
When x = 0
y = 3 * 0 - 3 
y = - 3
So x - intercept is ( 1, 0 ) and y-intercept is ( 0, - 3 ).
b ) The slope:
m = ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1 ) = 
= ( - 3 - 3 ) / ( 5- 7 ) = ( - 6 ) /( - 2 ) = 6 / 2 = 3
Answer: The slope m = 3 .

8. Mrs. Reyes has 4 mangoes, 5 guavas, and 2 bananas in her basket. What is the probability that one can pick a guava?
gregori [183]

8) 5 + 4 + 2 = 11

Since there are 5 guavas, the correct answer is B. 5/11

9) 3 + 4 = 7

Since there are 4 blue papers, the correct answer is A. 4/7

10) Count all of the numbers and add them. There are 4 twos, 2 fives, and 1 three:

4 + 2 + 1 = 7

Since there are 4 twos, the correct answer is C. 4/7
