Answer:

a) 0.3246

b) 0.0043

Step-by-step explanation:

  • For player 1 ; Probability of winning = P(W) = 1/3
  • Probability of loosing; P(winning) + P( Loosing) = 1
  • P(L) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

a) To find Find P(N <= 10) = P(2)+P(3)+P(4)+P(5)+P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)

= (1/3)^2 + (1/3)^2 x 2/3 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^2 + (1/3)^2x (2/3)^3 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^4

X (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^5 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^6 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^7 + (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^8

= 0.3246

b) Find P(N = 10) = (1/3)^2 x (2/3)^8 = 0.0043

If f(3)=2x^3 -2 , what is the value of f(2)
iris [78.8K]

I'm not sure about this but will give it a try:

Let f(n) = 2xⁿ - 2

Then f(3) = 2x³ - 2

So, f(2) = 2x² - 2

vfiekz [6]
<span>At a corner gas station, the revenue R varies directly with the number g of gallons of gasoline sold. If the revenue is $44.50 when the number of gallons sold is 10, find a linear equation that relates revenue R to the number g of gallons of gasoline. Then find the revenue R when the number of gallons of gasoline sold is 15.5.

Solution:
As the question mentioned the direct relationship between the quantities, hence 
10 gallons of gasoline sold =  $44.50
15.5 gallons of gasoline sold = $x
by cross multiplication, we get that
10x = 15.5 * 44.50
which implies that
x = 68.975
Thus by $</span>68.975 revenue is obtained by selling 15.5 gallons of gasoline.
