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

11) -x + y = -1 ; 2x - y = 0
y = -1 + x ; 2x - (-1+x) = 0 ⇒ 2x + 1 - x = 0 ⇒x = -1 
y = -1 + (-1) ⇒ y = -2

12) -2x + y = -20 ; 2x + y = 48
y = -20 + 2x ; 2x + (-20 + 2x) = 48 ⇒ 2x -20 + 2x = 48 ⇒ 4x = 48 + 20
                      4x = 68 ⇒ x = 68/4 ⇒ x = 17
y = -20 + 2(17) ⇒ y = -20 + 34 ⇒ y = 14

13) 3x -y = -2 ; -2x + y = 3
y = 3 + 2x ; 3x - (3 + 2x) = -2 ⇒ 3x - 3 - 2x = -2 ⇒ x = -2 + 3 ⇒ x = 1
y = 3 + 2(1) ⇒ y = 3 + 2 ⇒ y = 5

14) x - y = 4 ; x - 2y = 10
x = 4 + y ; (4 + y) - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 + y - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 - y = 10 
                  ⇒ -y = 10 - 4 ⇒ -y = 6 ⇒  y = -6
x = 4 + (-6) ⇒ x = 4 - 6 ⇒ x = -2

15) x + 2y = 5 ; 3x + 2y = 17
x = 5 - 2y ; 3(5-2y) + 2y = 17 ⇒ 15 - 6y + 2y = 17 ⇒ -4y = 17 - 15
               ⇒ -4y = 2 ⇒ y = -2/4 ⇒ y = -1/2
x = 5 - 2(-1/2) ⇒ x = 5 + 2/2 ⇒ x = 5 + 1 ⇒ x = 6

estimate 0.037854921 to the nearest hundredth express your answer as a single digit times a power of 10
Vilka [71]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. Let's round the value to the nearest hundredth. As you can see, the digit 8 is in the thousandths place and is greater than 5, therefore, you must round up to 0.038.

2. Now express the value as a single digit times a power of 10, as following:

38x10^{-3}

Therefore, the answer is: 38x10^{-3}
