A true-false question is to be posed to a husband and wife team. Both the husband and the wife will give the correct answer with
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Choose either strategy both are equally successful

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The probability of success for both husband (H) and wife (W) are:

                              P ( W ) = 0.8 , P ( H ) = 0.8

Find:-

- Which of the following is a better strategy for the couple?

Solution:-

Strategy 1

- First note that P ( W ) & P ( H ) are independent from one another, i.e the probability of giving correct answer of husband does not influences that of wife's.

- This strategy poses an event such that either wife knows the answer and answer it correctly or the husband knows and answers in correctly.

- We will assume that probability of either the husband or wife knowing the answer is 0.5 and the two events of knowing and answering correctly are independent. So,

                           P ( Wk ) = P (Hk) = 0.5

- The event P(S1) is:

                           P(S1) = P ( Hk & H ) + P ( Wk & W )

                           P(S1) = 0.5*0.8 + 0.5*0.8

                           P(S1) = 0.8

- Hence, the probability of success for strategy 1 is = 0.8

Strategy 2

- Both agree , then the common answer is selected otherwise, one of their answers is chosen at random.

- The success of strategy 2, will occur when both agree and are correct, wife is correct and answers while husband is not or husband is correct and he answers.

- The event P(S2) is:

                   P(S2) = P ( H & W ) + P ( H / W' & Hk ) + P ( H' / W & Wk )

                   P(S2) = P ( H & W ) + P ( H / W') P ( Hk ) + P ( H' / W) P (Wk)

                   P(S2) = P ( H & W ) + P ( H / W')*0.5  + P ( H' / W)*0.5

                   P(S2) = 0.5* [ P ( H & W ) + P ( H / W') ]  + 0.5* [ P ( H' / W) + P ( H & W )]

                   P(S2) = 0.5*P(H) + 0.5*P(W)

                   P(S2) = 0.5*0.8 + 0.5*0.8

                   P(S2) = 0.8

- Hence, the probability of success for strategy 2 is = 0.8

Both strategy give us the same probability of success.

When the sum of \, 528 \, and three times a positive number is subtracted from the square of the number, the result is \, 120. F
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Let x be the unknown number. So, three times that number means 3x, and the square of the number is x^2

We have to sum 528 and three times the number, so we have 528+3x

Then, we have to subtract this number from x^2, so we have

x^2-(3x+528)

The result is 120, so the equation is

x^2 - 3x - 528 = 120 \iff x^2 - 3x - 648 = 0

This is a quadratic equation, i.e. an equation like ax^2+bx+c=0. These equation can be solved - assuming they have a solution - with the following formula

x_{1,2} = \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

If you plug the values from your equation, you have

x_{1,2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{9-4\cdot(-648)}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{9+2592}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm\sqrt{2601}}{2} = \dfrac{3\pm51}{2}

So, the two solutions would be

x = \dfrac{3+51}{2} = \dfrac{54}{2} = 27

x = \dfrac{3-51}{2} = \dfrac{-48}{2} = -24

But we know that x is positive, so we only accept the solution x = 27

How to approximate to 3 significant figures
kondaur [170]

Answer:

We round a number to three significant figures in the same way that we would round to three decimal places. We count from the first non-zero digit for three digits. We then round the last digit. We fill in any remaining places to the right of the decimal point with zeros.
