Answer: Use Fractions and Multiplication.
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, you need to find 1/6 of 12. The easiest way to do this is to multiply 12/1 by 1/6. The answer is 12/6, which simplifies to 2. Then, you do the same for 2/3: 12/1*2/3=24/3, which simplifies to 8. You then add the results to figure out how much has been eaten. 8+2=10
1) 4.55
2) Short hit
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
The table containing the score and the relative probability of each score is:
Score 3 4 5 6 7
Probability 0.15 0.40 0.25 0.15 0.05
Here we call
X = Miguel's score on the Water Hole
The expected value of a certain variable X is given by:
where
are all the possible values that the variable X can take
is the probability that
Therefore in this problem, the expected value of MIguel's score is given by:
2)
In this problem, we call:
X = Miguel's score on the Water Hole
Here we have that:
- If the long hit is successfull, the expected value of X is
- Instead, if the long hit fails, the expected value of X is
Here we also know that the probability of a successfull long hit is
Which means that the probabilty of an unsuccessfull long hit is
Therefore, the expected value of X if Miguel chooses the long hit approach is:
In part 1) of the problem, we saw that the expected value for the short hit was instead
Since the expected value for X is lower (=better) for the short hit approach, we can say that the short hit approach is better.
