In a certain soccer tournament you play 6 games. In every match you get 3 points if you win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points if
Ann [662]

Answer:

0.430625 = 0.431

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent winning, D represent a draw and L represent a loss.

12+ points can be garnered in each of the following ways.

6W 0D 0L

5W 1D 0L

5W 0D 1L

4W 2D 0L

4W 1D 1L

4W 0D 2L

3W 3D 0L

The probability of getting 12+ points is the sum of all these 7 probabilities.

Knowing that P(W) = 0.5

P(D) = 0.1

P(L) = 0.4

P(6W 0D 0L) = [6!/(6!0!0!)] 0.5⁶ 0.1⁰ 0.4⁰ = 0.015625

P(5W 1D 0L) = [6!/(5!1!0!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1¹ 0.4⁰ = 0.01875

P(5W 0D 1L) = [6!/(5!0!1!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1⁰ 0.4¹ = 0.075

P(4W 2D 0L) = [6!/(4!2!0!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1² 0.4⁰ = 0.09375

P(4W 1D 1L) = [6!/(4!1!1!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1¹ 0.4¹ = 0.075

P(4W 0D 2L) = [6!/(4!0!2!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1⁰ 0.4² = 0.15

P(3W 3D 0L) = [6!/(3!3!0!)] 0.5³ 0.1³ 0.4⁰ = 0.0025

The probability of getting 12+ points = 0.015625 + 0.01875 + 0.075 + 0.09375 + 0.075 + 0.15 + 0.0025 = 0.430625

juin [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1725 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

Here, the bases are given as 65 ft and 50 ft, and the height is 30 ft. Then the area is ...

  A = 1/2(65 ft +50 ft)(30 ft) = (1/2)(115 ft)(30 ft) = 1725 ft²

You tell the salesman your lawn area is 1725 square feet.

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
Anna35 [415]
<span>To write an equation in slope-intercept form, given a graph of that equation, pick two points on the line and use them to find the slope. This is the value of m in the equation. Next, find the coordinates of the y -intercept--this should be of the form (0, b) . ... Therefore, the equation for this line is y = - x + 2 .</span>
