Answer:

Fast ball challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Slow Ball Challenge

$Pitches = 7$

$P(Hit) = 80\%$

$Win = \$60$

$Lost = \$10$

Fast Ball Challenge

$Pitches = 3$

$P(Hit) = 70\%$

$Win = \$60$

$Lost = \$10$

Required

Which should he choose?

To do this, we simply calculate the expected earnings of both.

Considering the slow ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 7 pitches

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

Where

$n = 7$ --- pitches

$x = 7$ --- all hits

$p = 80\% = 0.80$ --- probability of hit

So, we have:

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

$P(7) =^7C_7 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^{7 - 7}$

$P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^0$

$P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * 0.20^0$

Using a calculator:

$P(7) =0.2097152$ --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

$P(Win) =0.2097152$

The probability that he lose is:

$P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)$ ---- Complement rule

$P(Lose) = 1 -0.2097152$

$P(Lose) = 0.7902848$

The expected value is then calculated as:

$Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose$

$Expected = 0.2097152 * \$60 + 0.7902848 * \$10$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Expected = \$20.48576$

Considering the fast ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 3 pitches

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

Where

$n = 3$ --- pitches

$x = 3$ --- all hits

$p = 70\% = 0.70$ --- probability of hit

So, we have:

$P(3) =^3C_3 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^{3 - 3}$

$P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^0$

$P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * 0.30^0$

Using a calculator:

$P(3) =0.343$ --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

$P(Win) =0.343$

The probability that he lose is:

$P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)$ ---- Complement rule

$P(Lose) = 1 - 0.343$

$P(Lose) = 0.657$

The expected value is then calculated as:

$Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose$

$Expected = 0.343 * \$60 + 0.657 * \$10$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Expected = \$27.15$

So, we have:

$Expected = \$20.48576$ -- Slow ball

$Expected = \$27.15$ --- Fast ball

<em>The expected earnings of the fast ball challenge is greater than that of the slow ball. Hence, he should choose the fast ball challenge.</em>

Let f(x)equals=33xminus−1, h(x)equals=startfraction 7 over x plus 5 endfraction 7 x+5 . find (hcircle◦f)(66).

Ronch [10]

$\bf \begin{cases}
f(x)=3x-1\\
h(x)=\cfrac{7}{x+5}\\\\
(h\circ f)(x)=h(~~f(x)~~)
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
f(66)=3(66)-1\implies \boxed{f(66)=197}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{h(~~f(x)~~)}{h(~~f(66)~~)}\implies \stackrel{h(~~f(66)~~)}{h\left(~~\boxed{197}~~ \right)}=\cfrac{7}{\boxed{197}+5}\implies h\left(~~\boxed{197}~~ \right)=\cfrac{7}{202}$

Teri went shopping with $300. Her Christmas shopping list is: 5 barbies for $10.50 each,, earbuds for $45, 3 sweaters for $22 ea

Romashka [77]

5 times 10.50 = $52.5

An additional $45

3 times 22 = $66

An other additional $65

The total price her shopping list costs is 229.5

Now, $300 - $229.5 = $70.5

Teri will have $70.50 left after buying these items.
