In a game, a participant is given three attempts to hit a ball. On each try, she either scores a hit, H, or a miss, M. The game

requires that the player must alternate which hand she uses in successive attempts. That is, if she makes her first attempt with her right hand, she must use her left hand for the second attempt and her right hand for the third. Her chance of scoring a hit with her right hand is 0.9 and with her left hand is 0.4. Assume that the results of successive attempts are independent and that she wins the game if she scores at least two hits in a row. If she makes her first attempt with her right hand, what is the probability that she wins the game?

Answer:

chancing for wining is 54%.

Step-by-step explanation:

possible outcomes can be given as

HHH *

HHM *

HMH

MHH *

HMM

MHM

MMH

MMM

Out of those, only 3 will have the participant win the game:

HHH, HHM, MHH.

Probability (HHH) + Probability (HHM) + Probability (MHH)

since attempts are independant.

Probability (HHH) = 0.9 *0.4 *0.9 = 0.324

Probability (HHM) = 0.9 *0.4 *0.3 = 0.108

Probability (MHH) = 0.3 *0.4 *0.9 = 0.108

Add them up and get  = (0.324+ 0.108+0.108) = 0.54

hence, chancing for wining is 54%.

Find all numbers whose absolute value is – 3.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

remember that |x|=x if x\geq0 and |x|=-x \; \text{ if } x\leq 0. This means that |x| always is a positive number.

Then, there are no numbers such that |x|=-3 because -3 is a negative number.

I wonder who can solve this ? 20×20÷5+100-50
quester [9]
Use PEMDAS

20 * 20/5 + 100 - 50

Multiply and divide first

20 * 20 = 400

400/5 = 80

Add 100 and then subtract 50

80 + 100 = 180

180 - 50 = 130

130 is the answer.
