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%.

mylen [45]

Correct Question:

Tim is investigating the relationship between the number of years since a tree was planted and the height of the tree in feet. His data are shown in the table. Years Since Tree was Planted vs. Height of Tree

Years since the tree was planted, x

Height of tree in feet, y

2, 17, 3, 25, 5, 42, 6, 47, 7, 54, 9, 69

Using a regression calculator, what is a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old?

Answer/explanation:

There is no good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old. If you analyze careful in details the regression calculator you realize that it probably will not valid that far in to the future say 100 years.
