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%.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

41

Step-by-step explanation:

Matrix Multiplication follows a row-column format. In order to compute this, you must be familiar with vector dot products.

With that in mind, lets get straight into it.

The order that matrix multiplication follows means that the terms in the result are filled in left to right, then top to bottom.

Therefore, a21 will be the 3 value that is computed. This is important becuase this allows to directly compute a21, instead of using up a lot of time computing all the values before.

As a21 is located in the bottom row 1st column, we take the dot product of the 2nd row in matrix 1 and the 1 column in matrix two.

So we have:

(7 2) dot (5 3) = 7*5 + 2*3 = 41
