Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information,

Considering both cases when p = 0.5 and when p ≠ 0.5

the probability that the gambler will quit an overall winner is:

P = \dfrac{1 - (\dfrac{1-p}{p} )^K}{1- (\dfrac{1-p}{p})^N } \ \ \  is \  p  \neq 0.5  \  and\  K/N = \dfrac{1}{2}

where ;

N.k = n  and k  = m

Hence, the probability changes to:

P = \dfrac{1 -(\dfrac{1-p}{p})^m}{1 -(\dfrac{1-p}{p})^{m+n}} is  p ≠ 0.5   and k/N = \dfrac{m}{m+n}  is P = 0.5

Find the values of and y the figure given below and choose the appropriate result ABC and XYZ
Yuri [45]

Answer:

y = 8

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the missing values using similarity ratio

15/30 = y/16 cross multiply expressions

30y = 240 divide both sides by 30

y = 8

Now do the same for x

15/30 = x/34 cross multiply expressions

30x = 510 divide both sides by 30

x = 17
