A piñata is a container filled with candy and is broke by hitting it with a stick. The probability that Amanda will break a piña

ta on her first his is 0.58. She will continue to hit the piñata until it breaks. If she does not break the piñata on a particular hit, the piñata is weakened and the probability that she will break it on the next hit is 0.14 greater than the probability on the previous hit. For example, if the piñata does not break on the first hit, the probability that it will break on the second hit is 0.72 (found by 0.58 + 0.14 = 0.72). Calculate the probability that Amanda does not break the piñata on the first hit and does break the piñata on the second hit

Answer:

0.3024

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Probability of breaking pinata on first hit = 0.58;

P(first hit break) = 0.58

P(does not break on first hit) = 1 - p(first hit break) = 1 - 0.58 = 0.42

P(2nd hit break) = p(first hit break) + 0.14 = 0.58 + 0.14 = 0.72

Hence, Calculate the probability that Amanda does not break the piñata on the first hit and does break the piñata on the second hit

P(does not break on first hit) * p(2nd hit break)

0.42 * 0.72 = 0.3024

Joe’s annual income has been increasing each year by the same dollar amount the first year his income was 19,500. 8 years later
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The question is either poorly constructed or it is a trick question. We do not know "In what year was his income 30,300" because the years correlating to his income are not disclosed.  Even assuming the question was meant to be posed as "how many years later was his income 30,300" it is still flawed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrive at Joe's annual income increase, first subtract 19,500 from 27,900 to get 8400, which is his overall increase over the 8 years. Now divide 8400 by 8. You will get 1050.  Beginning with his income of 27,900, add 1,050 to each successive income amount and you will get the following progression:

27,900, 28,950, 30,000, 31,050, 32,100, 33,150, 34,200, 35,250, 36,300.

Therefore, two years after his income was 27,900 it would be 30,000 and 6 years after that it would be 36,300.  It would  never be 30,300.

Points Y and Z are the same distance from point X on a number line. The coordinate of point X is –7 and the coordinate of point
Mars2501 [29]
Since you know that point Y and point Z are equal distance form point F, you will need to know the distance between point Y, -1, and the distance between point X, -7. So, the total distance, after subtracting -1 from -7, is -6.  So, you will then subtract another -6 from -7, to get -13, which is the coordinate of point Z.
