Answer:

The different winning scores possible are 25 (from 28 to 52).

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The minimum score obtained by a player will be 28.

since, we divide 1-7 numbered to one and 8-14 to the other player such that    one receives the maximum and the other receives the minimum.

 the least minimum possibility is :28 as one get the card as(1,2,3,4,5,6,7).

while the other player gets 77 sum and loses.

  • for increasing this score now we give the number 1,2,3,4,5,6,8 to one of the player so that they sum upto 29 and will get the minimum score and wins while the other player gets 76 sum with the help of numbers{9,10,11,12,13,14,7} and loses.
  •    next possible minimum sum to win will be 30 by assigning 1,2,3,4,5,6,9 whereas the other gets the sum 75 and loses.
  • continuing in the same way we see that the minimum sum obtained to win will be 52( by assigning 2,3,6,7,9,12,13) while the other gets the sum 53 and loses.

    Hence, there are total 25 winning scores possible.  (from 28 to 52 i.e. 52-28=25).

Can you please help me I’ll pay you £100

Answer:

The new points to the triangle will be:

A(-6, 6)\\B(-6, 3)\\C(-8, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the reflection point is at x = -1, all x values will subtract their distances from x = -1 to get their new values. The y values remain the same.

The starting values are:

A(4,6)\\B(4,3)\\C(6,3)

Point A is 5 units away from x = -1, so we'll subtract 5 from -1 to get the new x value: -1 - 5 = -6, so A(-6, 6).

Point B is also 5 unit away from x = -1, so we'll subtract 5 from -1 to get the new x value: -1 - 5 = -6, so B(-6, 3).

Point C is 7 units away from x = -1, so we'll subtract 7 from -1 to get the new x value: -1 - 7 = -8, so C(-8, 3).

2. What is the sample proportion of heads in your sample of 40? Report this value to your teacher.
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

\frac{18}{40}=0.45

Though it may vary, it's going closer to 0.5 as long as we enlarge our sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since a coin has heads and tails, then a sample proportion of 40 we can simulate it using some applets.

2) Here are the most common outcomes, as long as we continue on flipping coins.

\frac{18}{40}=0.45

If we continue enlarging our sample (80, 120,160...) the probability goes closer to 0.5

This shows: the theoretical probability goes closer and closer to the experimental probability of heads and tails

S_{80}=0.503\\S_{120}=0.50
