Answer:

(a) 1.6197

(b) 1.3803

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let X denote the number of games the Reds win. If Reds win exactly one it means that in the other two games Reds lost i.e Cubs won. Now,  the probability of the Reds losing is determined by 1 -\text{probability of winning} = 1-0.54 = 0.46. So, if X wins exactly i times, then we should multiply the probabilities associated with

P(X=0) = \binom{3}{0} \times 0.46 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.0973

P(X=1) = \binom{3}{1} 0.54 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.3429

P(X=2) = \binom{3}{2} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.46 = 0.4023

P(X=3) = \binom{3}{3} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.54 = 0.1574

Now,

E(X) = \sum_{i=0}^{3} i \times P(X=i) = 1.6197

(b) Let Y denote the number of games won by Cubs. Then by the similar logic as above,

P(Y=3) = \binom{3}{0} 0.46 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.0973

P(Y=2) = \binom{3}{1} 0.54 \times 0.46 \times 0.46 = 0.3429

P(Y=1) = \binom{3}{2} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.46 = 0.4023

P(Y=0) = \binom{3}{3} 0.54 \times 0.54 \times 0.54 = 0.1574

Now

E(Y) = \sum_{j=0}^{3} j \times P(Y=j) = 1.3803

Part A: Describe how you can decompose this shape into triangles. (2 points)
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

A: 6 triangles with height 10.4 inches each and base 12 inche

B: 62.4 square inches

C: 374.4 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: You can form a triangle by connecting E to the top of the segment and connecting the top of the segment to D. Recreating this with each section will create 6 triangles with height 10.4 inches each and base 12 inches.

Part B: The area of a triangle is A = 1/2b*h. Substitute h = 10.4 and b = 12.

A = 1/2*10.4*12 = 62.4

Part C: There are 6 triangles each with area 62.4. So the area of the whole figure will be 6*62.4 = 374.4.

20 - 12 = 8

-4x = 8

-4/4 = 8/-4

x = -2

New inequality: x <u>></u> -2
