A roulette wheel has 38 slots, 18 are red, 18 are black, and 2 are green.You play five games and always bet on red. a) How many

games can you expect to win? b) What is the probability that you will win all five games? c) If you win three or more games, you make a profit. If you win two or fewer games, you lose money. What is the probability that you will win no more than two games?

Answer:

a) 2.35 games.

b) Therefore, the probability is P=0.0229.

c) Therefore, the probability is P=0.71.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a roulette wheel has 38 slots, 18 are red, 18 are black, and 2 are green.You play five games and always bet on red.

Therefore, we have

$p=\frac{18}{38}=0.47\\\\q=\frac{20}{38}=0.53\\$

a) We can you expect to win 5·0.47= 2.35 games.

b) We calculate the probability that you will win all five games.

$P=C_5^5\cdot p^5\cdot q^0\\\\P=1\cdot 0.47^5 \cdot 0.53^0\\\\P=0.0229$

Therefore, the probability is P=0.0229.

c) We calculate the probability that you will win three or more games.

$P=1-C_2^5\cdot 0.47^3\cdot 0.53^2\\\\P=1-10\cdot 0.47^3\cdot 0.53^2\\\\P=1-0.29\\\\P=0.71$

Therefore, the probability is P=0.71.

(sqrt3-sqrt3i)^4

The increasing order of the complex numbers is (√2 - i)⁶ < (√2 - √2i)⁸ = (√3 - i)⁶ = (-1 + √3i)¹² < (√3 - √3i)⁴.

<h3>Absolute values of the complex numbers</h3>

The absolute values of the complex numbers are determined as follows;

(sqrt3-sqrt3i)^4 = (√3 - √3i)⁴

$|z| = \sqrt{(\sqrt{3} )^2 + (\sqrt{3 }\times1 )^2} } \\\\|z| = \sqrt{6}$

(-1+sqrt3i)^12 = (-1 + √3i)¹²

$|z| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (\sqrt{3)^2} } \\\\|z| = \sqrt{4} \\\\|z| = 2$

(sqrt 3-i)^6 = (√3 - i)⁶

$|z| = \sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2 + (-1)^2 } \\\\|z| = \sqrt{4} \\\\|z| = 2$

(sqrt2-sqrt2i)^8 = (√2 - √2i)⁸

$|z| = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2} )^2 + (\sqrt{2})^2 } \\\\|z| = 2$

(sqrt2-i)^6 = (√2 - i)⁶

$|z| = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2})^2 + (-1)^2} } \\\\|z| = \sqrt{3}$

Increasing order of the complex numbers;

(√2 - i)⁶ < (√2 - √2i)⁸ = (√3 - i)⁶ = (-1 + √3i)¹² < (√3 - √3i)⁴.

A particle travels along the x-axis such that its velocity is given by v(t) = (t^0.7 + 4t) cos (t^2). What is the average accele

Airida [17]

It's not clear to me what the given interval is supposed to be, so I'll use a generic one, [a, b] with a < b.

The average acceleration of the particle over this interval is given by the average rate of change of v(t),

$a_{\rm ave} = \dfrac{v(b) - v(a)}{b - a} = \boxed{\dfrac{(b^{0.7}+4b)\cos(b^2) - (a^{0.7}+4a)\cos(a^2)}{b - a}}$

Angela enjoys swimming and often swims at a steady pace to burn calories. At this pace, Angela can swim 1,700 meters in 40 minut

KATRIN_1 [288]

Well, if you are talking how much she can swim per minute, you have to divide 1700 by 40 to get the unit per minute, 1700 being the meters she can swim, and 40 are the minutes she takes to swim. So, 1700 divided by 40 would be 42.5 meters per minute. So Angela's unit is 42.5 meters per minute. YOU'RE WELCOME :D
