Answer:

$HY=\sqrt{5}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The triangle HPY is a right triangle (because the angle ∠HYP is a right angle)

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$HP^2=HY^2+PY^2$

substitute the given values

$3^2=HY^2+2^2$

Solve for HY

$9=HY^2+4$

$HY^2=9-4$

$HY^2=5$

$HY=\sqrt{5}\ units$

Darya [45]

Answer:

(a)Charlie is right

(b)$0

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)A game is said to be a fair game when the probability of winning is equal to the probability of losing. Mathematically, a game is said to be fair when the expected value is zero.

In the game, the possible outcomes are: HH, HT, TH and TT.

Charlie wins when the outcome is HH, TT

P(Charlie Wins)=2/4
P(Charlie Losses)=2/4

Lucy wins when the outcome is HT or TH

P(Lucy Wins)=2/4
P(Lucy Losses)=2/4

Therefore, the game is fair. Charlie is right.

(b)

If the outcome is HH, Lucy pays $3.

If the outcome is HT or TH, Lucy gets $2.

If the outcome is TT, Lucy pays $1.

The probability distribution of Lucy's profit is given below:

$\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c|c}$Profit(x)&-\$3&-\$1&\$2\\P(x)&1/4&1/4&2/4\end{array}\right|$

Expected Profit

$=(-3 \times \frac14)+(-1\times \frac14)+(2 \times \frac24)\\=$0$

Lucy's expected profit from the game is $0.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

9/4 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

A poster is a rectangle.

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Given:

Area = 3/4 yd

Length = 1/3 yd

Substitute the given values to the equation.

3/4 = 1/3 × w

3/4 = 1/3w

3/4 ÷ 1/3 = w

3/4 × 3/1 = w

9/4 = w
