A person playing a game of chance has a 0.25 probability of winning. If the person plays the game 20 times and wins half of that

number of times, what is the difference between the theoretical probability and the experimental probability of that person winning ?

The theoretical probability is what is expected to happen which is 0.25 or 25%. The experimental probability is the actual or observed during the play. Since the person won half of 20 games, the experimental probability is 10/20 or 50%.

The difference between the theoretical and experimental probability is then

50%-25%=25% or 0.25

We note that the experimental probability is higher than the theoretical. However, as more games are played, the fraction of games won becomes closer and closer to the theoretical probability.

A car traveled 330 miles during a 5½ hour period. If the speed at which the car traveled can be represented in the equation d=rt
Alina [70]

Answer:

The car was travelling at a speed of 60 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance traveled = 330 miles

Time Period = 5 \frac12\ hr

we need to find the speed of the car .

Solution:

Time Period = 5 \frac12\ hr

Now we can say that;

\frac12\ hr =0.5\ hr

So Time period = 5+0.5 =5.5\ hr

Now we know that;

Distance traveled (d) is equal to Speed (r) multiplied by Time Period (t).

framing in equation form we get;

d=rt\\\\330 =r\times 5.5

Dividing both side by 5.5 we get;

\frac{330}{5.5}=\frac{5.5r}{5.5}\\\\r = 60\ mi/hr

Hence The car was travelling at a speed of 60 miles per hour.

A gift shop sells 140 wind chimes per month at $90 each. The owners estimate that for each $5 increase in price, they will sell
guapka [62]

Answer: $95

Step-by-step explanation:

Te new price will be 90 + 5x, if the price increases "x" times

The number of wind chimes sold per month will become 140 - 7x

\begin{aligned}&\text {Revenue, } \mathrm{R}(\mathrm{x})=(90+5 \mathrm{x})(140-7 \mathrm{x}) \\&R^{\prime}(x)=5(140-7 x)-7(90+5 x) \\&R^{\prime}(x)=700-35 x-630-35 x \\&R^{\prime}(x)=70-70 x=0 \\&70 x=70 \\&x=1\end{aligned}

Therefore, if the price becomes (90 + 5(1)) = $95 per wind chime, then the revenue will be maximum
