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.

Find sec 0<br><br>is my answer correct? if not what's the right answer ​
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Option(1)

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying secant rule in the given right triangle,

secθ = \frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Adjacent side}}

From the picture attached,

Opposite side of angle θ = 5 units

By applying Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

                        = (10)² + 5²

                        = 125

Hypotenuse = √125

                     = 5√5

Now substitute these values in the expression of secθ,

secθ = \frac{5\sqrt{5}}{5}

secθ = √5

Option (1) is the correct option.

Elden [556K]
<span>The limitation of algebra that leads development of calculus is that it can make a complex number of variables present it as a single variable and then apply the necessary formula needed to find the answer. After manipulation, the presented single variable can be changed back to a complex variable by substitution</span>

The amount of a persons paycheck p varies directly with the numbers of hours worked t. for 25 hours of work, the paycheck is $31
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

p = t * 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the relationship between hours of work and the pay, I divided the total paycheck given by the 25 hours of work, which got me what a 25th of that paycheck would be, which represents what you would earn in an hour with a flat rate.

312.50 / 25 = 12.5

Check:

12.5 * 25 (hours of work) = 312.50 (Given total paycheck)

That's how we know the pay per hour, which is the relationship between t and p.
