To begin with, equivalent fractions represent the same part of a whole number. So I need to find a fraction, with a denominator of 20, that is the same value as 1/2:
1/2 = ?/20
1*10/2*10 = 10/20
Since the denominator needed to be 20, I multiplied the numerator and the denominator (1/2) by 10 to get 10/20. So, 1/2 and 10/20 are equivalent.
Answer:
If it is less than 3, Player 1 earns 3 points.
If not, Player 2 earns 2 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Player 1</u> :
p(N < 3) = p(N = 1 or N = 2) = 2/5
<u>Player 2</u> :
p(N ≥ 3) = p(N = 3 or N = 4 or N = 5) = 3/5
<u>We notice that</u> :
p(N < 3) × 3 = (2/5) × 3 = 6/5
On the other hand,
p(N ≥ 3) × 2 = (3/5) × 2 = 6/5
since ,the probability player 1 win multiplied by the associated number of points (3)
is equal to
the probability player 2 win multiplied by the associated number of points (2).
Then the game is fair.
