Two baseball players bat first and second in the lineup. The first batter has an on-base percentage of 0.23. The second batter h

as an on-percentage of 0.38 if someone is on base, but only 0.26 if the bases are empty. At the start of the game, what is the probability that neither player gets on base?

Answer:

The probability that neither player gets on base is 0.4824

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Both players get to base. <em>Just multiply the two probabilities together</em>:

= (<em>probability first batter gets on base</em>) x (<em>probability second batter gets on base, if the first batter gets on base</em>)

= 0.23 x 0.38

= 0.0874

2. One player gets to base. The formula here is P(A+B) =P(A) + P(B) - P(A) x P(B)

= (<em>probability first batter gets on base</em>) + (<em>probability second batter gets on base, if the first batter does not</em>) - (0.23 x 0.26)

= 0.23 + 0.26 - (0.23 x 0.26)

= 0.49 - 0.0598

= 0.4302

3. Neither player gets to base =<em> 1 - addition of the previous two cases</em>.

= 1 - (0.0874 + 0.4302)

= 1 - 0.5176

= 0.4824

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

In year 2030 the population is predicted to be 71.75 million

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- Using data from 2010 and projected to 2020, the population of

 the United Kingdom (y, in millions) can be approximated by the

 equation  10.0 y − 4.55 x = 581

- x is the number of years after 2000

- We need to know in what year the population is predicted to be

  71.75 million

* <em>Lets substitute the value of y in the equation by 71,75</em>

∵ The equation of the population is 10.0 y - 4.55 x = 581

∵ y = 71.75

∴ 10.0(71.75) - 4.55 x = 581

∴ 717.5 - 4.55 x = 581

- Subtract 717.5 from both sides

∴ - 4.55 x = - 136.5

- Divide both sides by - 4.55

∴ x = 30

∵ x represents the number of years after 2000

∵ 2000 + 30 = 2030

∴ In year 2030 the population is predicted to be 71.75 million

Ƒ(x) = x2 + 2x − 15 to find the solution when ƒ(x) = 0.
lozanna [386]

Answer:

f = 2 + -15x-1 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

f(x) = x2 + 2x + -15

Multiply f (x)

fx = x2 + 2x + -15

Reorder the terms:

fx = -15 + 2x + x2

Solving

fx = -15 + 2x + x2

Solving for variable 'f'.

Move all terms containing f to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by 'x'.

f = -15x-1 + 2 + x

Simplifying

f = -15x-1 + 2 + x

Reorder the terms:

f = 2 + -15x-1 + x
