Answer:
- p=0.7103 (4-game series)
- p=0.6480 (2-game series)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the random variable equal the the first 4 straight wins. An overall win for the stronger team implies a negative binomial function with the parameters n=4, p=0.6:
#We find probabilities for the different values of i:
Hence, probability of the stronger team winning overall is:
#Define Y as the random variable for winning 2/3 games.:
Hence, probability of the stronger team winning in 2 out 3 game series is 0.6480
The stronger team has a higher chance of winning in a 4-game series(0.7103>0.6480)
Answer:
A. Equation is
B. Cost is $88
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
Suppose you rent for x hours and each hour costs $15.75
<u><em>How much would you need to pay?</em></u>
Moreover, there is a $25 dollar (fixed) deposit for renting, so that gets added to your payment. All in all, you have to pay
This is the equation of renting a snowboard for x hours.
Equation is
- Where x is the number of hours you rent the snowboard, and
- c is the total cost
B)
If you are renting from 8.30 to 12.30, you are basically renting for 4 hours.
To know how much it will cost, you simply plug in 4 into x (in the equation):
Cost is $88
25x.25=6.25 so the answer is $6.25
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The area of a rectangle is width * length. The width is 5x, and the length is 7x-2. This means the area is 5x*(7x-2). Distributing the 5x, we find that the area of the rectangle is 35x^2-10x.
b. To find the area when x is 4, we plug x=4, so 35*4^2-10*4=560-40=520.
c. same as above, we plug x=7, and get 1645 as our area.
