A soda manufacturer knows that sales of soda increase during the summer. To make sure that they get a large portion of the sales

, they decide to offer a contest throughout the spring. The contest is pretty simple: when you open your bottle of soda, if it says, “You win!” under the cap, you get another bottle of their soda for free. The chance of winning a free soda is 1 in 12. Lucky Lucy bought five sodas and won a free one with four of the caps. What’s the probability of that happening? Theoretically, how many sodas would you have to buy before having a greater than 50% chance of winning a free soda?

Answer:

a.) Probability = 1/5

b.) 10 soda

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is a game of chance.

The initial chance = 1/12

If Lucky Lucy bought five sodas and won a free one with four of the caps. The probability of that happening will be 1/5

Having a greater than 50% chance of winning a free soda means having probability greater than half. That is,

Probability > 1/2

You would have to buy (12 - 2) soda. Which is equal to 10.

jarptica [38.1K]
You can rearrange f(x) as:

f(x) = 3(x^2 + 3x) + 12 = 3(x+1.5)^2 +5.25

So you can see the vertex is at (0,5.25) when x = -1.5

The axis of symmetry then lies in x = -1.5
