Answer:

The probability is 32/81

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

The probability that the team wins is p = 2/3

Then the probability of not winning is q = 1 - p = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3

The team plays 4 matches.

We want to find the probability that the team wins 1 more than half of the number of matches played.

So if there are 4 matches, the half is 2 matches

one more than half is then 3 matches.

Let's assume that the team wins the first 3 matches, and does not win the last match.

match one, the team wins with prob: P₁ = 2/3

match two, the team wins with prob: P₂ = 2/3

match three, the team wins with prob: P₃ = 2/3

match four, the team wins with prob: P₄ = 1/3

The joint probability is the product of all the individual probabilities:

P = (2/3)*(2/3)*(2/3)*(1/3)

Now we must also considerate the permutations, we have the cases:

the team does not win the fourth match

the team does not win the third match

the team does not win the second match

the team does not win the first match

So we have just four permutations, then the total probability is:

probability = 4*P = 4*(2/3)*(2/3)*(2/3)*(1/3) = 4*(8/81) = (32/81)

Zachary used the calculations shown to find how much he would spend on 16 ounces of pistachios.
maw [93]

Answer:

He made a math error

Step-by-step explanation:

6 ounces of pistachios cost $7.50

take 7.50 / 6=1.25 per ounce  ( not .80 per ounce)

Then 1.26 * 16 = 20.00 for 16 ounces

The curved part of this figure is a semicircle. What is the best approximation for the area of this figure? 18+12.125π units² 36
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

18+12.125π units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the semicircle can be found by the use Pythagoras theorem.

Δx²+Δy²=d²

Δx=3--1=4

Δy=3--6=9

d²=4²+9²

d=√(16+81)

Area=πr²/2

=π×(√(16+81)/2)²÷2

=[π×(97)/4]/2

=97π/8

=18+12.125π units²

97π/8 is equivalent to 18+12.125π units²
