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)

What is the end behavior of the function f(x)=−1/4x^2?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity

As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the function goes in the downward direction on both sides, it would be negative infinity for both.

It's basically saying, as the x values go towards the positives, the y values go towards the negatives

and as the x values go towards the negatives, the y values go towards the negatives.

How do you solve 216 - 202?? -explained-
Serhud [2]

Answer: 216 - 202 = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

It’s 14 because in my way, I separated the numbers, like this:

200 - 200 = 0

16 - 2 = 14

Since 0 is equal to nothing, the answer is 14.
