Post the problem from the paper
You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
Answer:
0.430625=0.431
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
0.430625 = 0.431
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W represent winning, D represent a draw and L represent a loss.
12+ points can be garnered in each of the following ways.
6W 0D 0L
5W 1D 0L
5W 0D 1L
4W 2D 0L
4W 1D 1L
4W 0D 2L
3W 3D 0L
The probability of getting 12+ points is the sum of all these 7 probabilities.
Knowing that P(W) = 0.5
P(D) = 0.1
P(L) = 0.4
P(6W 0D 0L) = [6!/(6!0!0!)] 0.5⁶ 0.1⁰ 0.4⁰ = 0.015625
P(5W 1D 0L) = [6!/(5!1!0!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1¹ 0.4⁰ = 0.01875
P(5W 0D 1L) = [6!/(5!0!1!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1⁰ 0.4¹ = 0.075
P(4W 2D 0L) = [6!/(4!2!0!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1² 0.4⁰ = 0.09375
P(4W 1D 1L) = [6!/(4!1!1!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1¹ 0.4¹ = 0.075
P(4W 0D 2L) = [6!/(4!0!2!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1⁰ 0.4² = 0.15
P(3W 3D 0L) = [6!/(3!3!0!)] 0.5³ 0.1³ 0.4⁰ = 0.0025
The probability of getting 12+ points = 0.015625 + 0.01875 + 0.075 + 0.09375 + 0.075 + 0.15 + 0.0025 = 0.430625
