What is 0.48 times 0.4

The Slow Ball Challenge or The Fast Ball Challenge.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Fast ball challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Slow Ball Challenge

$Pitches = 7$

$P(Hit) = 80\%$

$Win = \$60$

$Lost = \$10$

Fast Ball Challenge

$Pitches = 3$

$P(Hit) = 70\%$

$Win = \$60$

$Lost = \$10$

Required

Which should he choose?

To do this, we simply calculate the expected earnings of both.

Considering the slow ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 7 pitches

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

Where

$n = 7$ --- pitches

$x = 7$ --- all hits

$p = 80\% = 0.80$ --- probability of hit

So, we have:

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

$P(7) =^7C_7 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^{7 - 7}$

$P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^0$

$P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * 0.20^0$

Using a calculator:

$P(7) =0.2097152$ --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

$P(Win) =0.2097152$

The probability that he lose is:

$P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)$ ---- Complement rule

$P(Lose) = 1 -0.2097152$

$P(Lose) = 0.7902848$

The expected value is then calculated as:

$Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose$

$Expected = 0.2097152 * \$60 + 0.7902848 * \$10$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Expected = \$20.48576$

Considering the fast ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 3 pitches

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

Where

$n = 3$ --- pitches

$x = 3$ --- all hits

$p = 70\% = 0.70$ --- probability of hit

So, we have:

$P(3) =^3C_3 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^{3 - 3}$

$P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^0$

$P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * 0.30^0$

Using a calculator:

$P(3) =0.343$ --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

$P(Win) =0.343$

The probability that he lose is:

$P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)$ ---- Complement rule

$P(Lose) = 1 - 0.343$

$P(Lose) = 0.657$

The expected value is then calculated as:

$Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose$

$Expected = 0.343 * \$60 + 0.657 * \$10$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Expected = \$27.15$

So, we have:

$Expected = \$20.48576$ -- Slow ball

$Expected = \$27.15$ --- Fast ball

<em>The expected earnings of the fast ball challenge is greater than that of the slow ball. Hence, he should choose the fast ball challenge.</em>

To fit between two windows, the width of a bookshelf must be no greater than feet. Mrs. Aguilar purchases a bookshelf that is 77

kozerog [31]

Given:
width of bookshelf no greater than 6 1/2 feet
purchased bookshelf that is 77 inches wide

We need to find the equivalent value in feet of the purchased bookshelf.

1 foot is equal to 12 inches

77 inches * 1 foot/12 inches = 77 ft/12 = 6 5/6 ft

Or we can convert the feet into inches:

6 1/2 feet convert to improper fraction.

((6*2)+1)/2 = 13/2 feet

13/2 ft * 12 inches/1ft = (13 * 12)/2 = 156/2 = 78 inches

Compare the maximum width of 78 inches to the actual width of 77 inches.

The purchased bookshelf can fit between two windows.

Complete the transformations below. Then enter the final coordinates of the figure.

9966 [12]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point (x, y) is translated by 4 units horizontally right and 1 unit upwards, coordinates of the image point will be,

(x, y) → (x + 4. y + 1)

Therefore, vertices of the image triangle ABC will be,

A(2, 2) → A'(2+4, 2+1)

→ A'(6, 3)

B(5, -1) → B'(5+4, -1+1)

→ B'(9, 0)

C(1, -2) → C'(1+4, -2+1)

→ C'(5, -1)

Then reflected across y-axis.

Rule for the reflection across y-axis will be,

(x, y) → (-x, y)

A'(6, 3) → A"(-6, 3)

B'(9, 0) → B"(-9, 0)

C'(5, -1) → C"(-5, -1)

The table shows the number of students in a class who play on a school team and/or are members of a school club:

eimsori [14]

This one is very simple.

create a simple equation to find out

15 = 12 + x

subtract 12 from each side

x= 3

the missing number is 3

or, to be even simpler, take the total, subtract the total from the number you know and the difference is the missing number.

hope I helped

ALSO, we can check going down vertically. 3 + 10 =13. this is the total listed at the bottom.
