Answer:

  N = 5; only one rate is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of the sets of chips are ...

  12 +9N +8N^2 +4N^3

and

  2 +N +N^3 +N^4

We want to find N such that the difference in value is zero:

  N^4 -3N^3 -8N^2 -8N -10 = 0

A graphing calculator can show us the roots. There is only one positive real root to this equation: N = 5.

The exchange rate N is 5. Only one rate is possible.

If a baseball player get a hit in 31% of his at-bats, what is the probability that he will
solong [7]

Given:

A baseball player get a hit in 31% of his at-bats.

To find:

The probability that he will  get a hit 5 at-bats in a row.

Solution:

Since, a baseball player get a hit in 31% of his at-bats, therefore

Probability that he get a hit = \dfrac{31}{100}

                                           = 0.31

Now, the probability that he will  get a hit 5 at-bats in a row is

P=0.31\times 0.31\times 0.31\times 0.31\times 0.31

P=(0.31)^5

P=0.0028629151


Therefore, the required probability is (0.31)^5 and it can be written as 0.0028629151 .
