Answer:

functional fixedness.

Explanation:

In Psychology, functional fixedness can be defined as an inability of a person to realize that a physical object or device generally known to be used for a particular purpose, is capable of being used to perform other functions.

This ultimately implies that, it is a cognitive bias that involves the inability to see a physical object as being capable of being used to perform other functions i.e seeing a physical object as functioning only in one type of way.

Hence, perceiving scissors as only useful in its cutting capacity would be considered a functional fixedness. A scissors can be used to bore a hole in a material.

Supply and price have what type of relationship?

katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

For this, I will use roses to explain.

If the price of roses increases, the demand will decrease, but the supply will increase. This is proven by the law of supply and demand. This happens because if the supplier can make more money from a product, more people will want to sell the product. But if the price goes down, not that many people will want to sell that.

In women’s tennis, a player must win 2 out of 3 sets to win a match. If a player wins the first 2 sets, she wins the match and t

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

1)All possible sequences of events V and M by set played that will result in Player V winning the match = VV; MVV; VMV

2) All possible sequences of events V and M by set played that will result in Player M winning the match:

MM; VMM; MVM

3) The probability player V wins the match = 0.4575

4) Probability that a match between Player V and Player M will consist of 3 sets given that Player V wins the match. = 0.3443

The expected number of sets played when Player V competes in a match with Player M = 2.35

Explanation:

Given:

Event player V wins a set = V

Event player M wins a set = M

1)All possible sequences of events V and M by set played that will result in Player V winning the match = VV; MVV; VMV

2) All possible sequences of events V and M by set played that will result in Player M winning the match:

MM; VMM; MVM

3) The probability player V wins the match:

P(V) = P(VV) + P(MVV) + P(VMV)

P(VV) means probability player V wins first and second set. In the first set she had an equal chance of winning, i.e 50%. We are told if she wins first set, probability of winning second set is 0.60.

Therefore, P(VV) = 0.50 * 0.60

= 0.30

P(MVV) means player V lost the first set, but won the remaining two sets.

P(MVV) = 0.50 *(1-0.70) * 0.45

= 0.0675

VMV means player V won the first set, lost the second, and won the third set.

P(VMV) = 0.50 * (1-0.60) * 0.45

= 0.09

Therefore

P(VV) + P(MVV) + P(VMV)

= 0.30 + 0.0675 + 0.09

= 0.4575

Probability V wins is 0.4575

4) Probability that a match between Player V and Player M will consist of 3 sets given that Player V wins the match.

Here it means player V must lose one of the first two sets, but will still win the match.

Calculating, we have:

$\frac{P(MVV) + P(VMV)}{P(V)}$

$= \frac{0.0675 + 0.09}{0.4575}$

= 0.344262 ≈ 0.3443

5) The expected number of sets played when Player V competes in a match with Player M.

Let's first find the probability 2 sets are played.

P(2) = P(VV) + P(MM)

We know P(VV) = 0.30

P(MM) = 0.50 * 0.70 = 0.35

Therefore, P(2) = 0.30 + 0.35

P(2)= 0.65

Let's now find probability of 3 sets happening.

P(3) = P(2) not happening

Therefore

P(3) = 1 - P(2)

P(3) = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

Since probability of 2 sets is 0.65 and probability of 3 sets is 0.35, the expected number of sets will be :

(2 * 0.65) + (3 * 0.35)

= 1.30 + 1.05 = 2.35

The expected number of sets = 2.35

Identify the Land, Labor, and Capital needed to put on a Major League baseball game.

Allisa [31]

Well let's start with the obvious: the land is the property on which the stadium lies. Team's gotta play somewhere.

Labor being people we must pay to provide the certain services is also an easier one. You want 10 examples so let's rattle 'em off:

We need players to play the game itself.
We need managers on the field to set up the batting order, call for shifts, pick our pitcher, etc.
We need trainers and medical staff just in case the players get hurt.
We need general managers to pick which players are going to play for each team.
We need groundskeepers to mow the lawns, lay the bases, pull of the tarp, chalk the dirt, etc.
We need cashiers taking tickets of customers at the front.
We need police officers and security to make sure people don't get too rowdy and into the game.
We need bat boys to field the foul balls and hand them to the sweet children in the good seats.
We need people manning the concession stands so I don't have to leave my seat to buy cotton candy and hot dogs.
We need some assistants on-hand to bring in the Big League Chew and sunflower seeds (need people to harvest those)... and another product that has to do with "packing a lip" that I'm not sure can be explicitly mentioned here on Brainly.

Now for the capital, man-made things used in a baseball game. Even easier than the labor because of how many different things to into the on-field equipment alone:

We need some Louisville Sluggers, don't we?
Someone needs to sew jerseys, pants, socks, and hats.
Another company is producing cleats.
A separate business is producing gloves.
We need some man-made machines to mow the lawn.
Other man-made machines to make the bases.
OTHER man-made machines to chalk the field.
Someone is producing pine tar for the bats (and cheating pitchers); it's a chemical process to make; they aren't just finding tree sap.
Big League Chew! or any gum brand. That was a Wrigley creation, now I don't know who does it.
Let's make the last one a lame one. The tray that they are carrying the snacks on? Yeah, that man-made. We need a lot of those in a stadium of 50,000.
