Answer:
p = 5 and b = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, create a system of equations:
2p + 4b = 42
7p + 9b = 107
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -7 and the bottom equation by 2:
-14p - 28b = -294
14p + 18b = 214
Add these together, and solve for b:
-10b = -80
b = 8
Plug in 8 as b into one of the equations, and solve for p:
2p + 4b = 42
2p + 4(8) = 42
2p + 32 = 42
2p = 10
p = 5
So, p = 5 and b = 8
Answer: Hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question
answer:
0.1515
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of bets = 200
mean number of losses = $0.2
Standard deviation = $2.74
<u>Determine P ( winning after 200 bets ) </u>
Average of 200 bets > 0. i.e. P( X > 0 )
considering normal distribution : μ = -0.2 , б = 2.74 , n = 200
applying Z - distribution
z = 0 - ( - 0.2 ) / ( 2.74 / √200 ) ≈ 1.03
∴ P ( z > 1.03 ) = 1 - P ( z < 1.03 )
= 1 - 0.8485 ( value gotten from z-table )
= 0.1515
Isolating the variable terms and dividing by 4, we have
Taking the square root, we have
