Answer:

1/2 or 50% probability

Step-by-step explanation:

There are just two players, player A and player B. Since it is between this two players, for player A to score first we would have:

AB where player A is the first player to score, we wouldn't have BA since player would not be the first here

Probability = number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Therefore probability of A being the first player = number of A/total number of players

=1/2 = 0.50

There is therefore a 50% chance of A being the first player

First the store raised the price of a pot by 20%. Then they announced a 20% discount on the pot. Is the customer going to pay mo
andrezito [222]

Answer:

less

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase of 20% makes the price 120% of the original price.

A discount of 20% makes the discounted price 80% of the previous price.

Original price: x

20% increase in price: 1.2 * x

20% discount over the raised price: 0.8 * 1.2 * x

Now we multiply the numbers in the last expression and compare the result with x.

0.8 * 1.2 * x = 0.96x

0.96 is less than x, so the customer pays less than the original price.

m = Δy/Δx

m= -1-3 /2--2

m = -4 /4 = -1

The slope is -1

Write out the first few terms of the series Summation from n equals 0 to infinity (StartFraction 2 Over 3 Superscript n EndFract
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = 15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum you are trying to understand is this.

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n}

Remember that in general when you have a geometric series  

\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n you have that

\sum\limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} a*r^n = \frac{a}{1-r}      and that equality is true as long as     |r| < 1.

Therefore here we have

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{2}{3^n}\frac{(-1)^n}{5^n} = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{3*5} \big)^n = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n        and   \big|\frac{-1}{15} \big| = \frac{1}{15} < 1

Therefore we can use the formula and

\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} 2* \big(\frac{-1}{15} \big)^n =  \frac{2}{1-(-1/15)} = \frac{2}{1+1/15} = 30/16  = 15/8

Dawn comma Sergio comma Tyrone comma and Jim have all been invited to a dinner party. They arrive randomly and each person arriv
professor190 [17]

Answer:

a. 24

b. 2

c. 0.0833 = 8.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The first "slot" of person to arrive has 4 possibilities, then the second "slot" will have 3 possibilities, as one has already arrived, then the third "slot" has 2 possibilities, and the fourth "slot" has just 1 possibility.

So, multiplying all these combinations, we have 4*3*2*1 = 24 possible ways they can arrive

b.

If the first and the last person are already "locked", we just have possibilities for the second and third person. The second will have 2 possibilities (Sergio or Tyrone), and the third will have only 1 (the person that wasn't the second between Sergio and Tyrone). So, the number of possibilities is 2*1 = 2

c.

If we have 2 cases where Dawn is first and Jim is last, from a total of 24 possible cases, the probability is 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.0833 = 8.33%
