Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of players = 3

number of times game is repeated = 4

P( any person wins a game ) = 1/3

P ( any person does not win a game ) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

P ( any person wins no game in 4 attempts ) = ( 2/3 )^4 = 16/81

<em>Note : each player has equal chance of winning </em>

<u>Find the probability that there is at least one person who wins no games </u>

lets represent the probability of each player not wining a game with alphabet A

A1 = player 1 wins no game

A2 = player 2 wins no game

A3 = players 3 wins no game

Applying the inclusion-exclusion formula

<em>P( A1 ∪ A2 U A3 )</em><em> = P(A1 ) + P(A2) + P(A3) - P( A1 ∩ A2 ) - P( A2 ∩ A3 ) - P( A1            ∩ A3 )  + P( A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 ) </em>

where

P( A1 ∩ A2 ) = P( A1 wins all games )

P ( A1 wins all games in 4 attempts ) = ( 1/3 )^4 = 1/81

P( A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 ) = P ( no players wins any game in 4 attempts ) = 0

Hence

P( A1 ∪ A2 U A3 ) = 16/81 + 16/81 + 16/81 - 1/81 - 1/81 - 1/81 - 0 = 5/9

Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Decrease = 500000 - 420000 = 80000
Percent decrease = 80000 / 500000 x 100% = 16%

Use of word “amount” is irritating as in English this only used for measurements.
“Number” of cars would be better grammar.

How much will it cost to pour a circular slab 18 ft in diameter by 3 in. For a patio if the concrete costs $40.00 per cubic yard
sasho [114]
A circular concrete slab is a cylinder. Vol = pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah
in this cylinder:
r = 18%2F2 = 9 ft
h = 3%2F12 = .25 ft
:


Find the volume in cu/ft:
V = pi%2A9%5E2%2A.25
V = 63.61725 cu/ft
:
Change to cubic yds; (1 cu/yd = 27 cu/ft) and multiply by $40:
Cost = 63.61725%2F27 * 40
Cost = $94.25


In practical terms , they may require you to buy 3 cu/yds , which is $120
