You and a friend are playing a best-of-three series (first to win 2 games wins the series). You are a stronger player and have a

0.68 chance of winning each game. Both you and your friend play better after winning a game. If you win a game, your chance of winning the next game is 0.81. If your friend wins a game, the chance they win the next game is 0.73. What is the probability you win the series

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Given that probability of you winning each game = 0.68

And probability of you winning next game = 0.81

Your friend's chance of winning/you losing would be = 1-0.68= 0.32

also his chance of winning next game = 0.73

To find probability that you would win the series given that you need to win two games to win the series

= probability that you win first game and second game+ probability that you win first game, lose second game and win third game + probability that you lose first game, win second game and win third game

= 0.68*0.81+0.68*0.32*0.68+0.32*0.68*0.81

=0.8750

Therefore probability that you would win the series = 0.8750

Note: here we found the probability of winning by adding(or) up the three possible combinations that would result in a win

Someone help me please!

Answer:

To solve the first inequality, you need to subtract 6 from both sides of the inequality, to obtain 4n≤12. This can then be cancelled down to n≤3 by dividing both sides by 4. To solve the second inequality, we first need to eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the inequality by the denominator, obtaining 5n>n^2+4. Since this inequality involves a quadratic expression, we need to convert it into the form of an^2+bn+c<0 before attempting to solve it. In this case, we subtract 5n from both sides of the inequality to obtain n^2-5n+4<0. The next step is to factorise this inequality. To factorise we must find two numbers that can be added to obtain -5 and that can be multiplied to obtain 4. Quick mental mathematics will tell you that these two numbers are -4 and -1 (for inequalities that are more difficult to factorise mentally, you can just use the quadratic equation that can be found in your data booklet) so we can write the inequality as (n-4)(n-1)<0. For inequalities where the co-efficient of n^2 is positive and the the inequality is <0, the range of n must be between the two values of n whereby the factorised expresion equals zero, which are n=1 and n=4. Therefore, the solution is 1<n<4 and we can check this by substituting in n=3, which satisfies the inequality since (3-4)(3-1)=-2<0. Since n is an integer, the expressions n≤3 and n<4 are the same. Therefore, we can write the final answer as either 1<n<4, or n>1 and n≤3.
