Answer:
A darts player practices throwing a dart at the bull’s eye on a dart board. Her probability of hitting the bull’s eye for each throw is 0.2.
(a) Find the probability that she is successful for the first time on the third throw:
The number F of unsuccessful throws till the first bull’s eye follows a geometric
distribution with probability of success q = 0.2 and probability of failure p = 0.8.
If the first bull’s eye is on the third throw, there must be two failures:
P(F = 2) = p
2
q = (0.8)2
(0.2) = 0.128.
(b) Find the probability that she will have at least three failures before her first
success.
We want the probability of F ≥ 3. This can be found in two ways:
P(F ≥ 3) = P(F = 3) + P(F = 4) + P(F = 5) + P(F = 6) + . . .
= p

q + p

=

(0.2)
1 − 0.8
= (0.8)3 = 0.512.
Alternatively,
P(F ≥ 3) = 1 − (P(F = 0) + P(F = 1) + P(F = 2))
= 1 − (q + pq + p
2
q)
= 1 − (0.2)(1 + 0.8 + (0.8)2
)
= 1 − 0.488 = 0.512.
(c) How many throws on average will fail before she hits bull’s eye?
Since p = 0.8 and q = 0.2, the expected number of failures before the first success
is
E[F] = p
q
=
0.8
0.2
= 4.
Distances in 2- and 3-dimensions (and even higher dimensions) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The straight-line distance can be considered to be the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose sides are the horizontal and vertical differences between the coordinates.
Here, you have A = (0, 0) and B = (3, 6). The horizontal distance between the points is ...
... 3 - 0 = 3 . . . . the difference of x-coordinates
The vertical distance between the points is ...
... 6 - 0 = 6 . . . . the difference of y-coordinates
Then the straight-line distance (d) between the points is found from the Pythagorean theorem, which tells you ...
... d² = 3² + 6²
... d = √(9 + 36) = √45 ≈ 6.7 . . . units
Answer:
i have no more money to buy a candle shop full of dogs with cats and people
Step-by-step explanation:
ur mae
Where i put the black lines is where the points should be because there are 5 lines and the 6th one makes a whole number you would multiply 2/3 but 2 and it’ll become 4/6 and that’s why i got it on -1 4/6 and then 5/6 well i have it on there
The answer is Option B , the solution is 3
