Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Considering for for stronger team, given that: P(winning) = 0.6
  • This implies that Probability that the stronger team wins the first 4 games or Probability that the stronger team wins 3 games in the first 4 games and Probability that the stronger team wins the fifth game or Probability that the stronger team wins 3 of the first 5 games and Probability that the stronger team wins the 6th game or Probability that the stronger team wins 3 games in the first 6 games.
  • This is the likely possibilities for the probability that the stronger team wins the series.
  • Applying the concept of combinatorics and binomial probability(P(x) = r) ; nCr x P^r x q^n-r
  • where q = probability of failure, probability of not winning = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
  • = 0.6^4 + 4C1 x 0.6^4 x 0.4 + 5C2 x 0.6^4 x 0.4^2 + 6C3 x 0.6^4 x 0.4^3  = 0.710208
  • Therefore, probability that the stronger team wins the series = 0.710208

A ball is thrown from a height of 105 feet with an initial downward velocity of 9 ft/s. The ball's height h (in feet) after t se
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

t = 2.28 s

Step-by-step explanation:

h = 105 - 9t - 16t ^ 2

0 ft = 105 ft - 9t -16^t

To find the roots of a quadratic function we have to use the Bhaskara formula , the roots will give us the time it takes to reach zero height

ax^2 + bx + c  = 0

-16^t - 9t + 105 ft = 0 ft

a = -16    b = -9    c = 105

t1 = (-b + √ b^2 - 4ac)/2a

t2 =(-b - √ b^2 - 4ac)/2a

t1 = (9 + √(-9^2 - (4 * (-16) * 105)))/2 * (-16)

t1 = (9 + √(-81 + 6720))/ -32

t1 = (9 + √6639)/ -32

t1 = (9 + 81.84)/ -32

t1 = 90.84 / -32

t1 = -2.83 s

t2 = (9 - √(-9^2 - (4 * (-16) * 105)))/2 * (-16)

t2 = (9 - √(-81 + 6720))/ -32

t2 = (9 - √6639)/ -32

t2 = (9 - 81.84)/ -32

t2 = -72.84 / -32

t2 = 2.28 s

we have two possible values, we are only going to take the positive one, beacause we are talking about time

t2 = 2.28 s
