Answer:
Observe that the first and the second player have equal probability to get any of number. Using the principle of that symmetry, we have that

<u>Event X = 1 </u>means that the first player has got greater number than the second player, but not than the third player. So, choose any three numbers out of five of them and say that the minimal number out of these three goes to the second player, mean number to the first one and the largest to the third one. Permute remaining two numbers on remaining two people. Hence

<u>Event X = 2</u> means that the first player has got greater number than the second and the third player, but not than the fourth player. So, choose any four numbers out of five of them and say that the minimal number and the next minimal out of these four go to the second and the third player (and permute them), third number to the first one and the largest to the fourth player. Give remaining number to the last person. Hence

<u>Event X = 3</u> means that the first player has got greater number than the second, the third, and the forth player, but not than the fifth player. So, permute these five numbers as follows: give the highest to the last person, the second highest to the first, and permute remaining numbers on the remaining people. Hence

<u>Event X = 4</u> means basically the first player has won all the battles i.e, he has got the greatest number. Hence

Answer:
1.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
$1,665.19
Step-by-step explanation:
Interest=PRT/100 where P is the principal amount deposited by Michelle, R is the rate offered per year in terms of percentage, T is the period in years
Substituting P for $1385, T for 7 years, R for 2.89% we obtain interest as follows
Interest=$1,385*2.89*7 years/100=$280.1855
Balance after 7 years will be the sum of principal amount and interest gained
Balance=$1,385+$280.1855
=$1,665.1855
Rounding off to 2 decimal places
Balance=$1665.19
Therefore, Michelle's balance is $1,665.19
Answer:
The cutoff for a failing score was 40,
Approximately 2.3% of the students failed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Mean, 
Standard deviation, 
Let x represents the cutoff for a failing score,
Thus, according to the question,





Thus, the cutoff for a failing score is 40,
∵ P(<-2) = 0.02275 = 2.275 % ≈ 2.3 %
Hence, Approximately 2.3 % of the students failed.
