A bucket always contains two balls. Ball colors are red and blue. Each stage in a process consists of two steps: selection and r

eplacement. At each stage a ball is randomly selected and then replaced by a new ball, which with probability 0.8 is the same color, and with probability 0.2 is the opposite color, as the ball it replaces. If initially both balls are red, find the probability that the fifth ball selected is red. (You will find it helpful to first model this system as a Markov chain.)

Answer:

Probability that the fifth ball selected is red = 0.705

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

X_{n} = Number of red balls after the 4th turn

⇒X_{n}  ∈ { 0, 1, 2 }

Then,

P = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.8&0.2&0\\0.1&0.8&0.1\\0&0.2&0.8\end{array}\right]

⇒P^{4} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.487&0.435&0.776\\0.218&0.565&0.218\\0.776&0.435&0.487\end{array}\right]

Now,

P(5th ball is red | X_{0} = 2 ) = 0. P^{4} _{20} + \frac{1}{2}P^{4} _{21} + 1. P^{4} _{22}

                                         =  \frac{1}{2} (0.4352) + 1. (0.4872) = 0.2176 + 0.4872

                                        = 0.705

∴ we get

Probability that the fifth ball selected is red = 0.705

Which statement correctly identifies a local minimum of the graphed function?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

C. Over the interval [–1, 0.5], the local minimum is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we observe the following:

1) x intercepts are two points.

ii) y intercept = 1

f(x) = y increases from x=-infinity to -1.3

y decreases from x=-1.3 to 0

Again y increases from x=0 to end of graph.

Hence in the interval for x as (-1.3, 1) f(x) has a minimum value of (0,1)

i.e. there is a minimum value of 1 when x =0

Since [-1,0.5] interval contains the minimum value 1 we find that

Option C is right answer.

There is a local minimum of 1 in the interval [-1,0.5]

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer: c=5.4

The two roots are 3/5 and 9/5


Step-by-step explanation:

assume 5x2−12x c=0 is supposed to be 5x^2 - 12x + c = 0

p = (12 + sqrt(144-20c))/10

q = (12 - sqrt(144-20c))/10

p-3q=0,

1.2 + 0.1sqrt(144-20c) +

-3.6 + 0.3sqrt(144-20c) = 0

-2.4 + 0.4sqrt(144-20c) +2.4 = 2.4

sqrt(144-20c) = 2.4/0.4 = 6

144-20c=36

144-36=20c

c = 108/20 = 5.4

5x^2-12x+5.4=0

x = 3/5 or x = 9/5

Find the missing dimension use the scale factor 1:12 model 32 cm find the actual in m
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Given:

The scale factor is 1:12.

Dimension of model = 32 cm

To find:

The actual dimension in m.

Solution:

Let x be the actual dimension.

The scale factor is 1:12 and the dimension of model is 32 cm.

\dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{32}{x}

On cross multiplication, we get

x=32\times 12

x=384\ cm

x=3.84\ m             [\because 1\ m=100\ cm]

Therefore, the actual dimension is 3.84 m.
