Answer:
Fast ball challenge
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Slow Ball Challenge
Fast Ball Challenge
Required
Which should he choose?
To do this, we simply calculate the expected earnings of both.
Considering the slow ball challenge
First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 7 pitches
Where
--- pitches
--- all hits
--- probability of hit
So, we have:
Using a calculator:
--- This is the probability that he wins
i.e.
The probability that he lose is:
---- Complement rule
The expected value is then calculated as:
Using a calculator, we have:
Considering the fast ball challenge
First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 3 pitches
Where
--- pitches
--- all hits
--- probability of hit
So, we have:
Using a calculator:
--- This is the probability that he wins
i.e.
The probability that he lose is:
---- Complement rule
The expected value is then calculated as:
Using a calculator, we have:
So, we have:
-- Slow ball
--- Fast ball
<em>The expected earnings of the fast ball challenge is greater than that of the slow ball. Hence, he should choose the fast ball challenge.</em>

Answer:
90 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the distance to Grandma's house.
The speed going was ...
speed = distance/time
speed = d/2
The speed coming home was ...
speed = d/2.25
The difference of these speeds is 5 miles per hour:
d/2 -d/2.25 = 5
2.25d -2d = 5(4.50) . . . . . multiply by 4.50
0.25d = 22.5 . . . . . . . . . . .simplify
d = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4
Grandma's house is 90 miles away.
Answer:
Area = 7.853981 in^2 (2.5 Pi)
Perimeter = 11.42478 in (3.63Pi)
Step-by-step explanation:
Area
Lg semi circle area = Pi(2^2)(0.5) = 3.141593(4)0.5) = 6.283185 in^2
Sm semi circle area = Pi(1^2)(0.5) = 3.141593(2)(0.5) = 1.570796 in^2
added together = 7.853981 in^2
Perimeter
Lg semi circle perimeter = Pi(4)(0.5) + 2 = 8.283185 in
Sm semi circle perimeter = Pi(2)(0.5) = 3.141593 in
added together = 11.42478 in
