How do we get a bigger number? Subtracting or dividing will just make it smaller. So we have to multiply. We need it about 4 times bigger (3 x 28 = 84, 4 x 28 .

Two athletic teams play a series of games; the first team to win 4 games is declared the overall winner. Suppose that one of the

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

p=0.7103 (4-game series)
p=0.6480 (2-game series)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable equal the the first 4 straight wins. An overall win for the stronger team implies a negative binomial function with the parameters n=4, p=0.6:

$P(X=4)={{i-1}\choose {4-1}}0.6^40.4^{i-4},\ i=4,5,6,7$

#We find probabilities for the different values of i:

$P(X=4)={3\choose 3}0.6^4=0.1296\\\\P(X=5)={4\choose 3}0.6^40.4^1=0.2074\\\\P(X=6)={5\choose 3}0.6^40.4^2=0.2074\\\\P(X=4)={6\choose 3}0.6^40.4^3=0.1659$

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning overall is:

$=P(X=4)+P(X=5)+P(X=6)+P(X=7)\\\\=0.7103$

#Define Y as the random variable for winning 2/3 games.:

$P(Y=2)={1\choose 1}0.6^2=0.3600\\\\P(Y=3)={2\choose3}0.6^20.4=0.2880\\\\P(win)=0.2880+0.3600=0.6480$

Hence, probability of the stronger team winning in 2 out 3 game series is 0.6480

The stronger team has a higher chance of winning in a 4-game series(0.7103>0.6480)

Tickets to a football game cost 5$ for students and 7$ for adults. write and solve a system of equations to determine the number

stepan [7]

Answer:

x + y = 680

5x + 7y = 3914

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of students who purchased tickets equal x.

Let the amount of adults who purchased tickets equal y.

If you add the amount of adults and students, you get the total amount of people:

x + y = 680

Also, to find the amount students spent on tickets, you multiply the ticket price by the amount of students to get 5x. And to find the amount adults spent on tickets, you multiply the ticket price by the amount of adults to get 7y. By adding the two amount, you get the total amount of money:

5x + 7y = 3914

These are the two equations:

x + y = 680

5x + 7y = 3914
