Answer:

Choose either strategy both are equally successful

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The probability of success for both husband (H) and wife (W) are:

P ( W ) = 0.8 , P ( H ) = 0.8

Find:-

- Which of the following is a better strategy for the couple?

Solution:-

Strategy 1

- First note that P ( W ) & P ( H ) are independent from one another, i.e the probability of giving correct answer of husband does not influences that of wife's.

- This strategy poses an event such that either wife knows the answer and answer it correctly or the husband knows and answers in correctly.

- We will assume that probability of either the husband or wife knowing the answer is 0.5 and the two events of knowing and answering correctly are independent. So,

P ( Wk ) = P (Hk) = 0.5

- The event P(S1) is:

P(S1) = P ( Hk & H ) + P ( Wk & W )

P(S1) = 0.5*0.8 + 0.5*0.8

P(S1) = 0.8

- Hence, the probability of success for strategy 1 is = 0.8

Strategy 2

- Both agree , then the common answer is selected otherwise, one of their answers is chosen at random.

- The success of strategy 2, will occur when both agree and are correct, wife is correct and answers while husband is not or husband is correct and he answers.

- The event P(S2) is:

P(S2) = P ( H & W ) + P ( H / W' & Hk ) + P ( H' / W & Wk )

P(S2) = P ( H & W ) + P ( H / W') P ( Hk ) + P ( H' / W) P (Wk)

P(S2) = P ( H & W ) + P ( H / W')*0.5 + P ( H' / W)*0.5

P(S2) = 0.5* [ P ( H & W ) + P ( H / W') ] + 0.5* [ P ( H' / W) + P ( H & W )]

P(S2) = 0.5*P(H) + 0.5*P(W)

P(S2) = 0.5*0.8 + 0.5*0.8

P(S2) = 0.8

- Hence, the probability of success for strategy 2 is = 0.8

Both strategy give us the same probability of success.

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (1,-108) and y-intercept (0,-105). Write your answer in this form: (X1,y1), (x

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

(7, 0) and (-5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Vertex form</u>

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

(where (h, k) is the vertex)

Given:

vertex = (1, -108)

$\implies y=a(x-1)^2-108$

Given:

y-intercept = (0, -105)

$\implies a(0-1)^2-108=-105$

$\implies a(-1)^2=-105+108$

$\implies a=3$

Therefore:

$\implies y=3(x-1)^2-108$

The x-intercepts are when y = 0

$\implies 3(x-1)^2-108=0$

$\implies 3(x-1)^2=108$

$\implies (x-1)^2=36$

$\implies x-1=\pm \sqrt{36}$

$\implies x=1\pm 6$

$\implies x=7, x=-5$

Therefore, the x-intercepts are (7, 0) and (-5, 0)

[6+4=10 points] Problem 2. Suppose that there are k people in a party with the following PMF: • k = 5 with probability 1 4 • k =

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

1). 0.903547

2). 0.275617

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given :

K people in a party with the following :

i). k = 5 with the probability of $\frac{1}{4}$

ii). k = 10 with the probability of $\frac{1}{4}$

iii). k = 10 with the probability $\frac{1}{2}$

So the probability of at least two person out of the 'n' born people in same month is = 1 - P (none of the n born in the same month)

= 1 - P (choosing the n different months out of 365 days) = $1-\frac{_{n}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^2}$

1). Hence P(at least 2 born in the same month)=P(k=5 and at least 2 born in the same month)+P(k=10 and at least 2 born in the same month)+P(k=15 and at least 2 born in the same month)

= $\frac{1}{4}\times (1-\frac{_{5}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^5})+\frac{1}{4}\times (1-\frac{_{10}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^{10}})+\frac{1}{2}\times (1-\frac{_{15}^{12}\textrm{P}}{12^{15}})$

= $0.25 \times 0.618056 + 0.25 \times 0.996132 + 0.5 \times 1$

= 0.903547

2).P( k = 10|at least 2 share their birthday in same month)

=P(k=10 and at least 2 born in the same month)/P(at least 2 share their birthday in same month)

= $0.25 \times \frac{0.996132}{0.903547}$

= 0.0.275617
