8/x= 2/5
8•5= 2•x
40=2x
40/2= x
20= x
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:
#We find probabilities for the different values of i:
Hence, probability of the stronger team winning overall is:
#Define Y as the random variable for winning 2/3 games.:
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)
Answer:
3 3/18
Step-by-step explanation:
5 3/6-2 1/3
We first need to turn our mixed numbers into fractions by multiplying the while number by the denominator, then adding the numerator. When we do this, 5 3/6 turns into 33/6 and 2 1/3 turns into 7/3. Now we have this:
33/6-7/3
Now we need to find the Least common multiple of the denominators in order to find our common denominator, which in this case is 6. 33/6 already has a denominator of 6, so we do not need to do anything to it. To give a denominator of 6 to 7/3, however, we must multiply by 2, giving us this:
33/6-14/6
Now we can subtract the numerators.
19/6
To turn this back into a mixed number, we divide 19 by 6, which gives us 3 with a remainder of 1. Therefore, our answer is 3 1/6. This is an equivalent fraction to the fourth answer, 3 3/18.
HTH :)
We have ( 5x+16 + 8x + 4 - 4x -2 )/3 = (9x + 18) / 3 = 9( x + 2 ) / 3 = 3( x + 2 ) = 3x + 6;
