Answer:

A darts player practices throwing a dart at the bull’s eye on a dart board. Her probability of hitting the bull’s eye for each throw is 0.2.

(a) Find the probability that she is successful for the first time on the third throw:

The number F of unsuccessful throws till the first bull’s eye follows a geometric

distribution with probability of success q = 0.2 and probability of failure p = 0.8.

If the first bull’s eye is on the third throw, there must be two failures:

P(F = 2) = p

2

q = (0.8)2

(0.2) = 0.128.

(b) Find the probability that she will have at least three failures before her first

success.

We want the probability of F ≥ 3. This can be found in two ways:

P(F ≥ 3) = P(F = 3) + P(F = 4) + P(F = 5) + P(F = 6) + . . .

= p

3

q + p

4

q + p

5

q + p

6

q + . . . (geometric series with ratio p)

=

p

3

q

1 − p

=

(0.8)3

(0.2)

1 − 0.8

= (0.8)3 = 0.512.

Alternatively,

P(F ≥ 3) = 1 − (P(F = 0) + P(F = 1) + P(F = 2))

= 1 − (q + pq + p

2

q)

= 1 − (0.2)(1 + 0.8 + (0.8)2

)

= 1 − 0.488 = 0.512.

(c) How many throws on average will fail before she hits bull’s eye?

Since p = 0.8 and q = 0.2, the expected number of failures before the first success

is

E[F] = p

q

=

0.8

0.2

= 4.

Which pair of statements describes the end behavior of the graph of the function f(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 5x − 6?
notka56 [123]

A function assigns the values. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is a Function?</h3>

A function assigns the value of each element of one set to the other specific element of another set.


The complete question is:

Which pair of statements describe the end behavior of the graph of the function f(x) = x³ + 2x² − 5x − 6?

A.) As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches infinity. As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches infinity.

B.) As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches infinity. As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.

C.) As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.

D.) As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches infinity, f(x) approaches infinity.

If we draw the graph of the given function f(x) = x³ + 2x² − 5x − 6, then it can be observed that as x approaches -∞, f(x) approaches -∞. As x approaches ∞, f(x) approaches infinity.

Hence, the correct option is D.

It is impossible to create a square pyramid by rotating a shape about an axis because its base is not ________.
natta225 [31]
It is impossible because it's base is not circular. A solid of revolution is <span>obtained by rotating a </span>plane curve<span> around some </span>straight line, that is, <span>the </span>axis of revolution that lies on the same plane. The closest to a square pyramid applying this concept is by rotating a right triangle around the opposite or adjacent side (the axis), but the shape that you get is a straight circular cone.
