Two brothers, Mark and Walter, each inherit $20000. Mark invests his inheritance in a savings account with an annual return of 2

Igoryamba

Answer:

$720

Step-by-step explanation:

$20000 - 100%

$x. - 2.5%

x=(20000*2.5)/100=500

20000+500=$20500 in one year (Mark)

20000 - 100

x. - 6.1

x= (20000*6.1)/100 = 1220

20000+1220= $21220 (Walter)

21220-20500= $720 more (Walter will have after 1 year)

The Slow Ball Challenge or The Fast Ball Challenge.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Fast ball challenge

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Slow Ball Challenge

$Pitches = 7$

$P(Hit) = 80\%$

$Win = \$60$

$Lost = \$10$

Fast Ball Challenge

$Pitches = 3$

$P(Hit) = 70\%$

$Win = \$60$

$Lost = \$10$

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

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

Where

$n = 7$ --- pitches

$x = 7$ --- all hits

$p = 80\% = 0.80$ --- probability of hit

So, we have:

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

$P(7) =^7C_7 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^{7 - 7}$

$P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * (1 - 0.80)^0$

$P(7) =1 * 0.80^7 * 0.20^0$

Using a calculator:

$P(7) =0.2097152$ --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

$P(Win) =0.2097152$

The probability that he lose is:

$P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)$ ---- Complement rule

$P(Lose) = 1 -0.2097152$

$P(Lose) = 0.7902848$

The expected value is then calculated as:

$Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose$

$Expected = 0.2097152 * \$60 + 0.7902848 * \$10$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Expected = \$20.48576$

Considering the fast ball challenge

First, we calculate the binomial probability that he hits all 3 pitches

$P(x) =^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n - x}$

Where

$n = 3$ --- pitches

$x = 3$ --- all hits

$p = 70\% = 0.70$ --- probability of hit

So, we have:

$P(3) =^3C_3 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^{3 - 3}$

$P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * (1 - 0.70)^0$

$P(3) =1 * 0.70^3 * 0.30^0$

Using a calculator:

$P(3) =0.343$ --- This is the probability that he wins

i.e.

$P(Win) =0.343$

The probability that he lose is:

$P(Lose) = 1 - P(Win)$ ---- Complement rule

$P(Lose) = 1 - 0.343$

$P(Lose) = 0.657$

The expected value is then calculated as:

$Expected = P(Win) * Win + P(Lose) * Lose$

$Expected = 0.343 * \$60 + 0.657 * \$10$

Using a calculator, we have:

$Expected = \$27.15$

So, we have:

$Expected = \$20.48576$ -- Slow ball

$Expected = \$27.15$ --- 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>
