The final margin of an NFL football game is approximately normally distributed, with a mean equal to the gambling point spread a

nd a standard deviation of 14 points. Recall the great 2008 Super Bowl in which the Giants upset the Patriots. The Patriots had been favored by 12 points. What does that fact imply about the Giants' initial (i.e., pre-game) chances of winning

Answer:

The Giants had 0.1949 = 19.49% probability of winning initially.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean equal to the gambling point spread and a standard deviation of 14 points. The Patriots had been favored by 12 points.

This means that \mu = 12, \sigma = 14

What does that fact imply about the Giants' initial (i.e., pre-game) chances of winning

P(X > 0): Probability of Patriots winning.

P(X < 0): Probability of Giants winning.

So we want to find P(X < 0), which is the pvalue of Z when X = 0. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0 - 12}{14}

Z = -0.86

Z = -0.86 has a pvalue of 0.1949

The Giants had 0.1949 = 19.49% probability of winning initially.

2. c = 47,000 × n, where c is the cost of n number of bears.

3. a) The cost to ride 5 rides = $20.50, the cost to ride 8 rides = $28.00

The equation for the pattern, C(x) = 15.50 + 2.50 (r - 3), where C is the cost and r is the number of rides.

b) The cost to ride 12 rides = $36.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; To find the cost of one bear, we divide the cost of bears by the number.

If 4 bears cost $188,000, 1 bear costs = \frac{188000}{4} = $47,000.

If 7 bears cost $329,000, 1 bear costs = \frac{329,000}{7} = $47,000.

So the equation is c = 47,000 × n, where c is the cost to buy n bears.

Step 2; For every additional ride, the price increases by $2.50. So the equation for the pattern is C(x) = 13.50 + 2.50 (x - 3).

When the number of rides is 5, C(5) = 15.50 + 2.50 (5-3) = 15.50 + 2.50 (2) = 15.50 + 5.0 = $20.50.

When the number of rides is 8, C(8) = 15.50 + 2.50 (8-3) = 15.50 + 2.50 (5) = 15.50 + 12.50 = $28.00.

When the number of rides is 12, C(12) = 15.50 + 2.50 (12-3) = 15.50 + 2.50 (9) = 13.50 + 22.5 = $36.00.

Automobile license plates in Massachusetts usually consist of three digits followed by three letters. The first digit is never z
Serga [27]

Answer:

1,58,18,400

Step-by-step explanation:

1st digit can have the values 1-9 (9 distinct values)

2nd digit can have the values 0-9 (10 distinct values)

3rd digit can have the values 0-9 (10 distinct values)

1st letter can have the value A-Z (26 distinct values)

2nd letter can have the value A-Z (26 distinct values)

3rd letter can have the value A-Z (26 distinct values)

Total number of different plates possible = 9*10*10*26*26*26

=1,58,18,400
