Explanation:

motivated to take action to reduce feelings of discomfort

its a motivator for change

Cognitive dissonance causes feelings of unease and tension, and people attempt to relieve this discomfort in different ways. Examples include “explaining things away” or rejecting new information that conflicts with their existing beliefs

Under the given assumptions, summer lasts 93 days (10 days for Jun, 31 days each for Jul and Aug, and 21 days for Sept), and winter lasts 90 days (11 days for Dec, 31 days for Jan, 28 days for Feb, and 20 days for Mar).

1. In the summer, we assume the Earth moves in a circular path with radius 94.5 million mi. In 365 days, the planet would cover a distance equal to the circumference of this circle, 2π * (94.5 million mi), or approximately (using π = 3.14) 593.46 million mi. Summer last 93 days, which is roughly 93/365 = 25.48% of one year. So during the summer, the Earth will traverse about 25.48% of the circumference of its circular path, or

0.2548 * (593.46 million mi) = 151.2 million mi

In the winter, the Earth's path is taken to be a circle of radius 91.4 million mi, so its circumference is 2π * (91.4 million mi) = 573.99 million mi. Winter has a duration of 90/365 = 24.68% of a year, so during winter the Earth travels

0.2468 * (91.4 million mi) = 22.6 million mi

2. The average speed of a body over some time interval is the distance the body travels divided by the duration of time.

During the summer, the Earth moves at an average speed of

(151.2 million mi) / (93 days) = 1.63 million mi / day

During the winter, it moves at a speed of

(22.6 million mi) / (90 days) = 0.251 million mi / day

3. Use the distances/arc lengths found in (1) to determine the measure of the central angle θ subtended by the summer and winter arcs. In either case, the ratio of arc length to circumference is equal to the ratio between the central angle and one complete revolution (2π radians).

By the same token, the ratio of sector area A to the area of the whole circle (πr^2) is proportional to the ratio of the central angle to 2π rad.

Summer:

(151.2 million mi) / (2π * (94.5 million mi)) = θ / (2π rad)

==> θ = 1.6 rad

A / (π * (94.5 million mi)^2) = (1.6 rad) / (2π rad)

==> A = 7144.2 million square mi

Winter:

(22.6 million mi) / (2π * (91.4 million mi)) = θ / (2π rad)

==> θ = 0.2473 rad

A / (π * (91.4 million mi)^2) = (0.2473 rad) / (2π rad)

==> A = 1033.0 million square mi

In women’s tennis, a player must win 2 out of 3 sets to win a match. If a player wins the first 2 sets, she wins the match and t

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

1)All possible sequences of events V and M by set played that will result in Player V winning the match = VV; MVV; VMV

2) All possible sequences of events V and M by set played that will result in Player M winning the match:

MM; VMM; MVM

3) The probability player V wins the match = 0.4575

4) Probability that a match between Player V and Player M will consist of 3 sets given that Player V wins the match. = 0.3443

The expected number of sets played when Player V competes in a match with Player M = 2.35

Explanation:

Given:

Event player V wins a set = V

Event player M wins a set = M

1)All possible sequences of events V and M by set played that will result in Player V winning the match = VV; MVV; VMV

2) All possible sequences of events V and M by set played that will result in Player M winning the match:

MM; VMM; MVM

3) The probability player V wins the match:

P(V) = P(VV) + P(MVV) + P(VMV)

P(VV) means probability player V wins first and second set. In the first set she had an equal chance of winning, i.e 50%. We are told if she wins first set, probability of winning second set is 0.60.

Therefore, P(VV) = 0.50 * 0.60

= 0.30

P(MVV) means player V lost the first set, but won the remaining two sets.

P(MVV) = 0.50 *(1-0.70) * 0.45

= 0.0675

VMV means player V won the first set, lost the second, and won the third set.

P(VMV) = 0.50 * (1-0.60) * 0.45

= 0.09

Therefore

P(VV) + P(MVV) + P(VMV)

= 0.30 + 0.0675 + 0.09

= 0.4575

Probability V wins is 0.4575

4) Probability that a match between Player V and Player M will consist of 3 sets given that Player V wins the match.

Here it means player V must lose one of the first two sets, but will still win the match.

Calculating, we have:

$\frac{P(MVV) + P(VMV)}{P(V)}$

$= \frac{0.0675 + 0.09}{0.4575}$

= 0.344262 ≈ 0.3443

5) The expected number of sets played when Player V competes in a match with Player M.

Let's first find the probability 2 sets are played.

P(2) = P(VV) + P(MM)

We know P(VV) = 0.30

P(MM) = 0.50 * 0.70 = 0.35

Therefore, P(2) = 0.30 + 0.35

P(2)= 0.65

Let's now find probability of 3 sets happening.

P(3) = P(2) not happening

Therefore

P(3) = 1 - P(2)

P(3) = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

Since probability of 2 sets is 0.65 and probability of 3 sets is 0.35, the expected number of sets will be :

(2 * 0.65) + (3 * 0.35)

= 1.30 + 1.05 = 2.35

The expected number of sets = 2.35
