Two gamblers, call them Gambler A and Gambler B flip a coin repeatedly. The coin is unfair and comes up heads 2/3 of the time. G

ambler A wins one dollar from Gambler B, when a head is tossed. Conversely Gambler B wins one dollar from Gambler A when a tail is tossed. The coin tosses are independent. The game ends when one of the gamblers runs out of money. There are 5 dollars in the pot. Determine the probability that Gambler A wins the game if he starts with I dollars. Here I

Answer:

≈ 0.52

Step-by-step explanation:

P( head ) = 2/3 , P( tail ) = 1/3

when a head is tossed ; Gambler A wins $1

when a tail is tossed : Gambler B wins $1

<u>Determine the P( Gambler A wins the game ) if he starts with I dollars</u>

Assuming I = $1

n = 5

p ( head ) = P( winning ) = 0.66

p( losing ) = 0.33

applying the conditional probability in Markov which is ;

Pₓ = pPₓ₊₁ + (1 - p) Pₓ₋₁

P( 1) = 0.66P₂ + 0.33P₀

resolving the above using with Markov probability

P( 1 ) = 0.51613

hence the probability of Gambler A winning the game if he starts with $1

≈ 0.52

What is the measurement of ULE?
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

  ∠ULE = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle marked 109° is the sum of the remote interior angles marked 49° and x.

  109° = 49° + ∠ULE

  ∠ULE = 109° -49°

  ∠ULE = 60°

I don’t think this question can be solved without the measurements of the box. If you could re-upload this question with a picture of the box or with the measurements that would be great :)

9 packages of grape cost $24 how many packages of grapes can you buy for $8
Leto [7]
Ok. First you have to find the unit rate. Since you can buy 9 packages of grapes for $24, then you can get 1 grape package for $2.6667. If you have $8, you can buy 3 packages of grapes.

(Geometry course question) Explain why it is not possible to construct an equilateral triangle that has
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

  √3 is irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of the third point of a triangle can be found using a rotation matrix to transform the coordinates of the given points.

<h3 /><h3>Location of point C</h3>

With reference to the attached figure, the slope of line AC is √3, an irrational number. This means the line AC <em>never passes through a point with integer coordinates</em>. (Any point with integer coordinates would be on a line with rational slope.)

<h3>Equilateral triangle</h3>

The line segments making up an equilateral triangle are separated by an angle of 60°. If two vertices are on grid squares, the third must be a rotation of one of them about the other through an angle of 60°. The rotation matrix is irrational, so the rotated point must have irrational coordinates.

The math of it is this. For rotation of (x, y) counterclockwise 60° about the origin, the transformation matrix is ...

  \left[\begin{array}{cc}\cos(60^\circ)&\sin(60^\circ)\\-\sin(60^\circ)&\cos(60^\circ)\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}x'\\y'\end{array}\right]

Cos(60°) is rational, but sin(60°) is not. For any non-zero rational values of x and y, the sum ...

  cos(60°)·x + sin(60°)·y

will be irrational.

As in the attached diagram, if one of the coordinates of the rotated point (B) is zero, then one of the coordinates of its image (C) will be rational. The other image point coordinate cannot be rational.
