Fischer and Spassky play a chess match in which the first player to win a game wins the match. After 10 successive draws, the ma

tch is declared drawn. Each game is won by Fischer with probability 0.4, is won by Spassky with probability 0.3, and is a draw with the probability 0.3 independent of previous games.

Answer:

a)

the probability that Fischer wins the match is 0.5714

b)

p( D = d ) = { ( 0.3  )^{d-1 (0.7),  d = 1, 2, 3, ........

                                 0                     otherwise

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

probability that Fischer wins the match, p = 4

probability that Spassky wins the match, q = 0.3

Match drawn, 1 - p - q = 1 - 0.4 - 0.3 = 0.7

(a) What is the probability that Fischer wins the match?

P( Fischer wins) = p/( p+q)

we substitute

P( Fischer wins) = 0.4 / ( 0.4 + 0.3)

P( Fischer wins) = 0.4 / 0.7

P( Fischer wins) = 0.5714

Therefore, the probability that Fischer wins the match is 0.5714

b) What is the PMF of the duration of the match?

let D represent the duration of the match

since the duration D of the match is a geometric random variable with parameter p + q,

the PMF will be;

p( D = d ) = ( 1 - p - q  )^{d-1 ( p + q )

= ( 1 - 0.4 - 0.3  )^{d-1 ( 0.4 + 0.3 )

p( D = d ) = ( 0.3  )^{d-1 ( 0.7)

that is, p( D = d ) = { ( 0.3  )^{d-1 (0.7),  d = 1, 2, 3, ........

                                 0                     otherwise

Solve for x. 12x+252=324
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

12x+252=324

Subtract 252 from each side

12x+252-252=324-252

12x =72

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x =6
