Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

decrease 7%

100 - 7% = 93

increase 12%

93 + 12% = 104.16

104.16 - 100 = 4.16%

Suppose that on each play of a game, a gambler either wins 1 with probability p or loses 1 with probability 1–p (or q). The gamb

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information,

Considering both cases when p = 0.5 and when p ≠ 0.5

the probability that the gambler will quit an overall winner is:

$P = \dfrac{1 - (\dfrac{1-p}{p} )^K}{1- (\dfrac{1-p}{p})^N } \ \ \ is \ p \neq 0.5 \ and\ K/N = \dfrac{1}{2}$

where ;

N.k = n and k = m

Hence, the probability changes to:

$P = \dfrac{1 -(\dfrac{1-p}{p})^m}{1 -(\dfrac{1-p}{p})^{m+n}}$ is p ≠ 0.5 and k/N = $\dfrac{m}{m+n}$ is P = 0.5

What is the relationship between the conversion factors used in Part A of Model 2? Whatabout the conversion factors used in Part

Lelu [443]

Given:

The conversions from meter to inches and inches to meter are shown in part A of model 2.

The conversions from liters to quarts and quarts to liters are shown in part B of model 2.

Required:

To find the relationship between the conversion factors used in Part A of Model 2.

To find the relationship in the the conversion factors used in Part B of Model 2.

Explanation:

We have given that 1 meter = 39.4 inches.

Thus, from the calculations shown in part A of model 2, we can conclude that the quantity from meters to inches is converted as:

$1.5\times39.4=59$

Thus, 1.5 m =59 inches.

Also, the quantity from inches to meters is converted as:

$\frac{59}{39.4}=1.5$

Hence, 59 in = 1.5 m.

Next,

We have 1 L = 1.06 qt.

Thus, from the calculations shown in part B of model 2, we can conclude that the quantity from quarts to liters is converted as:

$\frac{186}{1.06}=175$

Thus, 186 quarts = 175 L.

Also, the quantity from liters to quarts is converted as:

$175\times1.06=186$

Hence, 175 L = 186 qt.

Final Answer:

We conclude that:

While converting from meters to inches, we multiply the quantity 1.5 by the equality quantity given.

While converting from incehs to meters, we divide the quantity 59 by the equality quantity given.

Also, While converting from quarts to liters, we divide the quntity 186 by the equality quantity given.

While converting from liters to quarts, we multiply the quntity 175 by the equality quantity given.

Consider the line y=-1/2x+8

OverLord2011 [107]

Given parameters:

Equation of the line is y = - $\frac{1}{2} x$ + 8

Unknown:

Slope of line parallel to this line = ?

Slope of line perpendicular = ?

Solution:

A line parallel to this line will have the same slope with it.

A line perpendicular will have the negative inverse of this slope;

Slope of line = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Slope of line parallel to this line = $-\frac{1}{2}$

Slope of line perpendicular = negative inverse = -( -( $\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2} }$ )) = 2

So, the slope of line parallel to this line is - 1/2 and that perpendicular is 2
