Answer and explanation:
The gambler's fallacy is the fallacy of belief that if an event such as a loss occurs more frequently in the past, it is less likely to happen in the future. We assume here that this belief is true, therefore
If she loses, her probability of winning increases =3/4
If she wins, her probability to win is normal =1/2
Given that probability of winning is 1/2
Probability of losing is 1-1/2=1/2
Probability that she wins the tournament is probability that she wins the first two games and loses the last or wins the first game, loses the second and wins the last or loses the first game and wins the last two games or probability that she wins all three games
=1/2*1/2*1/2+1/2*1/2*3/4+1/2*3/4*1/2+1/2*1/2*1/2
=25/48
Probability of winning the tournament if she loses the first game
=1/2*3/4*1/2= 3/16
Note: whenever there is "or" in probability, you add
Answer:
90 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Find how much money you have by plugging in 18 as n into the expression:
5n
5(18)
Multiply:
= 90
So, when you have 18 nickels, you have 90 cents
Answer:answer is a (x+8)^2=86
Step-by-step explanation:
x+8=±√

2 Break down the problem into these 2 equations.
x+8=\sqrt{86}x+8=√
86
x+8=-\sqrt{86}x+8=−√
86
3 Solve the 1st equation: x+8=\sqrt{86}x+8=√
86
.
x=\sqrt{86}-8x=√

Answer:
6.1 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Always draw a diagram! And now pythagorean theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Substitution:
a^2 + 2.8^2 = 6.7^2
a^2 + 7.84 = 44.89
a^2 = 37.05
a = 6.086...
Rounding <u>up</u> to one decimal point, thats 6.1 m
