Fischer and Spassky play a chess match in which the first player to win a game wins the match. After 10 successive draws, the match 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.
(a) What is the probability that Fischer wins the match?
(b) What is the PMF of the duration of the match?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a)

the probability that Fischer wins the match is 0.5714

b)

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

                                 [tex]0[/tex]                     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 ) = [tex]( 1 - p - q )^{d-1[/tex] ( p + q )

= [tex]( 1 - 0.4 - 0.3 )^{d-1[/tex] ( 0.4 + 0.3 )

p( D = d ) = [tex]( 0.3 )^{d-1[/tex] ( 0.7)

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

                                 [tex]0[/tex]                     otherwise

xy=80 solve log x- log y=1

Answers

Question: Solve for x and y in the equation.

xy=80 and log x - 2 log y =1

Answer:

x = 40, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

xy = 80.......................... Equation 1

logx-2logy = 1

logx-logy² = 1

Applying the laws of logarithm,

log(x/y²) = log10

x/y² = 10

x  = 10y²......................... Equation 2

Substitute the value of x in therms of y equation 2 into equation 1

10y²(y) = 80

10y³ = 80

y³ = 8

y = [tex]\sqrt[3]{8}[/tex]

y = 2.

Substitute the value of y into equation 1

2x = 80

x = 80/2

x = 40

Therefore,

x = 40, y = 2

Find the absolute minimum and absolute maximum values of f on the given interval. f(t) = 3 (*sqaure root sign*) t (20 − t), [0, 20]

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

maximum: 15∛5 ≈ 25.6496392002minimum: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum will be found at the ends of the interval, where f(t) = 0.

The maximum is found in the middle of the interval, where f'(t) = 0.

  [tex]f(t)=\sqrt[3]{t}(20-t)\\\\f'(t)=\dfrac{20-t}{3\sqrt[3]{t^2}}-\sqrt[3]{t}=\sqrt[3]{t}\left(\dfrac{4(5-t)}{3t}\right)[/tex]

This derivative is zero when the numerator is zero, at t=5. The function is a maximum at that point. The value there is ...

  f(5) = (∛5)(20-5) = 15∛5

The absolute maximum on the interval is 15∛5 at t=5.

a) In a simple random sample of 1000 faculty taken among all universities in a country, the number of papers published by the individual sampled faculty in the past year had a mean of 1.1 and an SD of 1.8. Does the Central Limit Theorem say that the distribution of the number of papers published by the individual sampled faculty in the past year is roughly normal

Answers

Answer:

According to the Central Limit theorem, the distribution is roughly normal

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem states that for sample sizes above 30 and not withstanding population distribution's shape, the sampling distribution of the sample mean becomes more similar t hat of a normal distribution as the sample size increases;

The size of the sample = 1,000 >> 30

As the sample size approaches infinity, we have;

[tex]z=\dfrac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\dfrac{S.D.}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]\overline x[/tex] = 1.5

S.D. = 1.8

n = 1000

Assume μ = 1, we get;

[tex]P(x > 1.1):z=\dfrac{1.1-1 }{\dfrac{1.8}{\sqrt{1000}}} = 1.7568[/tex]

P(z > 1.7568) = 1 - 0.96080 = 0.0392

Therefore, it is very likely that the mean of the population is not larger than the sample mean

Therefore, yes, the Central Limit Theorem say that the distribution of the number of papers published by the individual sampled faculty in the past year is roughly normal

Patty purchased rose bushes and geraniums for her yard. Patty spent $206 on 14
rose bushes and 12 geraniums. The price of a geranium is $5 less than twice the
cost of a rose bush. What is the cost of one rose bush?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r and g represent the costs of a rose bush and a geranium, respectively. The given relations are ...

  14r +12g = 206

  g = 2r -5

Using the second equation to substitute for g in the first equation, we have ...

  14r +12(2r -5) = 206

  38r -60 = 206

  38r = 266

  r = 266/38 = 7

The cost of one rose bush is $7.

What is an equation?

In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =.

Given that, there are 540 ways to make an ice cream sundae consisting of one flavor of ice cream, one topping, and one type of syrup.

Let the number of toppings be x.

So, 9×5×x=540

⇒ 45x=540

⇒ x=9

Therefore, the number of toppings in the ice cream cone are 9.

Draw the line of reflection that reflects △ABC onto triangle Δ A'B'C'

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the vertex A → (-4, -6)

Coordinates of the vertex A' → (6, 6)

Since, y-coordinates are same opposite in notation,

Therefore, by the rule of reflection, line of reflection will be a line parallel to y-axis.

And points A and A' will be equidistant from the line of reflection.

Midpoint between A and A' = [tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

                                              = [tex](\frac{-4+6}{2},\frac{-6+6}{2})[/tex]

                                              = (1, 0)

Therefore, x = 1 will be the line of reflection.
