Alice and her two sisters, Betty and Carol, are avid tennis players. Betty is the best of the three sisters, and Carol plays at the same level as Alice. Alice defeats Carol 50% of the time but only defeats Betty 40% of the time. Alice’s mother offers to give her $100 if she can win two consecutive games when playing three alternating games against her two sisters. Since the games will alternate, Alice has two possibilities for the sequence of opponents. One possibility is to play the first game against Betty, followed by a game with Carol, and then another game with Betty. We will refer to this sequence as BCB. The other possible sequence is CBC.
Calculate the probability of Alice getting the $100 reward if she chooses the sequence CBC.
Answer:
0.484
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Alice defeats Carol 50% of the time.
This implies that, the probability of defeating Carol = 0.5
Also the probability of losing to Carol = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
Similarly, Alice defeats Betty 40% of the time.
The probability of Alice defeating Betty = 0.4 and the probability of losing to Betty = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
However, in as much as Alice needs to win two consecutive games, the sequence which satisfies this condition are as follows:
Let W represent Win and L represent L.
Then the conditions are WWW, WWL and LWW
Since the outcome of each game is independent of the other games.
Then, the probability that Alice wins two games against Carol CBC is:
Pr(2W - CBC) = (0.5 × 0.4 × 0.5) + ( 0.5 × 0.4 × 0.5) + ( 0.5 × 0.4 × 0.5)
Pr(2W - CBC) = 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1
Pr(2W - CBC) = 0.3
The probability that Alice wins two games against Betty (BCB) is:
Pr(2W - BCB) = (0.4 × 0.5 × 0.4) + (0.6 × 0.5 × 0.4) + ( 0.4 × 0.5 × 0.6)
Pr(2W - BCB) = 0.08 + 0.12 + 0.12
Pr(2W - BCB) = 0.32
However, the Probability of winning two consecutive games is the result of the addition of the probability of winning two consecutive games in the sequence CBC together with the probability of winning two consecutive games in the sequence of BCB.
i.e.
Pr(2W) = Pr(2W- CBC) + Pr(2W - BCB)
Pr(2W) = 0.3+0.32
Pr(2W) = 0.62
Finally, to calculate the probability that Alice will get $100 if she chooses the sequence CBC is:
[tex]\dfrac{Pr(2W -CBC)}{Pr(2W)}= \dfrac{0.3}{0.62}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{Pr(2W -CBC)}{Pr(2W)}= 0.484}[/tex]
g Benton Industries manufactures carpets and draperies in the Atlanta area. Employee absenteeism was becoming a problem, so HR conducted a study involving a random sample of employees. The number of absences during the past year was tabulated by marital status. What is the probability that an employee is not married and has between 1 and 5 absences in the past year
Answer:
The probability that an employee is not married and has between 1 and 5 absences in the past year is 0.204.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of an event, say E is the ratio of the favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.
[tex]P(E)=\frac{n (E)}{N}[/tex]
The number of absences during the past year tabulated by marital status is as follows:
Marital Status 0 Absences 1 - 5 Absences More than 5 Absences
Married 100 98 52
Not Married 77 102 71
Compute the probability that an employee is not married and has between 1 and 5 absences in the past year as follows:
[tex]P(\text{NM}\cap 1-5\ \text{Absences})=\frac{n(\text{NM}\cap 1-5\ \text{Absences})}{N}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{102}{100+98+52+77+102+71}\\\\=\frac{102}{500}\\\\=0.204[/tex]
Thus, the probability that an employee is not married and has between 1 and 5 absences in the past year is 0.204.

Kara has 5 exams scores 58,73,85,83, and 79 in her biology class. What score does she need on the final exam to have a mean grade of 70
Her final exam will be her 6th exam. To determine the her final exam score we can use this equation:
Mean = All scores/6
70 = (58 + 73 + 85 + 83 + 79 + x )/6 ⇒ x stands for the final exam mark
70 = 378 + x /6 ⇒ Multiple both sides by 6 to cancel it out
420 = 378 + x ⇒ Subtract 378 from both sides to isolate x
420 - 378 = x
42 = x
Therefore, she must get at least 42% on her final to maintain a 70% average.

Alice walks along a road which can be modeled by the equation y=6x, where (0,0) represents her starting point. When she reaches a certain point A, she turns right, so that she is traveling perpendicular to the original road, until she stops at the point (333,0). What was the point A where Alice turned?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(9, 54)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first road has a slope of 6 on its graph. So, the perpendicular road will have a slope of -1/6, the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original road. Translating that from y=-1/6x the the right by 333 units, the equation of the second road is ...
y = -1/6(x -333)
The point where Alice turned is the point of intersection of these two equations:
y = 6xy = -1/6(x -333)Substituting for y, we have ...
6x = -1/6(x -333)
36x = -x +333 . . . . . multiply by 6, eliminate parentheses
37x = 333 . . . . . . . . add x
x = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 37
So, the point where Alice turned is ...
(x, y) = (9, 6·9)
(x, y) = (9, 54)

Horses A veterinarian measures a horse to be 7.5
ft tall at the shoulder to the nearest half foot. What
are the minimum and maximum possible heights of
the horse?
Answer:
Minimum height is 7.25ft and maximum height is 7.75ft
Step-by-step explanation:
You measured to the nearest half foot, so the greatest possible error is 0.25 foot.
Minimum height= measured value-possible error= 7.5-0.25= 7.25ft
Maximum height= measured value+possible error= 7.5+0.25= 7.75ft
Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is 15.4 and the height of the pyramid is 13.1. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.
The requried volume of the pyramid is 64.9 cubic meters.
What is volume?Volume is defined as the mass of the object per unit density while for geometry it is calculated as profile area multiplied by the length at which that profile is extruded.
The first step is to find the area of the square base. Since the perimeter of the base is 15.4, each side of the square has a length of:
15.4 / 4 = 3.85
Therefore, the area of the base is:
A = (3.85)² = 14.8225 square meters
The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula:
V = (1/3) * A * h
where A is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid. Substituting the values given in the problem, we get:
V = (1/3) * 14.8225 * 13.1
V = 64.91925 cubic meters
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter, we get:
V ≈ 64.9 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 64.9 cubic meters.
