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

Answers

Answer:

SEE BELOW

Step-by-step explanation:

to understand thisyou need to know about:quadratic functionPEMDASlet's solve:

vertex:(h,k)

therefore

vertex:(-1,4)

axis of symmetry:x=h

therefore

axis of symmetry:x=-1

to find the quadratic equation we need to figure out the vertex form of quadratic equation and then simply it to standard form i.e ax²+bx+c=0

vertex form of quadratic equation:

y=a(x-h)²+k

therefore

y=a(x-(-1))²+4y=a(x+1)²+4

it's to notice that we don't know what a is

therefore we have to figure it out

the graph crosses y-asix at (0,3) coordinates

so,

3=a(0+1)²+4

simplify parentheses:

[tex]3 = a(1 {)}^{2} + 4[/tex]

simplify exponent:

[tex]3 = a + 4[/tex]

therefore

[tex]a = - 1[/tex]

our vertex form of quadratic equation is

y=-(x+1)²+4

let's simplify it to standard form

simplify square:

[tex]y = - ( {x}^{2} + 2x + 1) + 4[/tex]

simplify parentheses:

[tex]y = - {x}^{2} - 2x - 1 + 4[/tex]

simplify addition:

[tex]y = - {x}^{2} - 2x + 3[/tex]

therefore our answer is D)y=-x²-2x+3

the domain of the function

[tex]x\in \mathbb{R}[/tex]

and the range of the function is

[tex]y\leqslant 4[/tex]

zeroes of the function:

[tex] - {x}^{2} - 2x + 3 = 0[/tex]

[tex] \sf divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 1[/tex]

[tex] {x}^{2} + 2x - 3 = 0[/tex]

[tex] \implies \: {x}^{2} + 3x - x + 3 = 0[/tex]

factor out x and -1 respectively:

[tex] \sf \implies \: x(x + 3) - 1(x + 3 )= 0[/tex]

group:

[tex] \implies \: (x - 1)(x + 3) = 0[/tex]

therefore

The percentage of obese children aged 12-19 years in the United States is approximately P(t) = 0.04t + 4.6 if 0 ≤ t < 10 −0.01005t2 + 0.945t − 3.4 if 10 ≤ t ≤ 30 where t is measured in years, with t = 0 corresponding to the beginning of 1970. What was the percentage of obese children aged 12-19 at the beginning of 1975? At the beginning of 1985? At the beginning of 1990?† (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 1975 % 1985 % 1990 %

Answers

Answer:

1975------ 4.8%

1990 ------ 11.48%

1985 ------ 8.51%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P(t) = 0.04t + 4.6[/tex] if 0 ≤ t < 10

[tex]P(t) = -0.01005t^2 + 0.945t - 3.4[/tex] if 10 ≤ t ≤ 30

Where

t:=0 implies year = 1970

Solving (a): Beginning of 1975.

First, we calculate the value of t

[tex]t = 1975 - 1970[/tex]

[tex]t = 5[/tex]

This falls in the range: 0 ≤ t < 10

So:

[tex]P(t) = 0.04t + 4.6[/tex]

[tex]P(5) = 0.04 * 5 + 4.6[/tex]

[tex]P(5) = 4.80[/tex]

Solving (b): Beginning of 1990.

[tex]t = 1990 - 1970[/tex]

[tex]t = 20[/tex]

This falls in the range: 10 ≤ t ≤ 30

So:

[tex]P(t) = -0.01005t^2 + 0.945t - 3.4[/tex]

[tex]P(20) = -0.01005*20^2 + 0.945*20 - 3.4[/tex]

[tex]P(20) = 11.48[/tex]

Solving (c): Beginning of 1985

[tex]t = 1985 - 1970[/tex]

[tex]t = 15[/tex]

This falls in the range: 10 ≤ t ≤ 30

So:

[tex]P(t) = -0.01005t^2 + 0.945t - 3.4[/tex]

[tex]P(15) = -0.01005*15^2 + 0.945*15 - 3.4[/tex]

[tex]P(15) = 8.51375[/tex]

[tex]P(15) = 8.51[/tex]

A Rubik's Cube has a volume of 10 cm
1) Write an equation to find the length of the sides.
2) Find the length of the side to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

The formula to find the value of the side is X ^ 3 = 10, and the side measures 2.15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a Rubik's Cube has a volume of 10 cm, to write an equation to find the length of the sides and find the length of the side to the nearest tenth, the following calculations must be performed, knowing that the volume of a cube is obtained to enhance one of its sides to the third:

X ^ 3 = 10

X = 3√ 10

X = 2.15

Thus, the formula to find the value of the side is X ^ 3 = 10, and the side measures 2.15 cm.

QR has a midpoint at M(8,8). Point R is at (10, 10). Find the coordinates of point Q. Write the coordinates as decimals or integers.​

Answers

Answer:

Point Q:  ( 6, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

    (10, 10)

- 2 (8, 8)

      ( 6, 6)

Answer:

Point Q is at (6, 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment QR has a midpoint M at (8, 8).

Point R is at (10, 10), and we want to determine the location of Point Q.

First, recall that the midpoint is given by the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle M=\Big(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\Big)[/tex]

We will let R(10, 10) be (x₁, y₁). We are also given that M is at (8, 8). Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle (8, 8)=\Big(\frac{10+x}{2}, \frac{10+y}{2}\Big)[/tex]

This gives us two cases:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{10+x}{2}=8\text{ and } \frac{10+y}{2}=8[/tex]

Solve for each case. Multiply both sides by 2:

[tex]10+x=16\text{ and } 10+y=16[/tex]

And we can subtract 10 from both sides:

[tex]x=6\text{ and } y=6[/tex]

Therefore, Point Q is at (6, 6).

Mendel formulated the law of independent assortment as his second law of inheritance. It involvestwo genes independently segregated during reproduction, each independently determining one aspectof the phenotype. In one experiment, Mendel crossed pea plants producing yellow, round seeds withpea plants producing green, wrinkled seeds. The first generation resulted in only plants producingyellow, round seeds. Self-crossing of the F1 yielded the following phenotypes in F2:

c. Calculate the value of the chi-square test statistic.
d. Do the data agree with Mendel’s second law of genetic inheritance?
e. Compare your results by chisq.test in R to perform the test?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

total = 315+101+108+32 = 556

total ratio = 9+3+3+1 = 16

1.

h0 : data follows ratio 9:3:3:1

h1: data does not follow ratio 9:3:3:1

2. expected counts under h0

Ei = expected count, i = 1,2,3,4

count 315

ratio = 9

Ei = 9*556/16

= 312.75

count 101

ratio = 3

Ei = 3*556/16

= 104.25

count 1o8

Ei 3 x 556/16

= 104.25

count 32

= 1*556/16

= 34.75

total = 312.75+104.25+104.25+34.75 = 556

c. value of chi² test stat

a. Oi = 315

Ei = 312.75

b. (101-104.25)²/104.25

x² = 0.101318944

c. (108-104.25)²/104.25

d. (32-34.75)²/34.75

Chi² test stat = 0.01618705+0.101318944+0.134892086+0.217625859

n = 4

df = 4-1 = 3

test stat = 0.4700

critical x² = 7.814736

p value = 0.9254

α < pvalue
