Ann and Bill play rock-paper-scissors. Each has a strategy of choosing uniformly at random out of the three possibilities every

round (independently of the other player and the previous choices). (a) What is the probability that Ann wins the first round? (Remember that the round could end in a tie.) (b) What is the probability that Ann’s first win happens in the fourth round? (c) What is the probability that Ann’s first win comes after the fourth round?

Answer:

a) Ann has a 1/3 chance of winning in the first round

b) The chance of Ann winning for the first time in the fourth round is 8/81

c) The probability that Ann's first win occurs after the fourth round is 16/81

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Each strategy is played with a probability of 1/3. Given any strategy, there’s a 1/3 chance that Bill will choose the strategy that allows Ann to win. Consequently, the probability of Ann securing a victory in the first round (or any round) is

1/3 * 1/3 + 1/3 * 1/3 + 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 = 1/3.

Thus, the likelihood of Ann winning the initial round is 1/3.

b) The chances of Ann winning a round stand at 1/3; therefore, her chances of not winning are 2/3. This must happen three times before her first victory. Thus, the probability that Ann's first win occurs in the fourth round is

(2/3)³ * 1/3 = 8/81.

c) The first victory happens after the fourth round if she remains unsuccessful in the first four rounds, translating to a possibility of (2/3)⁴ = 16/81.

Explain how you can determine the number of real number solutions of a system of equations in which one equation is linear and t
babunello [3635]

Answer:

To find the number of genuine solutions for a system of equations consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation

1) With two variables, say x and y, rearrange the linear equation to express y, then substitute this y in the quadratic equation

After that, simplify the resulting equation and determine the number of real roots utilizing the quadratic formula, x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\cdot a\cdot c}}{2\cdot a} for equations of the type 0 = a·x² - b·x + c.

When b² exceeds 4·a·c, two real solutions emerge; if b² equals 4·a·c, there will be a single solution.

Find x if a =13 and C = 47 need help
Inessa [3907]

You can utilize the Pythagorean theorem expressed as a^2 + b^2 = c^2... if b is unknown, you can rearrange the formula. Hence, c^2 - a^2 = b^2. Squaring 47 gives 2209 and squaring 13 yields 169... Subtracting gives you 2209-169, which results in 2040. Taking the square root of that yields approximately 45.166359, which can be rounded to 45 or as 45.167 when expressed to two decimal places. I hope this helps!:)
