Two boys play basketball in the following way. They take turns shooting and stop when a basket is made. Player A goes first with

a probability p1 of making a basket on any throw. Player B, who shoots second, has probability 2 p of making a basket. The outcomes of the successive trials are assumed to be independent. (a) Find the probability mass function for the total number of attempts. (b) What is the probability that player A wins

Answer:

P(A) = p1 (1 − q1q2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = player A wins,

then  P(A) = p1 + (1 − p1)(1 − p2)P(A)

⇒ P(A) = p1 (1 − q1q2)

No it does NOT make sense to state density in kilograms per square meter.  Density has to be stated in terms of mass per unit of volume and NOT per unit of area.

SVEN [57.7K]
Based on the conditions given above, the number of bacteria at any time t (in hours) is calculated by the equation,
                                         at = (a1)(2^t/2)

where a1 is the initial number of bacteria and at is the number at any time t. Substituting the givens,
                                      a6 = (103)(2^6/2) = 824 

Thus, there are 824 bacteria after 6 hours.

7.1x10^-2 as an ordinary number
Sonja [21]
Hey there,

So let's start off with one part of this equation . . . 


10^{-2} would be 0.01.

So, we have 0.01 has our answer (so far).
 
Then we would do 7.1 × 0.01, this would give us  . . .

0.071.

Your correct and final answer would be \boxed{0.071}

Hope this helps you!

Talia is packing a moving box. She has a square-framed poster with an area of 4 square feet. The cube-shaped box has a volume of
yan [13]

Answer:

Length of sides of poster = 2 Ft

Length of sides of box = 2.41 Ft

Since the box has a longer side than the poster, the poster will lie flat when placed in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if the poster will lie flat in the box or not, we will determine the length of the sides of the poster and the box, if the length of the side of the square poster is smaller than that of the box, it will lie flat. This is calculated as follows:

Area of poster = 4 square feet

Area of poster =  (Length)²

4 = (Length)²

∴ Length = √(4)

Length of poster = 2 Ft

Volume of box = 14 cubic feet

Volume of box = (Length)³

14 = (Length)³

∴ Length = ∛(14)

Length = 2.41 Ft

∴ Length of sides of poster = 2 Ft

Length of sides of box = 2.41 Ft

Since the box has a longer side than the poster, the poster will lie flat when placed in the box.
