A soft drink company holds a contest in which a prize may be revealed on the inside of the bottle cap. The probability that each

bottle cap reveals a prize is 0.2 and winning is independent from one bottle to the next. What is the probability that a customer must open three or more bottles before winning a prize

Answer:

We conclude that the probability that a customer must open three or more bottles before winning a prize is P=0.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the probability that each bottle cap reveals a prize is 0.2 and winning is independent from one bottle to the next.

Therefore, we get p=0.2 and q=1-p=1-0.2=0.8.

So we will calculate the probability that the buyer will not win the prize in the first and second bottles. We get:

P=0.8\cdot0.8=0.64

We conclude that the probability that a customer must open three or more bottles before winning a prize is P=0.64.

Answer:

The probability that the customer must open 3 or more bottles before finding a prize is 0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a customer to have to open at least 3 bottles before winning a prize, then the first two bottles shouldnt have a price. The probability that a bottle doesnt have a price is 1-0.2 = 0.8. Since the bottles are independent from each other, then the probability that 2 bottles dont have a prize is 0.8² = 0.64. Therefore, the probability that the customer must open 3 or more bottles before finding a prize is 0.64

Multiplying StartFraction 3 Over StartRoot 17 EndRoot minus StartRoot 2 EndRoot EndFraction by which fraction will produce an eq
ziro4ka [17]

The fraction which produce an equivalent fraction with a rational denominator is \left(\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}\right)

Explanation:

The equation is \frac{3}{\sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2}}

To find the rational denominator, let us take conjugate of the denominator and multiply the conjugate with both numerator and denominator.

Rewriting the equation, we have,

\frac{3}{\sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}\right)

Multiplying, we get,

\frac{3(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{17})^{2}-(\sqrt{2})^{2}}

Simplifying the denominator, we get,

\frac{3(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2})}{17-2}

Subtracting, the values of denominator,

\frac{3(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2})}{15}

Dividing the numerator and denominator,

\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{5}

Hence, the denominator has become a rational denominator.

Thus, the fraction which produce an equivalent fraction with a rational denominator is \left(\frac{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}}\right)

In a game of cornhole, Sasha tossed a bean bag and it landed at the edge of the hole. The hole can be represented by the equatio
Nitella [24]

In the game of cornhole, when Sasha tossed a bean bag to the edge of the hole, in which the equations of the hole and bean bag's path are x² + y² = 5 and y = 0.5x² + 1.5x - 4, respectively, she could have tossed her bean bag to the points (1, -2) or (2, 1).              

 

To find the points in which she could have tossed her bean bag, we need to intersect the two equations of the function as follows.

<u>The equation for the hole</u>

x^{2} + y^{2} = 5   (1)

<u>The equation for the path of the bean bag</u>

y = 0.5x^{2} + 1.5x - 4    (2)

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:  

x^{2} + (0.5x^{2} + 1.5x - 4)^{2} = 5

x^{2} + 0.25x^{4} + 1.5x^{3} - 4x^{2} + 2.25x^{2} - 12x + 16 = 5    

0.25x^{4} + 1.5x^{3} - 0.75x^{2} - 12x + 11 = 0

By solving for <em>x</em>, we have:

x₁ = 1

x₂ = 2

Now, for <em>y</em> we have (eq 2):

  • <u>x₁ = 1</u>    

y_{1} = 0.5(1)^{2} + 1.5(1) - 4 = -2

  • <u>x₂ = 2</u>

y_{2} = 0.5(2)^{2} + 1.5(2) - 4 = 1                                              

Therefore, the points are (1, -2) or (2, 1).
