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)
Answer:
1/2 or 50% probability
Step-by-step explanation:
There are just two players, player A and player B. Since it is between this two players, for player A to score first we would have:
AB where player A is the first player to score, we wouldn't have BA since player would not be the first here
Probability = number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes
Therefore probability of A being the first player = number of A/total number of players
=1/2 = 0.50
There is therefore a 50% chance of A being the first player
Answer:
The length of the fence needed to surround this garden is 188 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A fence is guarding off a vegetable garden in the form of a rectangle. It has one side that is 10 m greater than the other side.
To find : The length of the fence needed to surround this garden if the area of the vegetable garden is 2184 m² ?
Solution :
Let the one side of rectangle be 'x'.
Then the other side is 'x+10'.
The area of the rectangle is 2184 m²,
i.e. 

Solve by middle term split,




Reject negative value,
The side of the rectangle is 42 m.
The other side is 42+10=52 m
The perimeter of the rectangle is 



Therefore, the length of the fence needed to surround this garden is 188 meter.
Answer:
$4080
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the amount she will pay back, but first, we need to find the Interest accrued.
Simple Interest is given as:

where P = principal
R = rate
T = time taken (in years)
Therefore, the interest on $3,000 at 9% simple interest for 4 years is:

I = $1080
Therefore, the amount she will pay back is:
$3000 + $1080 = $4080
