In a casino in Blackpool there are two slot machines (machine 1 and machine 2): one that pays out 10 % of the time, and one that pays out 20 % of the time. Obviously, you would like to play on the machine that pays out 20% of the time but you do not know which of the two machines is the more generous. You thus adopt the following strategy: you assume initially that the two machines are equally likely to be the generous machine. You then select one of the two machines at random (this turns out to be machine 1) and put a coin into it. Given that you loose that first bet estimate the probability that machine 1 is the more generous of the two machines
What do I know?
What do I want to find out?
What do I expect the answer to be?
How do I go from what I know to what I want to find?
Is the answer consistent with what I expected?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that;

a)

2 machines, 1 and 2

Machine 1

pays 10% of times when the machine is generous

So the probability that the machine 1 pays given that its generous is

P (Pays/machine 1 is generous) = 10% = 0.10

Machine 2  

pays 20% of times when its generous

i.e the probability that the machine pays given that its generous is;

P (Pays / machine 2 is generous) = 20% = 0.20

Also we assume there is equal chance of being generous

i.e

P(machine 1 is generous) = P(machine 2 is generous ) = 0.5  

b)

this is to help obtain the probability that machine 1 is generous given that the player loose in the first bet,

i.e P(machine 1 is generous / lost)  

c)

Since, the probability that the machine is generous is 0.5,

it can be said that there is 50% chance that machine 1 is generous when the player loses the first bet

d)

therefore The required probability is calculated as;

P(machine 1 is generous/lost) = p(machine 1 is generous ∩ lost) / p (lost)

= [p(lost/machine 1 is generous) × p(machine 1 is generous)] / [{(1-p(pays/machine 1 is generous)) × p(machine 1 is generous)} + {((1-p(pays/machine 2 is generous)) × p(machine 2 is generous)}]

= [(1 - p(pays/machine 1 is hereous)) × p(machine 1 is generous)] × [(( 1- 0.10) × 0.5) + ((1 - 0.20) × 0.5)]

= ( 1- 0.10) × 0.5) / 0.85

= 0.5294

so  the probability that the player loses the first bet given that the machine is generous is 0.5294

e)

Since the gotten probability that the player loses the first bet given that machine 1 is generous is close to 0.50 then it can be said that the probability is consistent with the expectations.

Calculate the directional derivative of f(x, y) = cot-'(xy) in the direction of v = -4i + 5j at the point P = (0.5, 0.5).
Remember to normalize the direction vector.
DS(0.5, 0.5) =

Answers

Looks like f(x, y) = cot⁻¹(xy), as in the inverse cotangent.

If you're like me and you don't remember the derivative of the inverse trig functions, we can derive it as follows. Let y = cot⁻¹(x), so that for appropriate x we can write cot(y) = x. By the chain rule, differentiating both sides gives

-csc²(y) y' = 1

y' = -sin²(y) = -sin²(cot⁻¹(x)) = - 1 / (x² + 1)

Next, recall that the derivative of a function f(x, y) at a point (a, b) in the direction of a vector v is given by

f(a, b) • v

Compute the gradient ∇ f(x, y) :

f(x, y) = - y / ((xy)² + 1) i - x / ((xy)² + 1) j

At the point P, we have

f(x, y) = - 8/17 i - 8/17 j

So, the derivative of f at P along v = - 4 i + 5 j is

(- 8/17 i - 8/17 j) • (- 4 i + 5 j) = - 8/17

What is the measure of ZA degrees?​

Answers

Answer:

Since this is an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite to the equal sides will also be equal

Therefore,

angle ABC  = angle ACB

We are given that angle ACB  is 30 degrees

Hence, angle ABC = 30 degrees

We know that according to the angle sum property, the sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

So, angle ABC + angle ACB + angle CAB  = 180 degrees

replacing the variables with values we already know

30 + 30 + angle CAB = 180

angle CAB = 180 - 60

angle CAB = 120 degrees

Hence the measure of angle A is 120 degrees

What is an ordered pair?

An ordered pair is made up of two components isolated by a comma and put inside parentheses. (x, y) indicates an ordered pair, where 'x' is the first component and 'y' is the second component in the ordered pair.

The graph below represents the distance Manuel walks over several hours.

The first and second options are not accurate since the distance is measured in miles up to 10 miles, hence the options can't be correct

The correct answer is option D since the value at t = 1.5 is equal to 9 miles

Thus, the ordered pair is on the line (1.5, 9).

Answer:

a = (g +b)/cx = (u +2)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the variable in the expression and see what has been done to it. Here, 'a' has been multiplied by c, and b has been subtracted from the product. Undo those operations in reverse order.

Undo the subtraction of b by adding b to both sides.

  g +b = ca -b +b

  g +b = ca . . . . . note b is no longer subtracted from the product

Undo the multiplication by dividing both sides by c.

  (g +b)/c = (ca)/c

  (g +b)/c = a

  a = (g +b)/c

__

The second problem is worked exactly the same way.

  u = 2x -2

  u +2 = 2x . . . . . add 2 to both sides

  (u +2)/2 = x . . . . divide both sides by 2

  x = (u +2)/2

(2x + 25) y
(3x - 10)
solve to get the answers of the variables

Answers

Answer:

y = 65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

(this is what i remember from geometry at least so let me know if i got anything wrong)

2x+25 and 3x-10 are opposites which means they are equal to each other.

2x+25 = 3x-20 get the x values on the same side by subtracting 2 from both sides

25 = x-20 to get the x value alone add 20 to both sides

45 = x

now you can plug in x to either equation to find out what their degree is

2(45)+25 = 115 degrees

and since this equation and y are on the same line you can subtract 115 from 180 (a line is equal to 180 degrees) to find y

180-115 = 65 degrees

Each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines is called a vertical angle. The value of the variables x and y are 35 and 85, respectively.

What are vertical angles?

Each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines is called a vertical angle.

The angle measuring (2x+25)° and (3x-10)° are vertical angles. Therefore, we can write,

(2x + 25) = (3x - 10)

2x + 25 = 3x - 10

25 + 10 = 3x - 2x

x = 35

Also, in the given image the angle measuring (2x + 25)° and y° are supplementary angles, therefore, we can write,

(2x + 25)° + y° = 180°

2x + 25 + y = 180°

Substitute the value of x,

2(35) + 25 + y = 180

70 + 25 + y = 180

95 + y = 180

y = 85°

Hence, the value of the variables x and y are 35 and 85, respectively.
