Derek Jeter challenges Albert Pujols to a batting battle. Each will earn 1 point for a hit other than a home run and 4 points for a home run in each round. Which player should you back given the statistics in the table below? Note that home runs are included as hits in the table. Data for Two Batters Batter At Bats Hits Home Runs Jeter 488 156 9 Pujols 448 125 26 E(Jeter) = 0. 38 and E(Pujols) = 0. 45, so back Pujols. E(Jeter) = 0. 39 and E(Pujols) = 0. 51, so back Pujols. E(Jeter) = 0. 34 and E(Pujols) = 0. 34, so it doesn’t matter who you back. E(Jeter) = 1. 22 and E(Pujols) = 0. 94, so back Jeter.

Answer 1

The player that should be backed is specified by: Option B:  E(Jeter) = 0. 39 and E(Pujols) = 0. 51, so back Pujols.

How to find the mean (expectation) of a random variable?

Supposing that the considered random variable is discrete, we get:

[tex]Mean = E(X) = \sum_{\forall x_i} f(x_i)x_i[/tex]

where [tex]x_i; \: \: i = 1,2, ... ,n[/tex] is its n data values

and [tex]f(x_i)[/tex] is the probability of   [tex]X = x_i[/tex]

How to calculate the probability of an event?

Suppose that there are finite elementary events in the sample space of the considered experiment, and all are equally likely.

Then, suppose we want to find the probability of an event E.

Then, its probability is given as

[tex]P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text{Number of total cases}} = \dfrac{n(E)}{n(S)}[/tex]

where favorable cases are those elementary events who belong to E, and total cases are the size of the sample space.

For the considered case, the scores of Pujols and Jeter are specified as:

                Bats      Hits      Home runs

Jetter         488      156           9

Pujols        448       125           26

The points that will be earned are:

On each hit : 1 point

On each home run: 4 points

From the statistics specified , the probability of Jetter scoring hits is estimated as:

[tex]P(\text{Jetter scoring hits})=\dfrac{\text{n(hits by Jetter)}}{\text{n(total bats for Jetter)}} = \dfrac{156}{488}\\\\[/tex]

The probability of Jetter scoring home run is estimated as:

[tex]P(\text{Jetter scoring home runs})=\dfrac{\text{n(home runs by Jetter)}}{\text{n(total bats for Jetter)}} = \dfrac{9}{488}\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, we get:

E(Jetter's score) = Score for hits × hits probability by Jetter + Score for home runs × home run's probability by Jetter

E(Jetter's score) = [tex]1 \times \dfrac{156}{488} + 4 \times\dfrac{9}{488} = \dfrac{192}{488} \approx 0.39[/tex]

Similarly, from the statistics specified , the probability of Pujol scoring hits is estimated as:

[tex]P(\text{Pujols scoring hits})=\dfrac{\text{n(hits by Pujols)}}{\text{n(total bats for Pujols)}} = \dfrac{125}{448}\\\\[/tex]

The probability of Pujol scoring home run is estimated as:

[tex]P(\text{Pujols scoring home runs})=\dfrac{\text{n(home runs by Pujols)}}{\text{n(total bats for Pujols)}} = \dfrac{26}{448}\\\\[/tex]

E(Pujol's score) = Score for hits × hit's probability by Pujol + Score for home runs × home run's probability by Pujol

E(Pujol's score) = [tex]1 \times \dfrac{125}{448} + 4 \times\dfrac{26}{448} = \dfrac{229}{448} \approx 0.51[/tex]

Thus, the player that should be backed is specified by: Option B:  E(Jeter) = 0. 39 and E(Pujols) = 0. 51, so back Pujols.

It is the method to separate the polynomial into parts and the parts will be in multiplication. And the value of the polynomial at this point will be zero.

The area of the rectangle is x² + 3x – 10.

On factorization, we have

Step-by-step explanation:

a full circle has 360°.

so, since each individual result is represented by an amount of degrees, the total sum of all results must be 360°.

labour = 360 - 136 - 34 - 54 - 14 = 122°

the fraction 122/360 represents the 183 votes for labour.

122/360 = 183

the fraction 1/1 = 1 then represents the total number of votes in the whole system.

61/180 = 183

1/180 = 3

1 = 3×180 = 540

540 pupils voted altogether.

Some boats were traveling up and down a river. A satellite recorded the movements of several boats.

A motor boat traveled -3.4 miles per hour for 0.75 hours. How far did it go? miles
A tugboat traveled -1.5 miles in 0.3 hours. What was its velocity? miles per hour

Answers

Answer:

3a) 2.55 miles

3b) -5 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

3a)

In this problem, we want to know the distance travelled by the boat.

For a boat in uniform motion (=constant speed), the distance travelled can be written as

d=vtd=vt

where:

d is the distance travelled

v is the speed

t is the time

For the motor boat in this problem, we have:

v = 3.4 mi/h (we ignore the negative sign, because it only refers to the direction, but here we are considering the speed, which is a scalar and has no direction)

t = 0.75 h is the time

Therefore, the distance travelled is

D= (3.4)(0.75 = 2.55 miles

3b)

The velocity of an object is the ratio between its displacement (change in position) and time taken.

Since velocity is a vector, it has both a magnitude and a direction: so in this case, we also have to consider the sign when expressing the velocity.

The velocity is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}v=

t

d

where

d is the displacement

t is the time taken

For the tugboat in this problem,

d = -1.5 mi is the displacement

t = 0.3 h is the time taken

So, its velocity is

v=\frac{-1.5}{0.3}=-5 mi/hv=

0.3

−1.5

= -5 mi/h

And the negative sign indicates that the boat is moving in the negative direction.

-5 mi/hi hope this helps :)

How to measure the rate of change of something as some other value changes?

Suppose that we have to measure the rate of change of y as x changes, then we have:

[tex]Rate = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

where we have

[tex]\rm when \: x=x_1, y = y_1\\when\: x = x_2, y= y_2[/tex]

Remember that, we divide by the change in independent variable so that we get some idea of how much the dependent quantity changes as we change the independent quantity by 1 unit.

(5 change per 3 unit can be rewritten as 5/3 change per 1 unit)


For the considered case, we can take time spent as difference of independent variable, and the amount of pools filled as the corresponding difference of the dependent variable.

in 12 hour time interval total 13 pools were filled.

That means

Rate of filling the pool is 13 pools per 12 hours or [tex]\dfrac{13}{12}[/tex] pools per hour.

Thus, at the considered rate the fraction of pool that is filled per hour is 13/12

PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the figure has 4 congruent sides and 4 right angles and is therefore a square, then

8x - 15 = 3x + 11 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

5x - 15 = 11 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = 26 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 5.2

Answer:

It's a square

x = 26/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, since all the sides are equal (shown by the 3 lines in the sides) and all the angles are 90 degrees (show by the little squares in the corners), I believe the shape is a square.

Because the sides are equal, you would set up the equation by making the two expressions equal to each other:

3x + 11 = 8x - 15

The next step is to get the variable (x) on only one of the sides. You can do this by subtracting 3x from both sides or by subtracting 8x from both sides. I will subtract 3x here just so the new number can be positive, but either will work.

3x + 11 = 8x - 15

-3x -3x

0 + 11 = 5x - 15

Now, you isolate the x by adding 15 to both sides. Remember, whatever you do to one side, you must also do it to the other side of the equal sign.

11 = 5x - 15

+15 +15

26 = 5x

Lastly, get rid of the number in front of the x so that x is alone on a side of the equal sign. You do this by dividing both sides by 5.

x = 26/5

Now, you can either make this into a mixed number or a decimal or keep it how it is. I hope this helps :]
