Apopular computer card game keeps track of the number of games played and the number of games won on that computer. the cards are shuffled before each game, so the outcome of the game is independent from one game to the next and is based on the skill of the player. let x represent the number of games that have been won out of 100 games. under which of the following situations would x be a binomial random variable?
(a) all games were played by the same player, whose skill improved over the course of the 100 games.
(b) a group of 5 players of different skill levels were each allowed to play 20 games in a row.
(c) a group of players of different skill levels were each allowed to play until they had lost 3 games and this resulted in 100 games played.
(d) two players of equal skill level each played from day to day. game a day for 50 days and their skill level did not change one.
(e) two players of different skill levels competed by allowing one player to continue until a game was lost, then the other player to continue until a game was lost, and so on, until 100 games were played.

(D) Two players of equal skill level each played one game a day for 50 days and their skill level did not change from day to day.

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) If the player's skill improves over time, the likelihood of him winning the game also increases and, therefore, this scenario cannot be modeled by a random binomial probability.

(B) Since the players have different skill levels, the likelihood of winning each game would change between players, thus X is not a binomial random variable.

(C) Same explanation as alternative B  

(D) Since both players have the same constant skill level throughout all games, the likelihood of winning each of the 100 games is the same; therefore, X is a binomial random variable

(E) Same explanation as alternatives B and C  

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001030

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
