In the game of SCRABBLE, you select letters from the group in the pot that are not already on the board or in your hand or someone else's. This would be sampling letters without replacement. Suppose that instead of doing this, you select a letter from the pot, write it down, and then return it to the pot. In other words, suppose you sample letters with replacement. Every time you select a new letter, you write it down next to the letter you drew previously Because you are sampling the pot with replacement, each draw of a letter is an independent event such that the Multiplication Rule for Independent Events applies her be this the (a) Select a letter, write it down, and return the letter to the pot. Do this three times. When you reach into the pot to select your letters, your result is based on a simulation. In a simulation, random events are modeled in such a way that the simulated outcomes closely match real-world outcomes. In this simulation, your result is simulated based on the frequency distribution of SCRABBLE letters. (Note: Because the results of this experiment are based on a random simulation, Aplia is not responsible for any inappropriate words that may result.) Before selecting your tiles, what is the probability that your selection (in order) spells the word "bug" (without the use of the blank tile as a wild card)?
(b) Repeat your experiment, but this time select, write, and return the letter four times. Again, your results will be generated based on the frequency distribution. Before you select your tiles, what is the probability that the four letters you write down in order) will spell "pear" (without the use of a blank tile as a wild card)? Give your answer to eight decimal places. P(pear) - D Based on the preceding probability, you to spell the word under consideration

a) $ 9.50

b) 17

c) y-intercept (0, 12). this is the initial amount of money that joe had prior to playing any game.

d) x-intercept ( 24, 0). this is the number of games that joe will play before he depletes the initial amount of money that he had.

e) slope is -0.5. joe's balance will reduce by 0.5 for every game that he plays.

f)

domain; [0,24]

range; [0,12]

g) x + 2y = 24

step-by-step explanation:

a)

if joe plays 5 games, this will imply that x = 5. substitute x = 5 in the equation and solve for y;

y = -.50x + 12

y = -0.50(5) + 12

y = 9.50

b)

if joe leaves the arcade with $3.50, this will mean that y = 3.50. plug in y = 3.50 in the given equation and solve for x;

y = -.50x + 12

3.50 = -0.50x + 12

0.50x = 12 - 3.50

0.5x = 8.5

x = 17

c)

the function given is   y = -.50x + 12.

the y-intercept is the point where the graph of this function will intersect the y-axis. at this point, the value of x is usually 0. plug in x = 0 in the given equation and determine y;

y = -0.50(0) + 12

y = 12

the y-intercept is thus (0, 12). this is the initial amount of money that joe had prior to playing any game.

d)

the x-intercept refers to the point where the graph of a function intersects with the x-axis. at this point, the value of y is 0. substitute y = 0 in the given equation and solve for x;

0 =   -.50x + 12

0.5x = 12

x = 24

x-intercept ( 24, 0). this is the number of games that joe will play before he depletes the initial amount of money that he had.

e)

the slope of the given equation is -0.5. the equation has been given in slope-intercept form. thus the slope is simply the coefficient of x.

joe's balance will reduce by 0.5 for every game that he plays. this is the interpretation of the slope.

f)

domain is the set of x values for which the function is real and defined. the domain will thus be; [0,24]. this will restrict the balance to only assume positive values.

on the other hand, the range is the set of y values for which a function is real and defined. the range in our case will be [0,12]. joe can have between $0 and $12 balance.

g)

the standard form of the equation of a straight line is;

ax + by = c

where a, b, and c are integers.

our equation is given as;

y = -.50x + 12

re-writing the equation we have;

0.5x + y = 12

divide all through by 0.5;

x + 2y = 24

the answer is 99.

2425
