The head of operations for a movie studio wants to determine which of two new scripts they should select for their next major production. (Due to budgeting constraints, only one new picture can be undertaken at this time.) She feels that script 1 has a 70 percent chance of earning about $10,000,000 over the long run, but a 30 percent chance of losing $2,000,000. If this movie is successful, then a sequel will be produced, with an 80 percent chance of earning $5,000,000, but a 20 percent chance of losing $1,000,000. On the other hand, she feels that script 2 has a 60 percent chance of earning $12,000,000, but a 40 percent chance of losing $3,000,000. If successful, its sequel would have a 50 percent chance of earning $8,000,000, but a 50 percent chance of losing $4,000,000. Of course, in either case, if the original movie were a flop, then no sequel would be produced. What is the probability that script 1 will be a success, but its sequel will not?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: $9,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is simply defined as the chance or likelihood that an event is going to happen or occur.

The probability that script 1 will be a success, but its sequel will not is the success of script 1 added to the failure of its sequel.

The total payoff will simply be the sum of the individual layoffs of both the success and the failure. This will be:

= $10,000,000 + (- $1,000,000)

= $10,000,000 - $1,000,000

= $9,000,000

Answer 2

Using conditional probability, it is found that there is a 0.14 = 14% probability that script 1 will be a success, but its sequel will not.

Conditional Probability

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened. [tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening. P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Script 1 is a sequel.Event B: It's sequel is not.

Sequel 1 has a 70% probability of being a success, hence [tex]P(A) = 0.7[/tex].If it is a success, the sequel has a 80% probability of being a success, hence a 20% probability of being a failure, thus [tex]P(B|A) = 0.2[/tex]

Then:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B|A)[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.7(0.2)[/tex]

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.14[/tex]

0.14 = 14% probability that script 1 will be a success, but its sequel will not.

Community Gym charges a $55 membership fee and a $40 monthly fee. Workout Gym
charges a $125 membership fee and a $30 monthly fee. How many months will it take for
the cost of both gyms to be the same? and what is the cost of the gyms during that number
of months?

Answers

The gyms can be represented by these equations, with x for months. 40x+55= 30x+125. Combine like terms. First, subtract 30x from both sides, and you get 10x+55=125. Subtract 55 next. You now have 10x=70. Divide by 10, and you get x=7. It will take 7 months for them to be the same. To find the cost, you can plug in x. 40(7)+55=335. 30(7)+125=335. The cost is $335.

As per the circumference of a circle, the length of the paper is 176 mm.

The circumference of a circle is the total arc length of it.

The diameter of the pencil is(d) 7 mm

Therefore, the radius of the pencil is(r)

Answers

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

suppose, Y is the number of times a coin is being flipped.

If the coin is flipped for the first time and we get H, then we have:

TTT = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}(Y+1)[/tex]

Afterward, if we get H, then we waste two times plus the probability of this event [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex].

Therefore, we have : [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}(Y+2)[/tex]

Afterward, if we get H, then we waste three times plus the probability of this event [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex].

Therefore, we have : [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}(Y+3)[/tex]

If we got T at the third time, then;

T = [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}(3)[/tex]

Thus, average number of headsthat you’ll see until gettingTTT can be expressed as:

[tex]= \dfrac{1}{2}(Y+1)+ \dfrac{1}{4}(Y+2)+ \dfrac{1}{8}(Y+3)+ \dfrac{1}{8}(3)[/tex]

4. Ariel loves to go to baseball games. This season she has already attended 23 New York Ducks games. If
Ariel attended nine more weekend games than weekday games, how many weekday games did she attend.

Answers

Answer: She attended to 7 weekday games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote our variables as:

Wd = number of weekday games that she attended.

We = number of weekend games that she attended.

We know that in total, she attended to 23 games, so we have:

Wd + We = 23.

"If  Ariel attended nine more weekend games than weekday games" can be written as:

We = Wd + 9.

Then we have the system of equations:

Wd + We = 23.

We = Wd + 9.

The first step would be to replace the second equation into the first one, as:

Wd + We = 23.

Wd + (Wd + 9) = 23

Now we can solve this for Wd.

2*Wd + 9 = 23

2*Wd = 23 - 9 = 14

Wd = 14/2 = 7

She attended to 7 weekday games.

And:

We + 7 = 23

We = 23 - 7 = 16

She attended at 16 weekend games.

2+3=5

A can factory requires 2 sheets of metal to make 36 cans and 10 sheets of metal to make 180 cans. The proportionality constant between the number of cans made and the number of sheets of metal used is 36 18 288 5

Answers

Answer:From the statement above, we can say that there is a direct relationship between the number of sheets used to the number of cans that can be made. That is, # of sheets is directly proportional to # of cans. We make an equation as follows:

let y = # of sheets

    x = # of cans

y = kx      where k is the proportionality constant

Assuming linear relationship of the two, we can use either data point as follows:

y = kx

2 = k(36)

k = 1/18

Therefore, the proportionality constant is 1/18.

Jennifer paid $13.37 for a pack of 12 pairs of sport socks. What was the price of a pair of sport socks

Answers

Answer:

Each pair of socks cost around $1.11 excluding taxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how much it costs for one pair of socks, divide the cost with how many pairs there are.  

13.37/12 = 1.11426...

Since we are determining the cost of each pair of socks, it's only justifiable if we round it to the nearest hundredths.

Therefore, a pair of socks cost around $1.11 excluding taxes.

A word problem is a verbal description of a problem situation. It consists of few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation.

For the given situation,

The equation |x – 72.5| = 4.

The minimum and maximum temperatures can be found by substituting +4 and -4 in x.

Minimum temperature,

⇒ [tex]|+4-72.5|=|-68.5|[/tex]

⇒ [tex]68.5[/tex]

Maximum temperature,

⇒ [tex]|-4-72.5|=|-76.5|[/tex]

⇒ [tex]76.5[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that to keep the house in heat, the minimum and maximum temperature is set to option 68.5°F and 76.5°F.

height(ft), t seconds after launching is given by s=-16t^2 + v0t + s0

A) time the projectile will reach a height of 100 ft

s=-16t^2 + v0t

v0 = 89ft/sec

Jamie will choose between two catering companies for an upcoming party. Company A charges a set up fee of $500 plus $25 for each guest. Company B charges a set up fee of $200 dollars plus 30per guest. How many guests are need where the price is equal

Answers

Answer:

60 guests

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll say that the number of guests is n.

We're looking for the n where both of these expressions are equal:

Company A (500 set-up fee, 25 for each guest)

500 + 25 * n

Company B (200 set-up fee, 30 for each guest)

200 + 30 * n

500 + 25n = 200 + 30n

Subtract 200 from both sides.

300 + 25n = 30n

Subtract 25n from both sides.

300 = 5n

We'll reverse the sides.

5n = 300

Divide both sides by 5.

n = 300/5 = 60

Thus, both companies are equal when n is 60, or when there are 60 guests.
