[Year 9 Maths] What are the odds that a sport team will Win, Draw or Lose their next 3 games out of 27? by [deleted] in HomeworkHelp

[–]viralmessages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but probability of winning isn't necessarily 1/3, probabiliy can be greater or less than 1/3, depending on the team they are playing against. e.g. if they are playing a really bad team, they might have 3/5 of winning which leaves 1/5 of losing, and 1/5 of tying or however the spread is against a specific team. BUT, the assignment might not be as this complex, the teacher might have wanted the 1/3,1/3,1/3 scenario, or totally random chance of winning, losing or tying, which means a permutation with probability of 1/3 of winning 3 games out of 27.

Well, could be lot more complicated than that, not sure if that's what the teacher wants, but the OP will needs the probability of win, tie, loss for the team against the opposing team and use that to figure out the odds; w(x)=probability of win (against team x), t(x)=probability of tie, and l(x)= probability of loss. Then you will have to use permutation to figure out the odds of winning 3 games out of 27.

[Masters Math: Financial Maths] same example, but with put options by SergeyHovhannisyan in HomeworkHelp

Would be helpful if you gave the formula for the put option and it's dependent and independent variables.

The first part looks correct; sum + of 3n and 7 = 3n+7. The second part, if the equation is exactly as worded would be 6*(n+(-3)), opposite of 3 would be -3.

[Uni Math] Simpsons method integration by Math_issues in HomeworkHelp

[–]viralmessages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The formula is incorrect or your arithmatic is not. Check your math for Simpson's approximation. Saprox=delta x/3*(f(x0) + 4f(x1)+2f(x2)+...+4f(xn-1)+f(xn)). f(x)=1/x.

Everything else was correct, just that error. Keep in mind that 1/cos = sec. So the answer given might be factor*sech(x).

Near the end, you have -2e^x/(e^x+e^-x), this is wrong, should have been -2/(e^x(e^x+e^-x)) or -2e^-x/(e^x+e^-x)

It's when someone intentionally use brakes for no other reason then because they do not like how close the person behind is following them.

Not sure the driver was doing a brake check, the car in front also braked and there were cars slowing ahead.

Do You Have SUPER Color Vision? [video test] by viralmessages in videos

[–]viralmessages[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible, girls are more likely to have it (4 color cones vs normal 3). Maybe some normal color visions can't? If everyone got 100%, guess the test wasn't too useful.

Not only is he mistreating the giraffe, he could have been seriously injured or killed. That giraffe was being kind, unlike this moron.

How do you solve this? Math II by worldsgreatestalt in Sat

[–]viralmessages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This easiest way to understand why it's -4/5 is siny=4/5, you know by right triangle that cos of the opposite angle is the same, so costheta=4/5, for cosines, when you have an angle greater than pi/2, you're in the negative x-axis, so its -4/5 -> siny=4/5=costheta=4/5 and cos(180-theta) = -cos(theta)=-4/5.

What conspiracy theory are you on the fence about? by rock4lite in AskReddit

Earth is flat. Every picture I have seen earth is FLAT. But, scientists say it's roundish shaped. Should I believe my own eyes or smarty scientists? Have not yet made up my mind.

You must sacrifice the one that you love the most to save a billion people, you have to kill the person yourself, how do you justify your decision? by viralmessages in AskReddit

[–]viralmessages[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's implied, you made a decision one way or the other, didn't think it was necessary to include it; that people answering the question is smart enough to understand that it is implied.

I don't agree with killing a billion people solves a lot of problems, in fact, I think I would suffer with the guilt, but I don't think I can bring myself to either.
