Solution

Question 1, Part A: The question is asking for all possible combinations of wins (W) and losses (L) for 3 rounds of the game.

The correct answer is D.

  • WWW: Terrance wins all three games.
  • WWL: Terrance wins the first two games and loses the third.
  • WLW: Terrance wins the first and third games and loses the second.
  • LWW: Terrance loses the first game and wins the next two.
  • LLW: Terrance loses the first two games and wins the third.
  • LWL: Terrance loses the first game, wins the second, and loses the third.
  • WLL: Terrance wins the first game and loses the next two.
  • LLL: Terrance loses all three games.

Question 2, Part B: The question is asking whether each statement about the probability of Terrance winning a certain number of games is true or false.

  • The probability that Terrance wins exactly 3 games is 1-eighth. This is True. There is only one combination (WWW) out of the eight possible combinations where Terrance wins all three games.
  • The probability that Terrance wins exactly 2 games is 1-fourth. This is False. There are three combinations (WWL, WLW, LWW) out of the eight possible combinations where Terrance wins exactly two games, so the probability is 3/8, not 1/4.
  • The probability that Terrance wins at least 2 games is 1-half. This is True. There are four combinations (WWW, WWL, WLW, LWW) out of the eight possible combinations where Terrance wins at least two games, so the probability is 4/8 or 1/2.

Directions for questions 25 to 28: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.Shashi, a programmer, created an intriguing representation of his rankings in six consecutive games - G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, and G6 - each consisting of six rounds - R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6. He drew a grid to depict this arrangement in a unique way. Throughout every round of each game, Shashi consistently maintained a position within the top six ranks. Rank 1 is the highest, and rank 6 is the lowest. To identify each cell within the grid, the format used is GmRn, where ‘m’ represents the column and ‘n’ represents the row. For instance, G2R3 corresponds to the value 2. Shashi initially filled the grid with certain hints but left some cells blank. To complete the grid, every cell must be filled with a number from 1 to 6, ensuring that no number is repeated within any row or column.The rules of filling the grid are as follows:(i) If absolute difference between the two digits in neighbouring cells equals 1, then they are separated by a sign “+” or “–”.(ii) If a border between cells contains a sign “+”, a digit in a left or upper cell is one lower than a digit in a right or lower cell respectively.(iii) If a border between cells contains a sign “–”, a digit in a left or upper cell is one bigger than a digit in a right or lower cell. All instances of consecutive digits are shown by these signs.

A bookmaker is attempting to calculate the odds of a football team winning the next three matches (match A, match B and match C). They determine the probability of the team winning each respective match to be                P(A) =0.35  ;    P(B) =  0.65 ;   P(C) = 0.58 Assuming that these three events are independent, determine the probability that the team will(i) win all three matches      (Give your answer correct to 3 decimal places)                                                                                    (ii) win at least one match   (Give your answer correct to 3 decimal places)
