The Problem of the Points. Two players engage in a game. They are equally matched, and the chances of winning a point are the same for each player. The first player to score 10 points wins the $100 stakes. The game is interrupted suddenly when Player A has 7 points and Player B has 5 points. How should the stakes be divided fairly

Player A receives $77.34375 of the sakes

Player B receives $22.65625 of the stakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that at the time the game was interrupted, we have;

The number of points player A  has = 7 points

The number of points player B has = 5 points

The amount the first player to score 10 points wins = $100

The number of points remaining for player A to win the game = 3

The number of points remaining for player B to win the game = 5

Therefore, the number of trials remaining for a winner to emerge = 3 + 5 - 1 = 7 trials

We take the probability that Player A wins a point as success

We find the likelihood of Plater A winning by using binomial theory as follows;

Therefore, given that the likelihood of Player A winning = 99/128

The stakes should be divided such that Player A gets 99/128 share of the stakes while Player B gets 1 - 99/128 = 29/128 share of the stakes

Therefore, Player A gets (99/128) × $100 = $77.34375

Player B gets (29/128) × $100 =  $22.65625

answer:

it is general formula that is used to write value to its excet position

a11 a12 a13

a21 a22 a23

it is the example of order 2 by 3 matrix in this

a11 means value occur in 1 st row 1st column

a12 means value occurs in 1st row 2nd column

a13 means value occur in 1st row and 3rd column

a21 means value occurs in 2nd row and 1st column

a22 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 2nd column

a23 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 3rd column

dilation scale factor 2: starting with δabc, draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of two. notice that every coordinate of the original triangle has been multiplied by the scale factor (x2). dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.
