Answer:
Given that there are 21 flags, NOW using backward induction we can see that;
If there is only one flag left, whosoever picks up that particular flag will lose. Therefore, 1 is loosing number.
Now if there are 2 flags left, whosoever's turn it is, can pick 1 flag and leave one for the opponent and win the game. Therefore, 2 is winning number. Similarly if there are 3 flags left then whosoever's turn it is can pick 2 flags and leave one for the opponent and can win the game. Hence 3 is winning number. Similarly when 4 flags left, 3 can be picked up and leave one for the opponent and win the game. So, 4 is also winning number.
Now, if there are 5 flags left, then no matter whichever number you choose among 1,2 or 3 you gonna leave other team with 4,3 or 2 respectively and all 3 are winning number. Therefore, 5 is loosing number.
Similarly, if you have 6,7,8 then by taking 1,2,3 respectively you can leaveyour opponent with number 5 and that is loosing number and you can win certainly. Therefore, 6,7,8 are also winning number.
Following above discussion, we see a pattern among the number that would make sure you win and with other numbers you loose.
we see after 1 if we go in positive direction on number line till 21 then every fourth number is loosing number because no matter what you choose you will leave your opponent with a winning number of flags and if your opponent knows and follows the optimal strategy can win. Therefore,
Loosing Numbers = 1,5,9,13,17 and 21
Winning Numbers = 2,3,4,6,7,8,10,11,12,14,15,16,18,19 and 20
a) STRATEGY
If you are a team that is stuck with any of loosing number that is 1,5,9,13,17 or 21 then no matter what strategy you follow you gonna loose. Therefore, there is n winning strategy in this situation given other team also knows the winning strategy
But if you have any of winning numbers at any point then you can follow the following strategy and can win
- 2 flags = pick up one flag and leave 1 for the opponent, win
- 3 flags = pick up 2 flags and leave 1 for the opponent, win
- 4 flags = pick up 3 flags and leave 1 for the opponent, win
- 6 flags = pick up one flag, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 1,2 or 3 based on the number of flags left and win
- 7 flags = pick up 2 flags, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 1,2 or 3 based on the number of flags left and win
- 8 flags = pick up 3 flags, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 1,2 or 3 based on the number of flags left and win
- 10 flags = pick up one flag, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 4,5 or 6 based on the number of flags left and win
- 11 flags = pick up 2 flags, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 4,5 or 6 based on the number of flags left and win
- 12 flags = pick up 3 flags, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 4,5 or 6 based on the number of flags left and win
- 14 flags = pick up one flag, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 7,8 or 9 based on the number of flags left and win
- 15 flags = pick up 2 flags, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 7,8 or 9 based on the number of flags left and win
- 16 flags = pick up 3 flags, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 7,8 or 9 based on the number of flags left and win
- 18 flags = pick up one flag, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 10,11 or 12 based on the number of flags left and win
- 19 flags = pick up 2 flags, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 10,11 or 12 based on the number of flags left and win
- 20 flags = pick up 3 flags, then no matter what your opponent chooses you follow either strategy number 10,11 or 12 based on the number of flags left and win
b)
Since team moving first will have 21 flags left on ground and it is a loosing number, no matter which number it chooses to pick it is gonna loose as it will leave other team with winning number. So, they will be indifferent between choosing 1,2 or 3
c)
If first teams removes 1 flag then best strategy for second team would be to remove 3 flags and again leave first team with loosing number
similarly, If first teams removes 2 flags then best strategy for second team would be to remove 2 flags and again leave first team with loosing number
and If first teams removes 3 flags then best strategy for second team would be to remove only 1 flag and again leave first team with loosing number
A certain analog clock runs fast and gains 5 minutes every 8 hours. It was set to show the correct time. What is the shortest interval of time after which the clock will show the correct time again?
Answer:
1152 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
It doesn’t mention that it has AM or PM, so we’re assuming that it’s just the same time, regardless if the clocks actually shows the wrong time in am/pm-wise.
So, if it gains 5 minutes every 8 hours, we have to make see how many 5-minutes that we need to make 12 hours. 12 hours is equal to 720 minutes, so 720/5=144. Since it asks how many hours we need for it to become the same time again, we need to add the fact that it only adds 5 minutes every 8 hours. Henceforth, we need to multiply our answer (144) by 8 hours. 144*8=1152. Your answer is 1152 hours.

The shortest interval of time after which the clock will show the correct time again is 144 hours.
Given that a certain analog clock runs fast and gains 5 minutes every 8 hours, and it was set to show the correct time, to determine what is the shortest interval of time after which the clock will show the correct time again the following calculation must be done:
A clock has a duration of 12 hours, that is, it makes a full turn in that time. Thus, the advance time must be 12 hours for the marked time to be correct.
5 minutes = 1/12 hour 12 hours = 1 hour in advance 12 x 12 = X 144 = X
Therefore, the shortest interval of time after which the clock will show the correct time again is 144 hours.

Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that the area of the square is 900 in², we can use that to find the length of each side.
900=x² [square root both sides]
x=30
Now that we know each side is 30 in, we know that the diameter of the circle is also 30 in. To find the radius, divide the diameter by 2.
2r=30 [divide both sides by 2]
r=15
With the radius, we can find the area of the circle.
A=π(15)² [exponent]
A=225π
Since the problem said to leave in terms of π, the area is A=225π in².

john is going to invest $1234 at 9% simple interest. how long will it take for it to be worth $2308? use I=Prt and solve
Answer:
approximately 21 years
Step-by-step explanation:
-From the problem, we are given the equation I = Prt
-We're also given three numbers
-From that, we can determine which number should be plugged into the equation:
P = $1234 (this is the principle amount/original amount)r = 0.09 (this is the rate of simple interest)I = $2308 (this is the ending amount)-The only value we are not given is t as we need to solve for this value
-Now plug all these values into the equation:
I=Prt$2308 = ($1234)(0.09)t$2308 = 111.06tDivide both sides by 111.06t = 20.7816It takes approximately 21 years for the investment amount to be worth $2308.

The sick days of employees every two years in a company are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 7 days and an unknown population mean. If a random sample of 20 employees is taken and results in a sample mean of 21 days, find a 95% confidence interval for the population mean.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]$X_1, X_2, X_3,$[/tex] . . . ,Xn be the random sample of n employee's sick days. It is given that the random samples follows the Normal distribution along with standard deviation of 7 days. Let
[tex]X_i\sim N(\mu ,7)[/tex]
[tex]\bar{X} =\frac{1}{n}\Sigma X_i\sim N(\mu,\frac{7}{\sqrt n})[/tex]
or [tex]Z=\frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{7 /\sqrt n} \sim N(0,1)[/tex]
So,
[tex]P(-Z_{\alpha /2} \leq Z\leq Z_{\alpha /2} ) = 1- \alpha[/tex]
[tex]P(-Z_{\alpha /2} \leq \frac{\bar{X}- \mu}{7 / \sqrt n}\leq Z_{\alpha /2} ) = 1- \alpha[/tex]
[tex]P(\bar{X}-\frac{7}{\sqrt n} Z_{\alpha / 2} \leq \mu \leq \bar{X}+\frac{7}{\sqrt n} Z_{\alpha / 2} ) = 1- \alpha[/tex]
Therefore, the confidence interval of the population mean for α = 0.05 is
= [tex]P(\bar{X}-\frac{7}{\sqrt n} Z_{\alpha / 2} , \bar{X}+\frac{7}{\sqrt n} Z_{\alpha / 2} )[/tex]
= [tex]P(21-\frac{7}{\sqrt 20} Z_{0.05 / 2} , 21+\frac{7}{\sqrt 20} Z_{0.05 / 2} )[/tex]
= (17.93, 24.07)

Step-by-step explanation:
Analizando la jerarquía de los números esta va de ascendente (mayor) a decendente (menor).
Como se puede ver tu primer número es 1.1 y el que le sigue es -0.1, ahí se podría hacer la primera ecuación que es una resta de números 1.1-0.1=1.2. Vamos a retomar el segundo valor y poner el resultado que nos dio al principio (recordando la ley de los signos:negativo más negativo, pues se suman pero el signo negativo estará presente ahí), para tener sentido aquí hay una explicación.
-0.1-1.2=-1.3 y lo mismo hacemos -1.3-1.2=-2.5

.Find the unknown angles in each of the following figures and mention the property used
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
a. Angle y is vertically opposite the angle that measures 80°. Vertically opposite angles are said to be equal to each other, therefore, y = 80°
x + y + 50° = 180° (sum of angles in a ∆)
x + 80° + 50° = 180 (substitution)
x + 130° = 180°
x = 180° - 130° (subtracting 130 from each side)
x = 50°
b. x + 50° = 120° (sum of the 2 opposite interior angles in a ∆ = the exterior angle of the ∆)
x = 120 - 50 (subtracting 50 from each side)
x = 70°
y + x + 50° = 180° (sum of angles in a ∆)
y + 70° + 50 = 180° (substitution)
y + 120° = 180°
y = 180 - 120 (subtracting 120 from each side)
y = 60°
