A school has been selling raffle tickets to raise funds for the school library. Each ticket is sold for $5, and the school has sold many such tickets. Each ticket has a code. When a ticket is presented at the library book sale, it can be redeemed for $1, $5, or $10. The dollar amount being assigned to each ticket is determined by a lottery before the book sale. Heidi is wondering whether the school is actually losing money out of the raffle. (a) Formulate the null and alternative hypotheses that can be used to determine whether the school is losing money out of the raffle. Note that the issue is whether the school is losing money, not whether the school is breaking even. Please think about what the implication is when formulating the null and alternative hypotheses

In a classroom election, two presidential candidates, namely, Lisa and Teddy, both garnered the same number of total votes. As such, they decided to play a custom dice game to determine the winner of the election. In this game, a player needs to roll a pair of dice. Teddy will win the game if the sum is odd whereas Lisa will be declared winner if the sum results to even. However, prior to the start of the game, Teddy complained that the custom dice game is biased because according to him, the probability of an even result is 6/11, and for odd - only 5/11. Verify Teddy's claim and evaluate the fairness of the game. A. The game is fair. B. The game is unfair to Lisa. C. The game is unfair to Teddy. D. More information is needed. complete solution
Let's begin with a lesson in roulette. Roulette is a casino game that involves spinning a ball on a wheel that is marked with numbered squares that are red, black, or green. Half of the numbers 1–36 are colored red and half are black and the numbers 0 and 00 are green. Each number occurs only once on the wheel. We can make many different types of bets, but two of the most common are to bet on a single number (1–36) or to bet on a color (either red or black). These will be the two bets we will consider in this project. After all players place their bets on the table, the wheel is spun and the ball tossed onto the wheel. The pocket in which the ball lands on the wheel determines the winning number and color. The ball can land on only one color and number at a time. We begin by placing a bet on a number between 1 and 36. This bet pays 36 to 1 in most casinos, which means we will be paid $⁢36 for each $⁢1 we bet on the winning number. If we lose, we simply lose whatever amount of money we…

Jojo, Lili and Bibi are playing together. Because they had just learned the alphabet, Jojo also proposed a game using the alphabet to hone and deepen their abilities. The game is a game of changing strings. Initially Jojo has an X string. The X string will be changed through several processes given by Jojo. The process is changing an alphabet Ai to Bi. Each alphabet can only be changed once. After all processes take place. Jojo just wants to find out how many characters Bi are in the string X. If the alphabet does not appear in the string, the character does not need to be displayed. The alphabet displayed must be ordered by alphabet. Lili and Bibi want to do it, but they doubt their answer, for that they ask for your help to make an answer for the Jojo game. Format Input The input will consist of several lines of input in ”testdata.in” file. First consists of T, the number of test cases. For each testcase consists of several lines. The first line consists of the X string, Jojo’s…
vvvHarry has a big wall clock, that got hit while he was playing. Now, the minute hand doesn't rotate by the angle 2π/3600 each second, but now it moves according to different angle x. You can assume that coordinates of the centre of the clock are (0, 0) and the length of the minute hand is l. One endpoint of the minute hand is always located at the clock centre; the other endpoint is initially located at the point (0, l). One second later, Harry observes that this endpoint is at distance d above the x-axis, i.e., the y-coordinate of this endpoint is equal to d. Harry is curious about where the minute hand will be (specifically, its y-coordinate) after t seconds. Because t can be very large, Harry can't wait for that moment. Please help him to write a python code that prints a single line containing the output.Input: 4 2 2Output4Harry has a big wall clock, that got hit while he was playing.

Suppose you are a participant in a game show. You have a chance to win a motorbike. You are askedto select one of the 500 doors to open; the motorbike is behind one of the 500 doors; the other remaining doorsare losers and have balloons behind them. Once you select a door, the host of the game show, who knowsexactly what is behind each of the door, randomly opens 480 of the other doors all at once that s/he for sureknows are losing doors and have balloons behind them. Then s/he reoffers you – whether you would like toswitch to the other doors or keep your initial or original selection as before. Now in this case, you are goingto make decision based on probabilistic reasoning. Therefore, whenever you are reoffered by the host to dothe selections among the remaining unopened doors, what is the probability of winning for each of theremaining unopened doors (including your original selection)? Do you want to make a switch based on theprobabilistic reasoning? If you are switching, which…
In the game of blackjack, the cards 2 through 10 are counted at their face values, regardless of suit, all face cards (jack, queen, and king) are counted as 10, and an ace counted as either 1 or 11, depending on the total count of all the cards in a player's hand. The ace is counted as 11 only if the resulting total value all cards in a player's hand. The ace is counted as 11 only if the resulting total value of all cards in a player's hand does not exceed 21, else it is counted as a 1. Using this information write a C++ program that accepts three card values as inputs (a1 corresponding to an ace, a2 corresponding to a two, and so on), calculates the total value of the hand appropriately, and displays the value of the three cards with a printed message.
Five members of an obesity club want to know how much they have lost or gained weight since the last time they met. To do this, they carry out a weighing ritual where each one is weighed on ten different scales in order to have a more accurate average of their weight. If there is a positive difference between this average weight and the weight of the last time they met, it means that they gained weight. But if the difference is negative, it means that they lost weight. What the problem requires is that for each person a sign is printed that says "went up" or "under" and the amount of pounds Write a program in c++ using for, do while or while. Initial weights 230, 240, 180, 300 and 350. Do not use arrays

Your objective is to write the solution to the 9 × 9 sudoku puzzle below. You must write in the digits 1 through 9 in each row such that no digit is repeated vertically, horizontally and in each box. In your solution, write each row on itsown line; and for each row, write each digit enclosed in square braces. For instance, if the row is (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), then you would type [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] for that row.
A high school has 1000 students and 1000 lockers, one locker for each student. On the first day of school, theprincipal plays the following game: She asks the first student to open all the lockers. She then asks the secondstudent to close all the even-numbered lockers. The third student is asked to check every third locker. If it isopen, the student closes it; if it is closed, the student opens it. The fourth student is asked to check every fourthlocker. If it is open, the student closes it; if it is closed, the student opens it. The remaining students continuethis game. In general, the nth student checks every nth locker. If it is open, the student closes it; if it is closed,the student opens it. After all the students have taken turns, some of the lockers are open and some are closed.The program below, when ran, will prompt the user to enter the number of lockers in the school. After thegame is over, the program will output the number of lockers and the lockers numbers of the lockers…
