    A probability question based on batting averages,

    Batter A has a batting average (probability of getting a hit) of .320. Batter B has a batting average of .280. If both of them come to bat during an inning, calculate the probability that neither one gets a hit. Assume that A getting a hit is independent of B getting a hit. My...

    Part 2 of mathematical modeling question

    Okay so after tearing my face off trying to find a 2-cycle, I've managed to make significant process. I divided an enormous polynomial with another polynomial and got a god awful mess which incidentally was correct. Now I'm having trouble solving this equation with x in terms of c...

    Need Help with a mathematical modeling question

    This question deals with a 1-parameter equation: fc(x)= (4/x)+(x/2)-c for 0≤c≤ 2.3 a.) Use algebra to find the positive fixed point p(c) of fc(x) (in terms of c) and identify its exact interval of existence a.) Ok so for the fixed point I got p(c)= -c+√(c2+8) I'm not sure if this is...

    Engineering Can't choose between actuarial science, accounting, and engineering

    I feel like such a loser for saying this, but I grew up w/ the dumb mentality that u could just study for everything and expect it to rain gold on you. I never really had any concrete interests and now I have to choose since I'm going to be sophomore soon in college. Btw, I know how to talk to...
