there is a box with 3 numbers: {1,2, 3}. You are allowed to draw 2 numbers from this box, and if the sum is odd, then you get 1 point. If it is even, you lose one point. With this in mind, Is it better to draw with or without replacement to maximize your probability of winning?

I have 10 teams playing one game in sets of two for a total of 5 games only. I have oragnized an example of what I want but I have done it by hand. There are 5 home teams and 5 away teams. Each team and their opponent is set and can not change. I need an excel formula to determine the possible outcomes for each game. The formula could be hilighting the winning team or the losing team, it could be answering winner or loser in the colum next to the teams. I just need a way to make this process faster than by entering by hand. Attached is a excel sheet that shows more of what I am trying to do for clairity. I only did the most basic selection by hand but need a way to determine every possible win/loss sequence/variation in excel or other formula. (No data in row 22, just skiped it so I can fit in all sets that I made.)
You have 4 people that want to attend a conference. There is only room for 2 people. How many combinations can be formed from these 4 people taking 2 at a time? Possibilities =
Traditionally, the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors is played with two people. Each of the two people, on the count of 3, reveals their hand in the shape of a rock, a piece of paper, or a pair of scissors as best they can (usually with a closed fist, a flat hand, or their index and middle fingers outstretched to form the V of an open pair of scissors). As the rules go, rock smashes scissors, paper covers rock, and scissors cuts paper. The game can be extended to an arbitrarily large number of, say, nn people, where nn is greater than or equal to 2. If when all nn people reveal their play and only 1 or all 3 options appear, that round is deemed indecisiveindecisive and they just play again. If when all nn people reveal their play precisely two of the three options appear, that round is decisivedecisive, and those with the winning play continue while those with the losing play are eliminated. Play continues until only one person remains. Assume the game begins with nn players, each of whom…
MAKE SURE YOU SELECT 2 ANSWERS FOR THIS QUESTION - Type of test and hypothesis. Professor Ratzo wonders if rats will run a maze faster for some kinds of foods than for others. He randomly assigns 30 rats to one of three conditions, 10 rats to each condition. Group 1 gets buttered bread at the end of the maze, Group 2 gets cheddar cheese, and Group 3 gets honey- glazed ham. The number of seconds each rat took to run the maze is recorded. The hypothesis is that type of food makes a difference in rat running time. Choose the type of test you should use to test this hypothesis? Then choose the correct hypotheses in symbol notation (or words if symbol is not appropriate).

solve with steps Three different machines A1, A2, A3 were used for the producing a large batch of similar manufactured items. Suppose that 10% of items are produced by machine A1, 20% by A2 and 40% by A3. Suppose further that 1%of the items produced by A1, 2% by A2 and 3% by A3 machine are defective. Suppose one item is selected from the entire batch and it is found to be defective. Calculate the probability that this item was produced bymachine A2
A huge pencil bag contains 40 pencils of two different shades, 4B and 6B. Initially, there are x numbers of 6B pencils in the bag. If 45 more 6B pencils are put in the bag, the probability of randomly picking a 6B pencil now will be quadruple that of the previous probability of picking a 6B pencil. With the given information, evaluate the original number of 6B shade in the pencil bag.
A number in Z+is written on the back of each of three cards. The numbers are not necessarily different but the sum of the three numbers is 14. Each card is flipped backwards so that the number cannot be seen by anyone. Carter, Mars, and Mann each select one of the cards, being careful not to let the other two see the number that is on the card. Carter says, after looking at his card, “I know that Mars and Mann have different numbers.” Mars then says, “I already knew that thet hree cards had different numbers.” At this point, Mann confidently exclaims, “I now know all thet hree numbers!” What were the numbers and who had which number?
Suppose that you must study three out of four subjects namely Mathematics (MTS), Calculus (CALC), Statistics (STAT) and Probability (PROB). Find the number of possible options for your study. (a) (b) List all the possible options.
If you flip a coin, there is a 1/2 chance you will receive a heads. If you flip a coin twice, you have to use the product rule to multiply each independent flip to find out what the odds of getting two heads in a row. (1/2 x 1/2=1/4.) By this rule, the odds of flipping a coin 13 times in a row twice and getting the exact same thing both times are 213. Mathematically, what are the chances that any two frog siblings will receive exactly the same complement of chromosomes due to random independent assortment (not counting random genetic recombination) Remember to add together the odds for both egg and sperm. What is this number for a human zygote? What does this tell you about the odds of being identical to one of your siblings, even without taking into account recombination (and not counting identical twins)?
A player pays a certain amount of money to randomly roll a 6-sided and a 4-sided die, both balanced. If the sum of the dice is less than 5 or greater than 9, the player receives a prize of $ 90. Otherwise he loses the money paid to play, in dollars and cents, to keep this game fair. Write only the number corresponding to the prize without a dollar sign and rounded to 2 decimal places.
Suppose a system will work if any one of the 10 different components work. The probability that a particular component works is 0.222, independently of all the other components. Find the probability that the system works.
