Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Please solve the following Probability Problem, please show all work and solve what is asked: HW 1.w. (Special game)The atmosphere has heated up and a fight erupted! There are n + 1players and somebody threw the first punch. Once a person is punched,they punch another person in the group at random. What are the oddsthat after m iterations:a) Nobody punches the person who started it?b) Nobody gets punched twice?Now take it up a notch: imagine the first person punched N other peopleat random, and once someone gets punched, they punch another N peoplein the group at random, and so on. Again, what are the odds that afterm iterations:a) Nobody punches the person who started it?b) Nobody gets punched twice?
Q1. A chest of drawers has 3 drawers. Each drawer has 2 boxes. The boxes of one drawer contain a silver coin in each respectively, the boxes of another a gold coin in each box, and the boxes of the third drawer a gold and a silver coin, respectively. A drawer is selected at random and a box from the drawer is selected at random and opened. The coin is found to be silver. What is the probability that the coin in the other box is gold?
