Given question is A basket of fruit is being assembled from apples, bananas, and oranges. What is the fewest number of fruit pieces that should be placed in the basket to ensure that there are at least 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges?Your answer:
The question is asking you to prepare for a worst-case scenario, not a best-case scenario. Imagine a game where you're not the one in charge of choosing the fruits - your opponent is in charge, and they don't want you to win. The opponent can get away with choosing 20 fruits (7 apples, 5 bananas, and 8 oranges) before the 21st fruit finally forces your condition to be satisfied.
Therefore total required the fewest number of fruit pieces =(7+5+8)+1=21.My question:Why did you add 7+5+8 , instead of 8 apples, 6 bananas, or 9 oranges? The given is 8+6+9 not 7+5+8. Also why did you add +1? Here, you add 1: (7+5+8) +1 =21. Also, Is it pigeonhole formula? The pigeonhole is ⌈n/m⌉ not like this as far as i know. Thank you
A game involves drawing a single card from a standard deck. The player receives $10 for an ace, $5 for a king, and $1 for a red card that is neither an ace nor a king. Otherwise, the player receives nothing. If the cost of each draw is $2, should you play? Explain your answer mathematically.

- Rock smashes scissors Almost everyone has played the rock-paper- scissors game at some point. Two players face each other and, at the count of 3, make a fist (rock), an extended hand, palm side down (paper), or a "V" with the index and middle fingers (scissors). The winner is determined by these rules: rock smashes scissors; paper covers rock; and scissors cut paper. If both players choose the same object, then the game is a tie. Suppose that Player 1 and Player 2 are both equally likely to choose rock, paper, or scissors. (a) Give a probability model for this chance process. (b) Find the probability that Player 1 wins the game on the first throw. 3.arrow_forwardYou are going to play the 7-11 game, which has the following rules: You roll two dice. If the total value of the two dice is 7 or 11, you immediately win the game. If the total value is 2, 3, or 12, you immediately lose. If the total value is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, you keep this value as a referenced point. Then, you continue rolling the dice until you obtain the same value as the referenced point then you win the game. However, if you obtain the value of 7 before the referenced point, then you lose. For example, you obtain 4 in the first time of rolling, you keep rolling the dice until you get 4 (before 7) then you win. Similarly, you obtain 4 in the first time of rolling, you keep rolling the dice but you get 7 (before 4) then you lose. What is the probability to win this game?
