Two baseball teams are tied for first place at the end of the season. according to tiebreaking rules, one of the teams will be designated as "team x" and the other as "team y." team x will then choose between two scenarios.

scenario 1: the tied teams will play two games in team x's ballpark. team x must win both games to be declared the champion. otherwise, team y is the champion.

scenario 2: the tied teams will play one game in team y's ballpark. the winner of this game will be declared the champion.
(refer to tiebreaking scenarios 1 and 2.)

let px and py be the respective probabilities of team x and team y winning in their own ballparks. if py = 0.7, which inequality describes the values of px that would make scenario 1 the more favorable choice for team x?

a. 0.35 < pₓ ≤ 1


b. 0.49< pₓ ≤ 1


c. √0.3< pₓ ≤ 1


d. √0.7 < pₓ ≤ 1

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?
