Consider the game of rock-paper-scissors to be an experiment. In the long run, roommate A chooses rock 36% of the time, and roommate B chooses rock 22% of the time; roommate A selects paper 32% of the time, and roommate B selects paper 25% of the time; roommate A chooses scissors 32% of the time, and roommate B chooses scissors 53% of the time. (These choices are made randomly and independently of each other.) The probabilities were assigned using the

b

Step-by-step explanation:

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
