The probability that Einstein wins a game is 0.3 and the probability that Newton wins a game is 0.7 (which means that the game never draws). Newton, being a senior, gracefully gives Einstein the option of deciding whether to play a 'best of 3' or a 'best of 5' series. Einstein, a wizard of numbers, quickly calculates probabilities and chooses what maximizes his chances of winning. Which of the following holds? OPTIONS     1) Einstein chooses 'best of 3' and his probability of winning in a 'best of 3' series is greater than that of Newton   2) Einstein chooses 'best of 3' and his probability of winning in a 'best of 3' series is less than that of Newton   3) Einstein chooses 'best of 5' and his probability of winning in a 'best of 5' series is greater than that of Newton   4) Einstein chooses 'best of 5' and his probability of winning in a 'best of 5' series is less than that of Newton   5) The probability of Einstein winning is same in both the series and hence, the choice is a mathematical farce discuss | yesterday's solution | more questions Tip of the Day Remove stage fright by participating in group discussions with friends.

For Ms. Christy, these are mathematical problems with no one optimum solution. In a building with six elevators and 10 people trying to move between floors, there are over 60 million possible combinations—too many, she says, for the elevator's computer to process in split seconds. Why is a single optimum solution not available for elevator decision- making? OPTIONS     1) There are too many permutations and combinations to be considered.   2) The computer cannot process over 60 million possible combinations.   3) Decision-making for elevators is a mathematical problem.   4) Ms. Christy is unable to process large amounts of information. discuss TestFunda.com - LEARN with THE LEADER in Online MBA Test Prep Demo Lessons   |   Take a Demo Test   |   Buy Courses   |   Fun Learning Games   |   100-Percentilers About TestFunda.com - TestFunda is backed by www.ZeusLearning.com. 3 IIT-IIM graduates form the Management Team. - The 85+ member team has vast experience in MBA Coaching and Computer-Based Training and Testing. - For 12 years Zeus has created award-winning courseware for companies like Discovery Channel, Reader's Digest, Texas Instruments, Pearson Education. - The TestFunda Advisory Board comprises CEOs and MDs of international educational companies.
