Math Man’s Adventures Woooshaaa!

In a world of danger, a child was born in the small town of Keiser Springs, Arizona. His parents noticed one day that as they were doing chores around the house their son Matthew was helping them both at the same time! Helping mommy. Helping daddy.

The world, as young Matthew knew, was a world dangerous choices and random peril. Therefore Matthew chose to be the champion of PROBABILITY! DANGER!

As Matthew grew, his powers increased As Matthew grew, his powers increased. He could fly, had unbelievable strength, and probably was a math prodigy! Unbelievable strength Math Prodigy. Could fly!

Another day in a world of crime, math man met his ultimate fear: The Spinner of DOOM! Evil Spinner

The Spinner of Doom is the ultimate test The Spinner of Doom is the ultimate test. Math Man receives a distress call from a far away island. A woman is going to be dropped into the great depths of a volcano. Math Man has a 2/3 chance to save her and a 1/3 chance to fail miserably. What can he do?

He has three ways to save her He has three ways to save her. What is the probability that at least 2 of his methods work. While attempting to save the woman, math man must do a bit of math. 3C2 (2/3)2 (1/3)1 3C3 (2/3)3 (1/3)0 3(2/9) (1/3) 3 (8/27) (1) (6/9)(2/3) (8/27)(1) 8/27 + 8/27 16/27

Math man solves it! Right on time the rope snapped and he swooped in and saved her from the great perils of death.

3C2 (2/3)2 (1/3)1 3C1 (2/3)1 (1/3)2 3C0 (2/3)0 (1/3)3 His next challenge was to calculate his probability of having at least 2 chances of 3 of finding alternative routes of saving a small boy from a swamp of alligators, and what is his exact chance of saving him in one try? 3C2 (2/3)2 (1/3)1 3C1 (2/3)1 (1/3)2 3C0 (2/3)0 (1/3)3 3 (4/9) (1/3) 3(2/3) (1/9) 1 (1) (1/27) 12/27 + 6/27 + 1/27 19/27 3C1 (2/3)1 (1/3)2 3(2/3) (1/9) 6/27 Exact value of getting the boy with one try.

Making yet again another day in the world, a safe one using his great knowledge of math.
