Major League Baseball's World Series is a maximum of seven games, with the winner being the first team to win four games. Assume that the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins are playing in the
World Series and that the first two games are to be played in Atlanta, the next three games at the Twins' ballpark, and the last two games, if necessary, back in Atlanta. Taking into account the projected
starting pitchers for each game and the home field advantage, suppose the probabilities of Atlanta winning each game are as follows.

Construct a simulation model in which whether Atlanta wins or loses each game is a random variable. Use the model to answer the following questions. (Use at least 1,000 trials.)
(a) What is the average number of games played regardless of winner? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

- Newyork University Building 8 has a 15-story structure. Mr. Raju works on the 11th floor of this building. Except for stopping on a floor where the button has been pressed, the single elevator travels endlessly between floors 1,2,3,..., 14,15,14,...,3,2,1. Assume that the amount of time required to load and unload passengers is minimal compared to the actual trip time.Mr. Raju always wonders when he is about to leave his office at 6 PM, most of the time, the lift goes up before stopping at his floor. One day, Raju encounters you in the lift and shared his thoughts with you. Since you are taking Discrete Mathematics course, he expects you to solve the mystery for him.

- A team of researchers is monitoring the population of crickets in a particular town. They do not know exactly how many crickets are remaining, but the model they use represents the minimum number of crickets remaining in the town. According to their model, the minimum number of the species remaining, in thousands, multiplies by 10 every month. The researchers determine that right now, the population of crickets is at least 5 thousand. once the minimum population reaches 1 million, measures are taken to stop the increase in population. If P 'represents the actual population of crickets in the town, in thousands, and trepresents the time, in months, which of the following systems of inequalities can be used to determine the possible number of crickets in the town over time? O A. P25(10)f P< 1,000t O B. P2 10(5)* P< 1,000t OC. P2 10(5)* P< 1,000 OD.
