在一个不透明的袋子中装有 4 个红球和 6 个黄球,这些球除颜色外都相同,将袋子中的球充 分摇匀后,随机摸出一球. (1)分别求摸出红球和摸出黄球的概率 (2)为了使摸出两种球的概率相同,再放进去 8 个同样的红球或黄球,那么这 8 个球中红球和 黄球的数量分别是多少? 答案:【答案】(1)P(摸到红球)=,P(摸到黄球)=;(2)5 个, 3 个. 【解析】(1)直接利用概率公式计算即可求出摸出的球是红球和黄球的概率;(2)设放入红球x个,则黄球为(8−x)个,由摸出两种球的概率相同建立方程,解方程即可求出8个球中红球和黄球的数量分别是多少.(1)∵袋子中装有44、People can be addicted to different things – e, g alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who
have such an addiction are compulsive (强迫的); they have
a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According
to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must
spend money. This compulsion, like others, is impossible to explain reasonably.
For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more
exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit,
they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually
greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.
There is even a special
psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for
sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often
buy things that they don’t need just because they are
cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are
really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than
other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have
two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and
the real reason.
It is not only scientists,
of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business
people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business.
They consider people’s needs for love, power, or
influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their
advertising and sales methods.
Psychologists often use a
method called behavior therapy(疗法) to help individuals
solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who
feel that they have problems with money.
