a. A contest entrant has a 0.002 probability of winning $12,165. If this is the only prize and the fee is $35, then find the expected value of winning the contest.
b. The probability of winning a lottery is 0.125, what is the probability of winning at least once in twelve trials?

Answers

Answer 1

Part (a)

If you win $12165, then you really net 12165-35 = 12130 dollars when you consider the ticket fee. So this is the true amount of money you win, or take home at the end of the day. This is before taxes.

Multiply 0.002 with 12,130 to get 0.002*12130 = 24.26

We'll use this later so let A = 24.26

The chances that you don't win are 1 - 0.002 = 0.998 which multiplies with -35 to indicate you lost $35 in playing the game. So we get B = 0.998*(-35) = -34.93

Lastly, add the values of A and B to get the expected value:

A+B = 24.26 + (-34.93) = -10.67 is the expected value.

On average, you expect to lose about $10.67 for any time you play the game.

Answer:  -10.67 dollars

===========================================================

Part (b)

0.125 is the probability of winning so 1-0.125 = 0.875 is the probability of losing.

Let's say you get really unlucky and lose 12 times in a row. Assuming each trial (aka case when you play the game) is independent, this would mean the probability of such an event is (0.875)^12 = 0.2014172, which is approximate.

Subtract that from 1 to get the probability of winning at least once

1 - (0.875)^12 = 1 - 0.2014172 = 0.7985828

which is also approximate. If we rounded to three decimal places, then it would be 0.799; I'm picking three decimals since 0.125 is to three decimal places. Round however you need to if otherwise.

Answer:  0.799 (approximate)

D. 22, 33, 41, 56, 69​

Answers

Answer: A: 22, 33, 45.5, 56, 59

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum is the lowest number in the data, in this case, it was 22.

Q1 is the median of the lower quartile range, anything below the median of the overall data.

Median, the middle number in the overall data. You first need to put them from lowest to highest (numerical order). After that, I find it a lot easier to cross one from each side until I'm either left with one or two. If I'm left with one, then that is my median for the overall data set. If I'm left with two, then I simply need to add both the numbers together and divide it by 2. Typically if it is a whole number, and the numbers are 1 number value away from each other, it is usually just 0.5 more of the lower value of the two. (For example, the two numbers I come down to is 10 and 11. The median would be 10.5).

Q3 is the exact same principle as Q1 just on the upper quartile range. Just repeat what you did in Q1 but for the numbers above the overall median of the data set.

Maximum is the highest number in the data set, in this case, it was 69.

Hope this helps!

Answers

Answers:  x = 30 and y = 150

============================================================

Explanation:

For any cyclic quadrilateral (aka inscribed quadrilateral), the opposite angles are always supplementary.

One pair of such angles is A and C

A+C = 180

x+y = 180 is one equation to form

The other pair of supplementary angles is B and D

B+D = 180

y-45+2x+15 = 180

2x+y-30 = 180

2x+y = 180+30

2x+y = 210 is the other equation to form

--------------

So the system of equations we have is

[tex]\begin{cases}x+y = 180\\2x+y = 210\end{cases}[/tex]

Both equations involve 'y', with the same coefficient, so we can subtract straight down to eliminate this variable.

The x terms subtract to x-2x = -xThe y terms subtract to y-y = 0y = 0, so the y terms go awayThe right hand sides subtract to 180-210 = -30

We end up with -x = -30 which solves to x = 30

--------------

Once we know x, we can determine y by plugging it into any equation involving x,y and solving for y

Let's say we picked on the first equation

x+y = 180

30+y = 180

y = 180-30

y = 150

Or we could pick on the second equation

2x+y = 210

2(30) + y = 210

60+y = 210

y = 210-60

y = 150

Only one equation is needed. However, doing both like this shows that we get the same y value, and it helps confirm the answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

35:100*15=5.25- ml of alkali in the base solution

Suppose we need x ml of 10 percents solution and 35-x - of 20 percents.

Then The quantity of alkali in the first one (10 percents) is x/100*10=0.1x

when in the second one we have (35-x)/100*20= 7-0.2x of alkali

0.1x+7-0.2x=5.25

7-0.1x= 5.25

0.1x=1.75

x=17.5- 0f 10 percents

35-17.5=17.5 - of 20 percents

Which best describes the process of selecting a cluster sample?

Members of a population are organized in clusters, each of which is representative of the population, and then whole clusters are randomly selected to make up the sample.
Members of a population are ordered by some characteristic, and then a cluster sample is formed by selecting every kth member.
Members of a population are separated into clusters based on a characteristic important to the study and a random sample is selected from each cluster.

Answers

Answer:

"Members of a population are organized in clusters, each of which is representative of the population, and then whole clusters are randomly selected to make up the sample"

Step-by-step explanation:

In cluster random sampling, "the population is divided, usually geographically, into groups that generally have the same size.  A certain number of groups are randomly chosen, and every individual in the chosen groups are chosen for the sample."

In accord with this logic, the second choice, "Members of a population are organized in clusters, each of which is representative of the population, and then whole clusters are randomly selected to make up the sample" seems to be correct.

Step by step proof shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove the equation, you need to apply the Logarithm quotient rule and the Logarithm power rule. Here's how the quotient rule looks like.

[tex]log_b(x/y) = log_b(x) - log_b(y)[/tex]

And here's how the power rule looks like

[tex]log_a(x)^n = nlog_a(x)[/tex]

First let's apply the quotient rule.

[tex]\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} = \frac{log_a(x+h)-log_a(x) }{h} = \frac{log_a(\frac{x+h}{x} )}{h}[/tex]

Now we can do some quick simplification, and apply the power rule.

[tex]\frac{1}{h} log_a(1 + \frac{h}{x} ) = log_a(1+\frac{h}{x} )^\frac{1}{h}[/tex]

Decompose -6x/(x+2)(x+8) into partial fractions.

Answers

The partial fraction expansion takes the form

-6x/((x + 2) (x + 8)) = a/(x + 2) + b/(x + 8)

Both factors in the denominator are linear, so the numerators in the corresponding partial fractions have degree 1 - 1 = 0 and are thus constants.

Combine the fractions on the right side into one with a common denominator, then set the numerators on both sides of the equation equal to each other:

-6x = a (x + 8) + b (x + 2)

Expand the right side and collect terms by powers of x :

-6x = (a + b) x + (8a + 2b)

It follows that

a + b = -6   and   8a + 2b = 0

==>   a = -2   and   b = 8

So we end up with

-6x/((x + 2) (x + 8)) = -2/(x + 2) + 8/(x + 8)

Find the measure of the missing angles.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

e = 61°, f = 119°, and d = 90°

We know that vertically opposite angles are equal.

So, e = 61° [Vertically opposite angles]

We know that linear pair of angles are supplementary (180°).

So, f + 61° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

=> f = 180° - 61°

=> f = 119°

and d + 90° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

=> d = 180° - 90°

=> d = 90°

Is the relationship shown by the data linear? If so, model the data with an equation.

Answers

Answer:

The relation is linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Yes, the relationship shown is linear. The equation of the line is y=-1.25x-13.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

This data is linear as y decreases at a constant rate. The equation of a line is y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y intercept

To find m:

m=[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

m=[tex]\frac{(-2)-(-7)}{(-9)-(-5)}[/tex]

m=[tex]\frac{5}{-4}[/tex]

m=[tex]-\frac{5}{4}[/tex]=-1.25

To find b, you can use any of the given points:

(-9,-2)

(-2)=-1.25(-9)+b

-2=11.25+b

-2-11.25=b

b=-13.25

Therefore, using the calculated values for m and b:

y=mx+b

y=-1.25x-13.25
