A boardwalk game of chance costs 2 dollars to play. You have a 20% chance of winning 1 dollar, a 25% chance of winning back your entire 2 dollars, and a 35% chance to win 5 dollars. What is the expected value of playing the game if you lose your bet 20% of the time?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

For a give event with outcomes:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

Each with probabilities:

{p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ}

The expected value is:

Ev = x₁*p₁ + ... + xₙ*pₙ

Here we have the outcomes and probabilities:

win $1, with a probability 20%/100% = 0.2

win $2, with a probability 25%/100% = 0.25

win $5, with a probability of 35%/100% = 0.35

do not win, with a probability of 20%/100% = 0.2

Then the expected value of the game is:

Ev = $1*0.2 + $2*0.25 + $5*0.35 + $0*0.2 = $2.45

And if we know that the game costs $2, then the expected value is:

Ev = $2.45 - $2 = $0.45

The expected value is  $0.45

suppose you roll to standard number cubes. let event a be rolling a 4 on the first die and let event b be rolling a 3 on the second die. are a and b independent events? are a and b mutually exclusive events. explain.

Answers

Answer:

The events are independent and are not mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events A and B are independent if the outcome of each of them does not affect the outcome of the other.

And two events are mutually exclusive if these can't occur at the same time.

Here the events are:

a = rolling a 4 on the first die

b = rolling a 3 on the second die.

Becuase, these are number cubes, we know that the outcome of one die has no impact in the outcome of the other die.

And because each outcome is on a different die, we can conclude that these events are independent.

(rolling a 4 in the first die does not change the probability of getting a 3 when we roll the second die).

Now, the events are mutually exclusive?

No, we can roll both dices and get a 3 in the first one and a 4 in the second one, so these events can happen in the same time.

Answer:

YES.

Step-by-step explanation:

The event rolling a number '4' and the event rolling a number '3' are mutually exclusive events because both of them cannot occur at the same time.

Answer:

3/4 more hours

Hours taken to clean bedroom = 5/4

Hours taken to clean den = 1/2

How much more = 5/4 - 1/2

3/4 more hours (It's a propper fraction, so we can't write it as a mixed number)

20 men, 10 women and 10 children are in a competition.
The mean score for the women is 15.6.
The mean score for the children is 9.2.
Kevin says that the mean score for all 40 people is 11.2.
Work out the mean score for the men.

Answers

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean score for the women = 15.6

Sum of score for the women = 15.6*10 = 156

The mean score for the children = 9.2

Sum of score for the children = 9.2 * 10 = 92

The mean score for all 40 people = 11.2

Sum of the score of 40 people = 11.2 *40 = 448

Sum of the score for 20 men = 448 - 92 - 156 = 200

Mean of the score for the men = 200÷ 20 =20

Another example of a number who's square root is greater than the number is  [tex]\sqrt{0.49}[/tex] which is 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

This square root is larger than the number because it is a decimal. When you multiply a decimal by a decimal, the decimal point becomes greater. For example: 0.7 multiplied by 0.7 equals 0.49 which has 2 decimal places, while 0.7 only has one.

Find the missing length of the following trapezoid

Answer:

1) The length of [tex]DC[/tex] is 20.

2) The length of [tex]PS[/tex] is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If [tex]DR = RE[/tex] and [tex]CS = SB[/tex], then we can use the following proportionality ratio:

[tex]\frac{DE}{DR} = \frac{32 - x}{26 - x}[/tex] (1)

Where [tex]x[/tex] is the length of segment [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex].

If [tex]DE = 2\cdot DR[/tex], then the value of [tex]x[/tex] is:

[tex]2 = \frac{32-x}{26-x}[/tex]

[tex]52 - 2\cdot x = 32 - x[/tex]

[tex]20 = x[/tex]

The length of [tex]DC[/tex] is 20.

2) If [tex]QV = VP[/tex] and [tex]RW = WS[/tex], then we can use the following proportionality ratio:

[tex]\frac{QP}{QV} = \frac{x-7}{12-7}[/tex] (2)

Where [tex]x[/tex] is the length of segment [tex]\overline{PS}[/tex].

If [tex]QP = 2\cdot QV[/tex], then the value of [tex]x[/tex] is:

[tex]x = 17[/tex]

The length of [tex]PS[/tex] is 17.

Help anyone can help me do 16 and 17 question,I will mark brainlest.The no 16 question is find the area of the shaded region​

Answers

Answer:

Question 16 = 22

Question 17 = 20 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Concepts:

Area of Square = s²

s = side

Area of Triangle = bh/2

b = baseh = height

Diagonals of the square are congruent and bisect each other, which forms a right angle with 90°

Segment addition postulate states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

Solve:

Question # 16

Step One: Find the total area of two squares

Large square: 5 × 5 = 25

Small square: 2 × 2 = 4

25 + 4 = 29

Step Two: Find the area of the blank triangle

b = 5 + 2 = 7

h = 2

A = bh / 2

A = (7) (2) / 2

A = 14 / 2

A = 7

Step Three: Subtract the area of the blank triangle from the total area

Total area = 29

Area of Square = 7

29 - 7 = 22

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

Question # 17

Step One: Find the length of PT

Given:

PR = 4 cmRT = 6 cm

PT = PR + RT [Segment addition postulate]

PT = (4) + (6)

PT = 10 cm

Step Two: Find the length of S to PT perpendicularly

According to the diagonal are perpendicular to each other and congruent. Therefore, the length of S to PT perpendicularly is half of the diagonal

Length of Diagonal = 4 cm

4 ÷ 2 = 2 cm

Step Three: Find the area of ΔPST

b = PT = 10 cm

h = S to PT = 2 cm

A = bh / 2

A = (10)(2) / 2

A = 20 / 2

A = 10 cm²

Step Four: Find the length of Q to PT perpendicularly

Similar to step two, Q is the endpoint of one diagonal, and by definition, diagonals are perpendicular and congruent with each other. Therefore, the length of Q to PT perpendicularly is half of the diagonal.

Length of Diagonal = 4 cm

4 ÷ 2 = 2 cm

Step Five: Find the area of ΔPQT

b = PT = 10 cm

h = Q to PT = 2 cm

A = bh / 2

A = (10)(2) / 2

A = 20 / 2

A = 10 cm²

Step Six: Combine area of two triangles to find the total area

Area of ΔPST = 10 cm²

Area of ΔPQT = 10 cm²

10 + 10 = 20 cm²

A car travelling at v kilometers per hour will need a stopping distance, d, in meters without skidding that can be modelled by the function d=0.0067v2+0.15v. Determine the speed at which a car can be travelling to be able to stop within 37m.

I’m need of serious help!

Answers

Answer:

v =  14 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 0.0067[tex]v^{2}[/tex] + 0.15v

differentiate the function with respect to v to have;

d = 0.0134v - 0.15

given that the distance without skidding = 37 m (0.037 km) , then;

0.037 = 0.0134v - 0.15

0.0134v = 0.037 + 0.15

             = 0.187

v = [tex]\frac{0.187}{0.0134}[/tex]

  = 13.9552

v =  14 km/h

The speed of the car travelling would be 14 km/h to be able to stop within 37m.

A bus has less than 42 seats. If 36 seats are already occupied, write an

B.) x + 36 < 42
C.) x - 36 > 42
D.) x + 36 > 57

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A x - 36 <42 is wrong because its saying how many can be added

B x +36 < 42 this one is most likely correct because its displays x as how many can be added

C x - 36 > 42 this is wrong because the bus has less than 42 seats

D x + 36 >57 like i said cant be over 42

The inequality representing the possible number of passengers that can be added to the bus is Option(B) x + 36 < 42.

What is inequality ?

An inequality is a relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two numbers or other mathematical expressions. Inequality is used most often to compare two numbers on the number line by their size. There is always a definite equation to represent it.

How to form the given inequality equation ?

Let x be the number of passengers that can be added to the bus.

It is given that the bus has less than 42 seats and 36 seats are already occupied.

The sum of the remaining seats which are to be filled by the passenger and the 36 seats which are filled, must be less than the total seats that is 42.

Therefore the inequality equation becomes,

x + 36 < 42.

Thus, the inequality representing the possible number of passengers that can be added to the bus is Option(B) x + 36 < 42.
