A game is played with the following rules. Three ordinary coins are flipped and count as a single "turn" in the game.
Each coin could land on heads or tails. After their turn a player is given a certain number of points depending on the
outcome.
•If the result is 3 heads, the player receives +4 points.
• If the result is 2 heads, the player receives +2 points.
• If the result is anything else, the player receives -1 point.
What is the expected value of the number of points a player will receive after a turn?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:   0.75

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

Explanation:

H = heads

T = tails

Something like HHT means we get two heads in a row at first, followed by one tail. The order matters. Since there are 2 sides per coin, and 3 coins, this leads to 2^3 = 8 different possible ways to flip three coins.

Those 8 outcomes are:

HHHHHTHTHHTTTHHTHTTTHTTT

Again the order matters.

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

Now let's define the following events

A = event of getting three headsB = event of getting exactly two headsC = event of getting 1 head, or getting 0 heads

There's only one way to get three heads, and that's HHH. So P(A) = 1/8.

There are three ways to get exactly two heads. Those three ways are: HHT, HTH, THH. This means P(B) = 3/8.

From those two probabilities, we then know that P(C) = 4/8 = 1/2 since there are 1+3 = 4 ways to get two or more heads, leaving 8-4 = 4 ways to get the other situations.

Now let's define function notation V(A) to mean "the net value of event A occurring". It's the number of points you receive if event A happens. We are given the following info:

V(A) = 4V(B) = 2V(C) = -1

From here, multiply the probability values with their corresponding net values

P(A)*V(A) = (1/8)*(4) = 0.5P(B)*V(B) = (3/8)*(2) = 0.75P(C)*V(C) = (1/2)*(-1) = -0.5

Finally, add up those results to get the expected value: 0.5+0.75+(-0.5) = 0.75

Each time a turn happens, we expect on average to get 0.75 points

Imagine a scenario where you play the game 10,000 times. If you record the result of each turn and then compute the arithmetic mean, you should get somewhere close to 0.75; it likely wont be 0.75 exactly due to the nature of theoretical probability and empirical probability not being perfectly aligned. However, due to the law of large numbers, the two should be very close when you do a large number of trials.

Because we're dealing with averages, it is possible to get a decimal value as the answer even though the point values of events A,B,C are integers.

A local company had revenues of $2,800 last year. They spent 1/4 of their revenues on marketing and 1/7 of the remaining money on upgrading their facilities. How much money did they have left after marketing and upgrading the facilities? Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

$1,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total revenue last year = $2,800

If they spent 1/4 of their revenues on marketing;

Amount spent on marketing = 1/4 * 2800

Amount spent on marketing = $700

Remaining money = 2800 - 700

Remaining money = $2100

If 1/7 of the remaining money is spent on upgrading their facilities, then;

Amount spent on upgrading facilities = 1/7 * 2100

Amount spent on upgrading facilities = $300

Total amount spent on marketing and facilities  = $700 + $300

Total amount spent on marketing and facilities  = $1000

Amount left = $2,800 - $1,000

Amount left = $1,800

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the percent discount by dividing the change in the price by the original price:

(684 - 478.6) / 684

205.4 / 684

= 0.3

So, the percent discount was approximately 30%

A fitness center charges $3 per visit plus a monthly fee of $30. How much would it cost in one month if Ella has 18 visits?
$48
$54
$84
$90

Answers

Answer:

84$

Step-by-step explanation:

It says it costs $3 per visit and Ella went 18 times

So we can describe that as x represents the times she has visited, x=18, so 3(18)

now we just add $30 dollars since she only went in one month and $30 is the fee per month so that would be (3*18=) 54+30

which would then give you $84 dollars!

of its height. Half of the water is then poured out. How
much water is left in the container? Give your answer in litres.​

Answers

Answer: 9 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The dimension of the rectangular container is [tex]40\times 30\times 25\ cm^3[/tex]

It is filled with [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] of the height

Water present in the container

[tex]\Rightarrow 40\times 30\times 25\times \dfrac{3}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow 18000\ cm^3[/tex]

Also, [tex]1\ L=1000\ cm^3[/tex]

[tex]\therefore 18,000\ cm^3=18\ L[/tex]

Now, half of the water is poured out

So, half is left

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{18}{2}=9\ L[/tex]

Thus, 9 L of water is left in the container

Representar las rectas a, b y c y determinar si son paralelas (o perpendiculares) dos a dos. A: y=−3x+5 | b: y =x/3+2 | c: y=−3x+1

Answers

Answer:

A y C: paralelas

B y A: perpendiculares

B y C: perpendiculares.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sea una recta:

f(x) = a*x + b

Donde a es la pendiente y b es la ordenada al origen.

Otra recta va a ser paralela a esta si tiene la misma pendiente, pero una diferente ordenada al origen, por ejemplo:

g(x) = a*x + c

Y una recta perpendicular a f(x) tendría una pendiente p = -(1/a)

Entonces podemos escribir la línea perpendicular a f(x) como:

h(x) = -(1/a)*x + c

Ahora veamos nuestras líneas:

A(x) =  y = −3*x+5

B(x) = y = x/3+2 = (1/3)*x + 2

C(x) = y = -3*x + 1

Primero veamos cuáles son paralelas:

A(x) y C(x) tienen la misma pendiente (-3) y diferente ordenada al origen, entonces  A y C son paralelas.

Sabiendo que la pendiente de A y C es -3, una línea perpendicular a esta tendría una pendiente:

-(1/-3) = 1/3

Que es justamente la pendiente que tiene la línea B, entonces podemos concluir que B es perpendicular a las líneas A y C.

A y C: paralelas

B y A: perpendiculares

B y C: perpendiculares.

Kelly's team won 85% of the games they played in a season. The team lost 12 games. How many games did Kelly's team win in the season?

Answers

Answer:

68 games

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Games won = 85%

Game lost = 12

Here, 100% - 85% = 12

15% = 12

or 1% = 0.8

So, total games played (100%) = 80 games

Now, number of games won = Total games - Games lost

= 80 - 12

= 68 games

Hence, Kelly's team wins 68 games in the season.
