A local church holds an annual raffle to raise money for a new roof. They sell only 500 tickets at $50 each. This year's prizes include: $3,000 in cash, four $100 Amazon gift cards, and two $75 Visa gift cards. You buy one ticket. What is your mathematical expectation for this game

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The expectation for an event with outcomes:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

Each one with probability:

{p₁, p₂, ..., pₙ}

Is:

Ev = x₁*p₁ + ... + xₙ*pₙ

There are 500 tickets sold.

1 of these, wins $3,000  (this is the event x₁)

4 of these, wins $100     (this is the event x₂)

2 of these, wins $75        (this is the event x₃)

The others do not have a prize.

So the probability of winning the $3000 is equal to the quotient between the number of tickets with that prize (1) and the total number of tickets (500)

p₁ = 1/500

Similarly, the probability of winning $100 will be:

p₂ = 4/500

And for the $75 prize:

p₃ = 2/500

Then the probability of not winning is:

p₄ = 493/500

Then the expected value for a single ticket is:

Ev = $0*493/500 + $75*2/500 + $100*4/500 + $3000*1/500

Ev = $7.1

If you take in account that you pay $50 for the ticket, the actual expectation should be:

E = $7.10 - $50 = -$42.90

A G.P is such that the 3rd term minus a first term is 48. The 4th term minus 2nd term 144. Find: (i) Common ratio ii) The first term (ii) 6th term of the sequence​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r is the common ratio.

Third term minus first term is 48.

a₃ - a₁ = 48

a₃ = a₁r²

a₁r² - a₁ = 48

a₁(r²-1) = 48

r²-1 = 48/a₁

Fourth term minus second term is 144.

a₄ - a₂ = 144

a₂ = a₁r

a₄ = a₁r³

a₁r³ - a₁r = 144

a₁r(r²-1) = 144

r²-1 = 144/(a₁r)

48/a₁ = 144/(a₁r)

r = 3

:::::

r²-1 = 48/a₁

a₁ = 6

:::::

a₆ = a₁r⁵ = 1458

(i) The common ratio for the given condition is 3.

ii) The first term of the sequence is 6.

iii) The 6th term of the sequence​ is 1458.

What is a sequence?

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

Divergent sequences are those in which the terms never stabilize; instead, they constantly increase or decrease as n approaches infinity,

It is given that a  is a geometric progression such that the 3rd term minus a first term is 48. The 4th term minus the 2nd term 144.

Each number following the first in a geometric sequence is multiplied by a particular number, known as the common ratio.

As the third term minus the first term is 48.

a₃ - a₁ = 48

a₃ = a₁r²

a₁r² - a₁ = 48

a₁(r²-1) = 48

r²-1 = 48/a₁

The fourth term minus the second term is 144.

a₄ - a₂ = 144

a₂ = a₁r

a₄ = a₁r³

a₁r³ - a₁r = 144

a₁r(r²-1) = 144

r²-1 = 144/(a₁r)

48/a₁ = 144/(a₁r)

r = 3

r²-1 = 48/a₁

a₁ = 6

a₆ = a₁r⁵ = 1458

Thus the common ratio for the given condition is 3, the first term of the sequence is 6 and the 6th term of the sequence​ is 1458.

To make concrete, the ratio of cement to sand is 1 : 3. If cement and sand are sold in bags of equal mass, how many bags of cement are required to make concrete using 15 bags of sand?

Answers

Answer:

5 bags of cement are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since to make concrete, the ratio of cement to sand is 1: 3, if cement and sand are sold in bags of equal mass, to determine how many bags of cement are required to make concrete using 15 bags of sand the following calculation must be done:

Cement = 1

Sand = 3

3 = 15

1 = X

15/3 = X

5 = X

Therefore, 5 bags of cement are required.

Answers

Answer:

13.9 (if x is the Hypotenuse)

Step-by-step explanation:

which one is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle) ?

because that determines the calculation.

if x is the Hypotenuse then Pythagoras looks like this

x² = 7² + 12² = 49 + 144 = 193

x = sqrt(193) = 13.9

if 12 is the Hypotenuse, then it looks like this

12² = 7² + x²

144 = 49 + x²

95 = x²

x = sqrt(95) = 9.75

f of 2 = negative 10
f of 0 = 6
f of 1 = negative 10

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question:

The function f (x) is given by the set of ordered pairs 1,0 (-10,2), (0,6) (3,17) (-2,-1) which equation is true

f(-10)=1

f(2)=-10

f(0)=6

Answers

Answer:

0.26684

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean, μ = 62.5

Standard deviation, σ = 1.96

P(Z ≥ 63.72)

The Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

P(Z ≥ (x - μ) / σ)

P(Z ≥ (63.72 - 62.5) / 1. 96) = P(Z ≥ 0.6224)

P(Z ≥ 0.6224) = 1 - P(Z < 0.6224)

SUB

Answers

Answer:

A one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x - 5) = 3x + 7

Distribute

4x - 20 = 3x+7

Subtract 3x from each side

4x-3x-20 = 3x+7-3x

x -20 = 7

Add 20 to each side

x -20+20 = 7+20

x = 27

There is one solution

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify that before we make the decision, shall we? We'll get rid of the parenthesis by distribution and then combine like terms.

4x - 20 = 3x + 7 and combining like terms and getting everything on one side of the equals sign:

1x - 27 = 0. Since that x has a power of 1 on it (linear), that means we have only 1 solution. If that was an x², we would have 2 solutions; if that was an x³, we would have 3 solutions, etc.

A survey of 77 teenagers finds that 30 have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week. a. Give a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of teenagers who have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week. b. In the general population, 30% have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week. Is there evidence that a higher proportion of teenagers have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week than the general population

Answers

Answer:

a) The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of teenagers who have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week is (0.2982, 0.481).

b) 30% = 0.3 is part of the confidence interval, which means that there is no evidence that a higher proportion of teenagers have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week than the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

A survey of 77 teenagers finds that 30 have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week.

This means that [tex]n = 77, \pi = \frac{30}{77} = 0.3896[/tex]

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3896 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.3896*0.6104}{77}} = 0.2982[/tex]

The upper limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.3896 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.3896*0.6104}{77}} = 0.481[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval for the proportion of teenagers who have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week is (0.2982, 0.481).

Question b:

30% = 0.3 is part of the confidence interval, which means that there is no evidence that a higher proportion of teenagers have 5 or more servings of soft drinks a week than the general population.

Construct the confidence interval for the population standard deviation for the given values. Round your answers to one decimal place. n=21 , s=3.3, and c=0.9

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is "[tex]2.633< \sigma < 4.480[/tex]".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

n = 21

s = 3.3

c = 0.9

now,

[tex]df = n-1[/tex]

    [tex]=20[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x^2_{\frac{\alpha}{2}, n-1 }[/tex] = [tex]x^2_{\frac{0.9}{2}, 21-1 }[/tex]

                  = [tex]31.410[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x^2_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}, n-1 }[/tex] = [tex]10.851[/tex]

hence,

The 90% Confidence interval will be:

= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(n-1)s^2}{x^2_{\frac{\alpha}{2}, n-1 }} } < \sigma < \sqrt{\frac{(n-1)s^2}{x^2_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}, n-1 }}[/tex]

= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{(21-1)3.3^2}{31.410} } < \sigma < \sqrt{\frac{(21.1)3.3^2}{10.851} }[/tex]

= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{20\times 3.3^2}{31.410} } < \sigma < \sqrt{\frac{20\times 3.3^2}{10.851} }[/tex]

= [tex]2.633< \sigma < 4.480[/tex]

Find x and explain how you found x

Answers

Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

There are different ways to find x but this is what I found easiest.

To solve first note that AOD and CFB are vertical angles; this means that they are congruent. AOD consists of two angles with the measurements of 90 and x. CFB consists of two angles with the measurements of 30 and 2x. So, to find x set add the adjacent angles and set them equal to the other pair of angles. The equation would be [tex]90+x=30+2x[/tex]. First, subtract x from both sides; this makes the equation [tex]90=30+x[/tex]. Then, subtract 30 from both sides. This gives the final answer, x=60.

Is this true or false ??

Answers

Answer:  True

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

Explanation:

We'll use these two properties of integrals [tex]\displaystyle \text{If f(x) is an even function, then } \int_{-a}^{a}f(x)dx = 2\int_{0}^{a}f(x)dx[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \text{If f(x) is an odd function, then } \int_{-a}^{a}f(x)dx = 0[/tex]

These properties are valid simply because of the function's symmetry. For even functions, we have vertical axis symmetry about x = 0; while odd functions have symmetry about the origin.

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

Here's how the steps could look

[tex]\displaystyle \int_{-7}^{7}(ax^8+bx+c)dx=\int_{-7}^{7}((ax^8+c)+bx)dx\\\\\\\displaystyle \int_{-7}^{7}(ax^8+bx+c)dx=\int_{-7}^{7}(ax^8+c)dx+\int_{-7}^{7}(bx)dx\\\\\\\displaystyle \int_{-7}^{7}(ax^8+bx+c)dx=\left(2\int_{0}^{7}(ax^8+c)dx\right)+(0)\\\\\\\displaystyle \int_{-7}^{7}(ax^8+bx+c)dx=2\int_{0}^{7}(ax^8+c)dx\\\\\\[/tex]

Therefore, the given statement is true. The values of a,b,c don't matter. You could replace those '7's with any real number you want and still end up with a true statement.

We can see that ax^8+c is always even, while bx is always odd.

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

Side note:

For the second step, I used the idea that [tex]\int(f(x)+g(x))dx=\int f(x)dx+\int g(x)dx\\\\[/tex]

which allows us to break up a sum into smaller integrals.
