Answer:
720 possible ways
Step-by-step explanation:
The gold is awarded to the first position, the silver is awarded to the second position while the bronze is awarded to the third position.
The first position can be taken by any of the 10 runners
Now, the second position can be taken by remaining 9 runners
while the third position can be taken by the renaming 8 runners.
Thus, the number of ways in which these medals can be awarded = 10 * 9 * 8 = 720 ways
Answer:
$86.35
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount he spent at Kroger
= $83.47 on groceries. +coupon for $1.99 off bottled water + $0.89 off organic strawberries
= 83.47+0.89+1.99
= $86.35
X = 50 (Is parallel to the y-axis so there is no intersection point)
Y= 40 (Is parallel to the x-axis so there is no intersection point)
Both no intercept with the other
Answer:
x=82
Step-by-step explanation:
53+45=98
180-98=82
Answer: -1
The negative value indicates a loss
============================================================
Explanation:
Define the three events
A = rolling a 7
B = rolling an 11
C = roll any other total (don't roll 7, don't roll 11)
There are 6 ways to roll a 7. They are
1+6 = 7
2+5 = 7
3+4 = 7
4+3 = 7
5+2 = 7
6+1 = 7
Use this to compute the probability of rolling a 7
P(A) = (number of ways to roll 7)/(number total rolls) = 6/36 = 1/6
Note: the 36 comes from 6*6 = 36 since there are 6 sides per die
There are only 2 ways to roll an 11. Those 2 ways are:
5+6 = 11
6+5 = 11
The probability for event B is P(B) = 2/36 = 1/18
Since there are 6 ways to roll a "7" and 2 ways to roll "11", there are 6+2 = 8 ways to roll either event.
This leaves 36-8 = 28 ways to roll anything else
P(C) = 28/36 = 7/9
-----------------------------
In summary so far,
P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = 1/18
P(C) = 7/9
The winnings for each event, let's call it W(X), represents the prize amounts.
Any losses are negative values
W(A) = amount of winnings if event A happens
W(B) = amount of winnings if event B happens
W(C) = amount of winnings if event C happens
W(A) = 18
W(B) = 54
W(C) = -9
Multiply the probability P(X) values with the corresponding W(X) values
P(A)*W(A) = (1/6)*(18) = 3
P(B)*W(B) = (1/18)*(54) = 3
P(C)*W(C) = (7/9)*(-9) = -7
Add up those results
3+3+(-7) = -1
The expected value for this game is -1.
The player is expected to lose on average 1 dollar per game played.
Note: because the expected value is not 0, this is not a fair game.
