Answer:

4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is 1.

As the die is loaded so that the number 4 occurs 3/10 of the time, and the other numbers occur with equal frequency, then the probability of numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 being rolled is 1/10.

Create a probability distribution table for X, where X is the score on the loaded 8-sided die:

\begin{array}{ | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c |}\cline{1-9}x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 \\\cline{1-9} & & & & & & & &\\ \text{P}(X=x) & \dfrac{1}{10} & \dfrac{1}{10} & \dfrac{1}{10} & \dfrac{3}{10} & \dfrac{1}{10} & \dfrac{1}{10} & \dfrac{1}{10} & \dfrac{1}{10}\\& & & & & & & &\\\cline{1-9}\end{array}

Add a product row and a totals column:

\begin{array}{ | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c |}\cline{1-10}x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 &\text{Total} \\ \cline{1-10} &&&&&&&&& \\ \text{P}(X=x) & \frac{1}{10} & \frac{1}{10} & \frac{1}{10} & \frac{3}{10} & \frac{1}{10} & \frac{1}{10} & \frac{1}{10} & \frac{1}{10} & 1\\ &&&&&&&&&\\ \cline{1-10} &&&&&&&&&\\\text{Product} & \frac{1}{10} & \frac{2}{10} & \frac{3}{10} & \frac{12}{10} & \frac{5}{10} & \frac{6}{10} & \frac{7}{10} & \frac{8}{10} & \frac{44}{10} \\ &&&&&&&&&\\\cline{1-10}\end{array}

(The Product is row is the product of the <u>score on the die</u> and <u>its probability</u>).

The expected value (EV) is the sum of the product of each outcome and its probability.  

Therefore, the expected value (EV) of this die is 44/10 = 4.4

A reflecting pool is shaped like a square with a side length of 4 meters. What is the perimeter of the​ pool? Explain how you fo
True [87]

Answer:

16 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two things to keep in mind at this point, the first is that a square has all its sides equal and the second is that the perimeter in this type of figure is the sum of all the sides.

Knowing the above, we can deduce that therefore each side of the square measures 4 meters and the perimeter could be calculated since we know the value of all the sides, we know that a square has four sides:

p = 4 +4 +4 +4

p = 16

that is to say that the perimeter is equal to 16 meters.
