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

Evaluate 5(x + y)2 when x = 3 and y = 9
irakobra [83]

Hey there!

Answer:\boxed{120}

Explanation:

5(x+y)2 when x = 3 and y = 9

Let's first move to x and y.

x=3\\y=9\\3+9=12

Now multiply 5 by x and y(3+9).

5*12(\text{x and y combined)}=60

Now we have the number 2 left, so we have to multiply 60 by 2.

60*2=120

\boxed{120}\text{ is your final answer.}

Hope this helps!

Oh. It's rounding. So, for example, depending what you were told to round to, the second problem would be 760-330=430
