Find the expected value of the winnings

Mathematics
1 answer:
Orlov [11]2 years ago
7 0

The expected value of the winnings from the game is $4

<h3>How to determine the expected value?</h3>

The payout probability distribution is given as:

Payout ($) 2 4 6 8 10

Probability 0.5 0.2 0.15 0.1 0.05

The expected value is then calculated as:

E(x) = \sum x * P(x)

This gives

E(x) = 2 * 0.5 + 4 * 0.2 + 6 * 0.15 + 8 * 0.1 + 10 * 0.05

Evaluate the expression

E(x) = 4

Hence, the expected value of the winnings from the game is $4

Describe how (2 cubed) (2 superscript negative 4) can be simplified.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

<u>Given</u>:

The given expression is (2^3)(2^{-4})

We need to determine how the expression can be simplified.

<u>Simplifying the expression:</u>

Let us determine how the expression can be simplified.

The expression is given by

(2^3)(2^{-4})

Applying the exponent rule that a^{b} \cdot a^{c}=a^{b+c} in the above expression, we get;

2^{3} \cdot 2^{-4}=2^{3-4}

Adding the exponents, we get;

2^{3} \cdot 2^{-4}=2^{-1}

Again, applying the exponent rule a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a}, we get;

2^{3} \cdot 2^{-4}=\frac{1}{2}

Thus, the simplified expression is \frac{1}{2}

Hence, the expression is simplified by adding the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, 1) and (-8, 4)
telo118 [61]

Answer:

y= -1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1/x-x1=y2-y1/x2-x1

y-1/x+2=-1/2

2y-2= -x-2

2y= -x-2+2

2y=-x

y=-1x/2„
