The expected worth of a coin flip are gain of $1/102 or a loss of $112.

Given probability that head lands=1/34 , probability that tails lands is 1/14, amount won if head comes=1/3, amount lost if tails comes=1/8.

We have to find the expected worth of a coin flip.

Probability is the chance of happening an event among all the events possible. The formula of calculating probability is as under:

Probability= number of items/ total items.

Probability that head comes=1/34

Amount get after head comes=$1/3

Expected value if head comes=1/3*1/34=$1/102

Probability that tails come=1/14

Amount that lost when tails come=$1/8

Expected value if tails come=1/14*1/8

=-$1/112

Total expected value of a coin flip=1/102-1/112

=10/11424

=$5/5712

It is in positive because the value we get after coming head is greater than value lost when tails come.

Hence the expected value of flick of a coin is $5/5712.

Answer: 7800

Step-by-step explanation:

As English alphabet has 26 letters.

So , Choices for First character in the code = 26

The choices for digits = 10  (From 0 to 9)

So , choices for second character = 10  (Middle two characters must be numbers)

choices for third character = 10            (Middle two characters must be numbers)

Choices for last character = 3   (the  last character must be a 1, 3, or 7)

By Fundamental principle of counting , the total number of four character codes can be generated =

(Choices for First character)x (choices for digits) x(choices for digits) x(Choices for last character)

= (26) (10)(10)(3) =7800

Hence, the total number of character codes can be generated= 7800

Question 40 and it about adding and subtracting polynomials
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

39x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is all the sides added together so

9x + 8x - 2 + 5x + 1 + 17x - 6

Since you can't solve it you just want to simplify the equation, add the like terms together

9x+8x+5x+17x = 39x

-2+1-6 = -7

Your equation is 39x-7

Faye’s bank charges her a $2.25 service fee every time she uses an out-of-network ATM. If Faye uses an out-of-network ATM twice
Mars2501 [29]

Answer: the amount of money that she pays in service fees yearly is $234

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of times that Faye uses an out of network ATM is twice in a week. Assuming that the total number of weeks in a year is 52 weeks in a year. It means that the number of times that she uses an out of network ATM in a year is 62 × 2 = 104 times.

Faye’s bank charges her a $2.25 service fee every time she uses an out-of-network ATM. It means that the total cost for using an Faye’s bank charges her a $2.25 service fee every time she uses an out-of-network ATM for 104 times will be

2.25 × 104 = $234
