The expected value of the number of points for each turn is 0.25

<h3>What is expected value?</h3>

Expected value describes the long term average level of a random variable based on its probabilty distribution.

Now, Probability that 2 heads come up is

P(2 is H) = 1/4

Probability that 1 heads come up is

P(1 is H) = 2/4

⇒P(1 is H) = 1/2

Probability that no head will come up

P(no H's) = 1/4

Hence, the expected value for winning of 2points, 1point and  lose of3 points is given as-

Expected value = 2 * P(2 is H) + 1 * P(1 is H)  - 3 * P(no H's)

⇒Expected value = 2 * 1/4 + 1 * 1/2 - 3 * 1/4

= 0.5 + 0.5 - 0.75

⇒Expected value = 0.25

The segment image is drawn from F(2, 9) to H(10, 1) with point G on the segment. What coordinates for point G will divide image
igomit [66]
Answer: The point (5, 6) would divide the line segment so it is in the ratio of 3:5.

If the ratio of the line segment needs to be 3:5, that means the point will be at the 3/8 distance mark of the line segment. Because there are 8 total parts if the ratio is 3:5 (3 + 5 = 8).

The slope from (2, 9) to (10, 1) is -8/8. So our point would only move 3/8 of that distance. If we multiply -8 and 8 by 3/8, we have -3 and 3.

That means our point must fall 3 and move to the 3 spaces from our starting point of (2, 9). That will put us at (5, 6).
