Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value of the lottery is $83.75.

Variance of the outcome is 909.6.

A risk-neutral person would pay $83.75 or less to play the lottery.

a) The expected value is obtained by multiplying each result by its likelihood.

The expected value of the lottery is then calculated by adding up all of these.

This is,

125(0.25) + 100(0.3) + 50(0.45)

          = $83.75

b) we can calculate the variance as follows:

Variance=.25*(125-83.75)^2+.3*(100-83.75)^2+.45*(50-80)^2=909.6

c) A risk-neutral person would pay $83.75 or less to play the lottery.

The lottery's anticipated worth is $80.

Given that,

The probability of receiving $125 is 0.25; the likelihood of receiving $100 is 0.3; and the likelihood of receiving $50 is 0.45.

A) EV=125*.2+100*.3+50*.5=$80

The lottery's anticipated worth is $80.

The expected value is obtained by multiplying each result by its likelihood.

The expected value of the lottery is then calculated by adding up all of these.

This is what we have: ;;

125(0.2) + 100(0.3) + 50(0.5) (0.5)

= 25 + 30 + 25 = $80

B) This is the formula for variance is shown in figure :

So, we can calculate the variance as follows:

.2*(125-80)^2+.3*(100-80)^2+.5*(50-80)^2=975

C) A risk-neutral person would pay $80 or less to play the lottery.

What is the solution to the system of equations shown below?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

  b.  (1, 3, ­-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.

It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:

  a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18

  b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice

  c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18

  d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18

This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:

  2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1

  -(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2
