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's 789,091 rounded to the hundred thousands
Elena-2011 [213]
We need to round the number to the nearest hundred throusands.
this means that we will check the number after the poaition of the hundred thousands, if it is 5 or more,then we will add one otherwise we will ignore it and add zeros.
based on this, the number in the position next to the hundred thousands is 8 which mean that we will add one to the hundred thousands positions while all others will become zero.
Therefore,
789,091 to the nearest hundred thousands is 800,000

If 49x2 + 28x - 10 is rewritten as p2 + 4p -10, what is p in terms of<br> p=
madam [21]

Answer:

p=7x

Step-by-step explanation:

49x^[2] + 28x - 10 = p^[2] + 4p -10

This equation is in the form a^[2]x + bx + c.

<u><em>The 'c' is common for both equations, this means the 'a' and 'b' must also be common. </em></u>

There are two ways to find p: 'a' or 'b'

<u>a method</u>

49x^[2] = p^[2]

=> The square root of both sides = 7x = p

<u>b method</u>

28x = 4p

28x/4 = 4p/4

7x = p
