First find the possible dices rolls that give you 10, 11, and 12

Gives 10:
5,5
4,6
6,4

Gives 11 or 12:
5,6
6,5
6,6

The dice rolls have 6 * 6 = 36 possible combinations

The probability of getting a 10 is 3/32
The probability of getting an 11 or 12 is 3/32

multiplying those probabilities together with their reward/loss we have:

3/32 * -8 = -3/4
3/32 * 11 = 33/32

to make the game "fair" we need the probable amount of money you can win to be $0, so we can use the equation

-3/4 + 33/32 + (32/32 - 6/32)*x = 0

then you can just solve for x

Answer:

Loss of $ 0.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, when two dices are rolled,

Then the all possible outcomes = 36,

Also, the possible way of getting the sum of 10 are,

(4, 5), (5, 4), (5, 5),

So, the possibility of getting the sum of 10 = \frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}

Now, the possible way of getting the sum of 11 or 12 are,

(5, 6), (6, 5), (6, 6),

So, the possibility of getting the sum of 11 or 12 = \frac{3}{36}=\frac{1}{12}

Now, the possible number of ways of getting other number= 36 - 3 - 3 = 30,

Thus, the possibility of getting other number = \frac{30}{36}=\frac{5}{6}

Given, for getting the sum of 10 profit is -$ 8, for the sum of 11 or 12 the profit is $11,  ( '-' sign shows the loss )

Let x be the profit of getting other number,

So, the expected value of the game = \frac{1}{12}\times -8+\frac{1}{12}\times 11 + \frac{5}{6}\times x

=-\frac{8}{12}+\frac{11}{12}+\frac{5x}{6}

If the game is fair,

Expected value of game = 0

\implies -\frac{8}{12}+\frac{11}{12}+\frac{5x}{6}=0

\frac{3+10x}{12}=0

3+10x=0

x=-0.3

Hence, there should be a loss of $ 0.3 if any other number turns up in order for the game to be​ fair.

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

the area of the space he can cover with carpet =  16x⁴ yards²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the square is not shown in this question.

Let assume that the base of the shape of the square is 2x² yards.

and Manny has four of that.

Then side we known the base, we can calculate for the area of the square.

Area of a square = l²

Area of a square = (2x² yards)²

Area of a square = 4x⁴ yards²

However, since Manny has four pieces of that carpet and wants to use them together to carpet a portion of his basement.

Let the pieces of the carpet be carpet A, B, C and D

where; their side is 2x² yards, then their area = 4x⁴ yards²

the area of the space he can cover with carpet =  A+B+C+D

the area of the space he can cover with carpet =  4x⁴ yards² +  4x⁴ yards² +  4x⁴ yards² +  4x⁴ yards²

the area of the space he can cover with carpet =  16x⁴ yards²

Please help ....this is due tomorrow
marshall27 [118]

A) 0.15 times $2,570 = $412.50

B) $122.85 times 2( 12 ) = $2,948.40

C) $2,570

D) All together it's  $2,948.40 + $2,570 = $5,518.40

For D I didn't add the down payment because it's not an additional charge.

I only did the first one because I don't know if you want me to finish the rest.

Hope I helped :)
