Answer:

a.  Table completed

b.  E(X) = -0.5

c.  Miguel loses $0.5 each time he plays

Step-by-step explanation:

a.  The total outcomes S = {11, 13, 15, 13, 15, 35}

Let A be the event he wins $2 and B be the even he loses $1.

Then, A ={11} and

B = {13, 15, 13, 15, 35}

p(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(S)} =\frac{1}{6}

p(B) = \frac{n(B)}{n(S)} =\frac{5}{6}

Then, the table would be as follows:

X_{i}            2    -1

p(X_{i})        \frac{1}{6}     \frac{5}{6}


b.  E(X) = X_{1}p(X_{1})+X_{2}p(X_{2})

=2(\frac{1}{6} )+(-1)(\frac{5}{6} )

=\frac{2}{6} -\frac{5}{6}

=\frac{2-5}{6}

=-\frac{3}{6}

=-\frac{1}{2}


c.  Based on the result (b), Miguel loses $0.5 each time he plays

To check all the events (6), we label the chips. Suppose one chip with 1 is labeled R1 and the other B1 (as if they were red and blue). Now, lets take all combinations; for the first chip, we have 4 choices and for the 2nd chip we have 3 remaining choices. Thus there are 12 combinations. Since we dont care about the order, there are only 6 combinations since for example R1, 3 is the same as 3, R1 for us.

The combinations are: (R1, B1), (R1, 3), (R1, 5), (B1, 3), (B1, 5), (3,5)

We have that in 1 out of the 6 events, Miguel wins 2$ and in five out of the 6 events, he loses one. The expected value of this bet is: 1/6*2+5/6*(-1)=-3/6=-0.5$. In general, the expected value of the bet is the sum of taking the probabilities of the outcome multiplied by the outcome; here, there is a 1/6 probability of getting the same 2 chips and so on. On average, Miguel loses half a dollar every time he plays.

4) a. x+y=1–(1)
y=2x-8—(2)
(2) into (1)
x+(2x-8)=1
3x-8=1
3x=1+8
x=9/3
x=3—(3)
(3) into (2)
y=2(3)-8
y=-2

ans x=3, y=-2

b. x+y=19—(1)
y=5x+1—(2)

(2) into (1)

x+(5x+1)=19
6x+1=19
6x=19-1
x=18/6
x=3—(3)

(3) into (2)

y=5(3)+1
y=16

ans x=3, y=16

c.x+y=-2—(1)
y=x-10—(2)

(2) into (1)

x+(x-10)=-2
2x-10=-2
2x=-2+10
x=8/2
x=4–(3)

y=4-10
y=-6

ans x=4, y=-6


5) 3x=y—(1)
x=y-16–(2)

(2) into (1)

3(y-16)=y
3y-48=y
2y=48
y=48/2
y=24–(3)

(3) into (2)

x=24-16
x=8

ans x=8, y=24
