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.

Vern has just opened a flower shop. Because of the startup costs, for the next month his net earnings for each bouquet are −$2.5
Basile [38]

Answer:

Which of the measurements would be the most helpful in determining the wavelength
In-s [12.5K]
So we want to know what do we need to measure to determine the wavelength of the wave on the image. A wavelength is the distance between peaks of the wave. More generally, the distance on which the wave shape repeats. So on the image we need to measure X to determine the wavelength. So the correct answer is X.

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of a line that passes through the points (5,3) (4,-3)
Darya [45]

Answer:

y=6x-27

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line given 2 points; use this equation.

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{rise}{run}

(5,3) (4,-3)

x_1   y_1    \\x_2  y_2\\\\

\frac{3 - (-3)}{4-5} =\frac{-6}{-1}  = 6

slope = 6

as for y-intercept use this method in the attachment
