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.

Loris makes 20 bracelets in 50 minutes. Doris makes 44 bracelets in 2 hours. who makes more bracelets per hour. how many more?
Sedaia [141]
To do this, you'll have to get loris and doris to the same amount of time, we can already tell loris makes 40 bracelets in 100 minutes but we are still missing 20 minutes, so we got to do some math(Ofc we do its mathematics) if you divide 50 by 20 you'll get 2.5 which is how many minutes it takes to make a bracelet. So now we can go back to that missing 20 minutes, if you divide 20 by 2.5, you'll get 8. So in 2 hours loris makes 48 bracelets(20 + 20(50 hours each)=40 + 8(the missing 20 minutes) = 48) But here is the tricky part it says per an hour, so we need to reduce both by half, so loris makes 24 bracelets an hour and doris makes 22 bracelets an hour so loris makes 2 more bracelets and hour than doris... hope i've helped!

What is the probability of losing 6 times in a row playing Heads or Tails flipping a coin?
slava [35]
The probability of losing per flip is 1/2. Multiply 1/2 by itself 6 times since the condition is asking for the probability for the person to lose 6 times in a row. 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/64. The answer is 1/64.
