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.

Answer:

  m^2 = 35/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The line will be tangent to the ellipse where there is one point of intersection between the line and the ellipse. We can find that case by looking at the discriminant of the quadratic.

  x^2 +9(mx +2)^2 = 1

  x^2 +9(m^2x^2 +4mx +4) = 1

  (9m^2 +1)x^2+36mx +35 = 0 . . . . subtract 1, collect terms

__

Then the discriminant is ...

  (36m)^2 -4(9m^2 +1)(35)

We want it to be zero, so we have ...

  1296m^2 -1260m^2 -140 = 0 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  36m^2 = 140 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 140

  m^2 = 140/36 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 36

  m^2 = 35/9

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

sin is opposite over hypotenuse

find hypotenuse first -> Hypotenuse = 100 m

(notice that it is a 3-4-5 triangle)

60/100 = 6/10 = 3/5

BRAINLIEST ASAP for BRAINLIEST!!! <br> EASY MATH! Do with explanation
natulia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

you plug  0 into the (x,y) into the equation. if your finding x you plug in 0 for y and versa.  

so y = 9x -3 im going to find x

0 = 9x -3 subtract -3 from both sides

-3 = 9x  divide by 9

x = -3
