Suppose that two​ players, R and​ C, write down letters of the alphabet. If both write vowels or both write​ consonants, then th

ere is no payment to either player. If R writes a vowel and C writes a​ consonant, then C pays R ​$6. If R writes a consonant and C writes a​ vowel, then R pays C ​$5. Suppose that R chooses a consonant 75​% of the plays and C chooses a vowel 30​% of the plays. What is the average loss of R per​ play?

Answer:

-0.075

Step-by-step explanation:

[Player R, Player C] cases & outcomes :-

  • (Vowel, Vowel) = (0,0)
  • (Consonant, Consonant) = (0,0)
  • (Vowel, Consonant) = (6,-6)
  • (Consonant, Vowel) = (-5,5)
  • Prob (R chooses consonant) = 75% = 0.75
  • Prob (R chooses vowel) = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25
  • Prob (C chooses vowel) = 30% = 0.30
  • Prob (C chooses consonant) = 1 - 0.30 = 0.70

Average Loss of R = Expected value of : he choses consonant & C choses vowel; he chooses vowel & C choses consonant

= (0.75)(0.30)(-5) + (0.25)(0.70)(6)

-1.125 + 1.05

= -0.075

An equation is shown below: 6(2x-11)+15=21
mars1129 [50]

Hello!

To solve, we want to isolate the x on one side of the equation. We can use inverse operations to put numbers on the other side to find x.

First we undistribute our parentheses.

12x-66+15=21

We subtract 15 from both sides (it cancels out the 15 on the left side, making it 0).

12x-66=6

Now we add 66 to both sides, as -66+66=0

12x=72

Finally, we divide both sides by 12.

x=6

I hope this helps!

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Do not solve.
NemiM [27]
Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y. x-y=44.38 x+y=196.12 Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to) x=y+44.38 x=196.12-y Set them equal to each other. y+44.38=196.12-y Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x. x=120.24 y=75.86 Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.
