A game is played with the following rules. Two ordinary number cubes, each with six sides labeled 1 to 6, are rolled. After each

roll a player is given a certain number of points depending on the outcome. If the sum is 2 or 12, the player receives +6 points If the sum is 3 or 11, the player receives +2 points. If the sum is any other number, the player receives –1 point. What is the expected value of the number of points a player will receive after a roll?

Answer: - 0.28


Explanation:

1) Expected value: is the weighted average of the values, being the probabilities the weight.

That is: ∑ of prbability of event i × value of event i.

In this case: (probability of getting 2 or 12) × (+6) + (probability of gettin 3 or 11) × (+2) + (probability of any other sum) × (-1).


2) Sample space:

Sum              Points awarded
    
1+ 1 = 2              +6

1 + 2 = 3             +2

1 + 3 = 4             -1

1 + 4 = 5             -1

1 + 5 = 6             -1

1 + 6 = 7             -1

2 + 1 = 3             +2

2 + 2 = 4             -1

2 + 3 = 5             -1

2 + 4 = 6             -1

2 + 5 = 7             -1

2 + 6 = 8             -1

3 + 1 = 4             -1

3 + 2 = 5             -1

3 + 3 = 6             -1

3 + 4 = 7             -1

3 + 5 = 8             -1

3 + 6 = 9             -1

4 + 1 = 5             -1

4 + 2 = 6             -1

4 + 3 = 7             -1

4 + 4 = 8            -1

4 + 5 = 9            -1

4 + 6 = 10          -1

5 + 1 = 6            -1

5 + 2 = 7            -1

5 + 3 = 8            -1

5 + 4 = 9            -1

5 + 5 = 10          -1

5 + 6 = 11          +2

6 + 1 = 7            -1

6 + 2 = 8            -1

6 + 3 = 9            -1

6 + 4 = 10          -1

6 + 5 = 11          +2

6 + 6 = 12          +6


2) Probabilities

From that, there is:
- 2/36 probabilities to earn + 6 points.
- 4/36 probabilites to earn + 2 points
- the rest, 30/36 probabilities to earn - 1 points


3) Expected value = (2/36)(+6) + (4/36) (+2) + (30/36) (-1) = - 0.28

Write an equation expressing the volume of the box made by paper x by 16 from which a square with side length 2 is cut from each
Furkat [3]

Answer: V = 24*(x - 4) with the condition x > 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volme of a cube/box is equal to:

V = W*L*H

where W = width, L = lenght and H = heigth.

First:

We know that the cubes cut in the corner have a side length of 2.

Then the remaining part is folded up, and this is now the height.

So the height of the box is equal to 2.

Now, we know that the initial measures of the piece of paper are x by 16

But now, in each extreme, we subtracted 2 units, that are now the new heiht, so now the piece of paper is (x -2 -2) by (16 -2 - 2)

or (x - 4) by 12.

Then the volume of the box is:

V = (x -4)*12*2 = 24*(x -4)

Notice something, if x is equal or smaller than 4, then we have a negative volume or a volume equal to zero. Those are problems in our model, so we should use the condition x > 4.

Olive is allowed to bring one friend on a trip with her.
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Process of elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

If Olive wants to choose a friend while not playing favorites, while also not being random, she has to eliminate the ones she knows she will NOT take on the trip. She can choose this by selecting the one she knows that will be best on the trip with her, depending on the situation.

Or, if Olive only has one friend, then it wouldn't be surprising that she would take that one friend on the trip, since she has no one else to choose. This way, it is not playing favorites, nor is it random. Hope this helps you!
