You and a friend play a game where you each toss a balanced coin. If the upper faces on the coins are both tails, you win $1; if

the faces are both heads, you win $2; if the coins do not match (one shows a head, the other a tail), you lose $1 (win (−$1)). Give the probability distribution for your winnings Y on a single play of this game.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you and a friend play a game where you each toss a balanced coin.

If the upper faces on the coins are both tails, you win $1;

if the faces are both heads, you win $2;

if the coins do not match (one shows a head, the other a tail), you lose $1 (win (−$1)).

Let Y be the amount won

Then Y can take values as 1,2 and -1

P(Y=1) =P(TT) = 0.25\\P(Y=2) = P(HH) = 0.25\\P(Y=-1) = P(HT)+P(TH) = 0.5

The above is the probability distribution for Y.

Each month, Liz pays $35 to her phone company just to use the phone. Each text she sends costs her an additional $0.05. In March
Firdavs [7]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3><h3><u>752 & 617</u></h3><h3 /><h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3><h3><u>So if Liz pays $35 each month just to use the phone, we could subtract 35 from the total bill that month to get the the total cost she spent on text messages.</u></h3><h3 /><h3><u>March:$72.60-$35=$37.60</u></h3><h3><u>April: $65.85-$35=$30.85</u></h3><h3 /><h3><u>We can see that in March Liz spent $37.60 on texts in total and in April she spent $30.85 on texts in total. All we have to do is divide the amount of money she spent on texts( $37.60 & $30.85) by the cost of one text message($0.05) to get the amount of texts she sent that month.</u></h3><h3 /><h3><u>March: $37.60/$0.05=752</u></h3><h3><u>April: $30.85/$0.05=617</u></h3><h3 /><h3><u>Therefore, she sent 752 texts in March and 617 texts in April.</u></h3><h3 /><h3><u>~FrxziteTheLxoser~ I hoped I help you  :)</u></h3>

HELP The minute hand of a clock is 5 inches long. to the the nearest tenth of an inch, how far does the tip of the minute hand t
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

18.326 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is basically asking us to find the arc length that the tip of the minute hand travels. The formula for an arc length is S=θr. So we need th find the angle that the minute hand passes through. We know that there is 360 degrees in a cicle and there is 12 stops around a clock, so divide 360 by 12 to find the degrees the minute hand travels every 5 minutes. We ge that every 5 minutes the hand travels 30 degrees, and 35 minutes is 7*5 so we multiple 30*7 to find the angular displacement, and we get 210 degrees. This equation uses radians though so we have to convert, which can be done doing \frac{210}{1} *\frac{\pi }{180}, and we ge that θ is \frac{7\pi }{6} so (\frac{7\pi }{6})(5)= 18.326 inches
