Answer:

The expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a pair of honest dice is rolled.

Possible outcomes for a dice = 1,2,3,4,5,6

Two dices are rolled then the total number of outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36.

\{(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),\\(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),\\(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)\}

The possible ways of getting a total of 7,

{ (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) }

Number of favorable outcomes = 7

Formula for probability:

Probability=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

So, the possibility of getting a total of 7 = \frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}

The possible ways of getting a total of 11,

{(5,6), (6,5)}

So, the probability of getting a total of 11 = \frac{2}{36} = \frac{1}{18}

Now, other possible rolls = 36 - 6 - 2 = 36 - 8 = 28,

So, the probability of getting the sum of numbers other than 7 or 11 = \frac{28}{36} = \frac{7}{9}

Since, for the sum of 7, $ 22 will earn, for the sum of 11, $ 66 will earn while for any other total loss is $11,

Hence, the expected value for this game is

\frac{1}{6}\times 22+\frac{1}{18}\times 66-\frac{7}{9}\times 11

\frac{11}{3}+\frac{11}{3}-\frac{77}{9}

\frac{22}{3}-\frac{77}{9}

\frac{66-77}{9}

-\frac{11}{9}

-1.22

Therefore the expected payoff for this game is -$1.22.

Find the sum. 13(9−6m)+14(12m−8)
FinnZ [79.3K]
To do this problem, we must first distribute the 13 and 14 into the parenthesis.

<span>13(9−6m)+14(12m−8)

117 - 78m + 168m - 112

To combine like terms, we can add/subtract terms that have an "m" together and then we can add/subtract terms that do not have "m" together.

117 - 112 = 5
and 
168m - 78m = 90m

So our final sum is 5 + 90m</span>

Convert from rectangular to polar coordinates:Note: Choose r and θ such that r is non-negative and 0 ≤ θ &lt; 2πa. (6,0)b. (9,9/
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The polar coordinates are as follow:

a. (6,2π)

b. (18, π/3)

c. (2√2 , 3π/4)

d. (2, 5π /6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the rectangular coordinates into polar coordinates, we need to calculate r, θ .

To calculate r, we use Pythagorean theorem:

r = \sqrt{ x^{2} +y^{2} } ---- (1)

To calculate the θ, first we will find out the θ '  using the inverse of cosine as it is easy to calculate.

So,    θ '  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

If  y  <  0  then  θ  =  2 π  −  ∅

For a. (6,0)

Sol:

Using the formula in equation (1). we get the value of r as:

r = \sqrt{6^{2} + 0^{2}  }

r = 6

And ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅ = cos ⁻¹  (6/6)

∅  =cos ⁻¹   (1) = 2π

As If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

So ∅ = 2π

The polar coordinates are (6,2π)

For a. (9,9/\sqrt{3})

Sol:

r = 9 + 3(3) = 18

and ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅ = cos ⁻¹  (9/18)

∅ = cos ⁻¹   (1/2) = π/3

As  If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

then θ  = π/3

The polar coordinates are (18, π/3)

For (-2,2)

Sol:

r =√( (-2)²+(2)² )

r = 2 √2

and ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅ = cos ⁻¹  (-2/ 2 √2)

∅ = 3π/4

As  If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

then   θ  = 3π/4

The polar coordinates are (2√2 , 3π/4)

For (-√3, 1)

Sol:

r = √ ((-√3)² + 1²)

r = 2

and ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅  = cos ⁻¹ ( -√3/2)

∅  = 5π /6

As  If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

So  θ  = 5π /6

The polar coordinates are (2, 5π /6)

How to work this problem
Mazyrski [523]
7x + 9y = - 27_________eq1
3x - y = 3__________eq2
Multiply eq 2 by 9 and then add the resulting eq with eq1.

eq2 x 9 gives us   27x - 9y = 27___________eq3
 
add eq3 with eq1 we get.
34x = 0.
where x=0/34
x=0.
substitute x into any of the above equations to get y.
substitute x into eq1. we get:
7(0) + 9y =-27
9y = -27
y= -27/9
y = -3.

A null hypothesis can only be rejected at the 5% significance level if and only if:
uranmaximum [27]
<span>The probability of the outcome's occurrence by "chance" is 5% or less. "Chance" results are those that are within normal variation, which is defined as 2 standard deviations from the mean. Results that are less than 2 standard deviations from the mean are considered not statistically significant, meaning that the null hypothesis should not be rejected. There are some differences the point at which the 5% case occurs, depending on whether the null hypothesis is directed or not.</span>
