<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: D is the correct answer.

The probability is: 0.50

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Weight/Calories  1000-1500   1500-2000  2000-2500   Total

    120 lb.                 90               80                   10               180

    145 lb.                 35               143                  25              203

    165 lb.                  15                27                  75               117

    Total                140               250                110             500

We are asked to find the probability that a person consumes 1500-2000 calories in a day.

Total number of people who were surveyed=500

Total number of people who consume 1500-2000 calories in a day are:250

              Hence, Probability is:

                250/500=1/2=0.50

Answer:  D. 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for probability :

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

The given two-way table :

Weight/Calories   1000-1500   1500-2000  2000-2500     Total

   120 lb.                   90               80                   10               180

   145 lb.                   35               143                  25              203

   165 lb.                   15                27                  75               117

  Total                    140               250                110                500

To find the probability that a person consumes 1500-2000 calories in a day., we need :

a) The total number of people surveyed.  (Total outcomes)

b)  The number of people consume 1500-2000 calories in a day. (favorable outcomes)

From the above table,

Total people surveyed=500

Number of people consume 1500-2000 calories in a day are=250

Then , the required probability will be :-

\text{P(person consumes 1,500 to 2,000 calories in a day)}=\dfrac{250}{500}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=0.50

Hence, the probability that a person consumes 1,500 to 2,000 calories in a day=0.50

You are offered the following gamble based on coin flips. If the first heads occurs on the first flip, you get $2. If the first
Andrews [41]

Answer:

infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

a) the expected value of this gamble in dollars is Infinity

i.e

expected value = \frac{1}{2}*2 +  \frac{1}{4}*4 +  \frac{1}{8}*8 + \frac{1}{16}*16 + ... + \to  \infty (infinty) \\

= 1+1+1+1+1 + ... = \infty

b)

When offered, most people say they would pay only less than $10 to play this game.

What are two reasons why people are willing to pay so much less than the expected value?

These people are ready to pay less than $10 to play this game due to the fact that people usually overlook the unlikely event when making decisions. In a bid to that logic, they gamble in order to double their amount of money and the probability that heads may never come is ignored by these people and they may hope for a likely event i.e a head every time they play the game.

Also, the expected value is so humongous that if and only if that the first head appears after a long series of tails which is  very less certain to occur, because mostly people would think that on an average the length of a series of tails ( or heads) is somewhat near 10 or so, but definitely infinity.
