cConsider a game in which players roll a number cube to determine the number of points earned. If a player rolls a prime number,

that many points will be added to the player’s total. Any other roll will be deducted from the player’s total. What is the expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game?

Expected value = -1(1/6) + 2(1/6) + 3(1/6) - 4(1/6) + 5(1/6) - 6(1/6) = -1/6 + 2/6 + 3/6 - 4/6 + 5/6 - 6/6 = -1/6 = -0.167

Answer:

E(X) = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- A numbered cube is rolled.

+ Points : Prime Number

- Points : Any other number.

Find:-

What is the expected value of the points earned on a single roll in this game?

Solution:-

- We will denote a random variable (X) that represents the number of points in a game. We have 6 faces with (1 , 2 , 3 , 5) as prime numbers ( + Points ). Where numbers ( 4 & 6 ) will denote the ( - Points ).

- We will express the random variable (X) in probability distribution table. The probability of getting any number on the cube is equal to (1/6). The distribution table is as follows:

          X        -6           -4             1            2           3            5

      P(X)        1/6         1/6           1/6         1/6        1/6          1/6

- The expected value for the random variable E(X) can be determined by the following formula:

                    E(X) = Sum ( Xi*P(X) )

Where,   i : Term number from table:

                    E(X) = (-6)*(1/6) + (-4)*(1/6) + (1)*(1/6) + (2)*(1/6) + (3)*(1/6) + (5)*(1/6)

                    E(X) = (1/6)* ( -6 -4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 )

                    E(X) = ( 1 / 6 ) * ( 1 )

                    E(X) = 1/6

- The expected value of points earned per single roll in this game is 1/6

What is 2 2/3 minus 1 1/2
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

1 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/3 = 2+2/3

1 1/2 = 1+1/2

So (2 2/3) - (1 1/2)=2+2/3-(1+1/2)=

2+2/3-1-1/2=1+(2/3-1/2)=1+(4-3)/6=1+1/6=

The price of two pairs and six apples is $14. The price of three pairs and nine apples is $21. Can you determine the unit prices
deff fn [24]

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The second purchase is exactly half-again larger than the first purchase, so sheds no light on the relative costs of the items. The per-item costs can be found when the ratio of items purchased is different from one buy to another.

___

We can only say that the cost of 1 pear and 3 apples is $7.
