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

The cost of 5 cans of dog food is $4.35.At the price,how much do 11 cans of dog foo cost.
IgorLugansk [536]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

11 cans cost $9.57

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways of doing this, one being the longer and the other being the shorter.

The shorter one is simply multiplying the number by the new number over 5:

4.35 * \frac{11}{5}

This works because this finds the amount the 5 has increased from 5 to 11 and muliplies the number by this.

4.35 * \frac{11}{5} = 9.57

So 11 cans cost $9.57

Bond [772]
Area is base multiplied by height, so to get the answer you'd need to multiply 6.5 and 4

You multiply a number by 3 subtract 6 then add 2 the results is 20 what's the number
e-lub [12.9K]

You multiply a number by 3 subtract 6 then add 2 the results is 20

what's the number​ ?

Let the number = x

multiply a number by 3

so, it becomes 3x

subtract 6 , so, 3x - 6

then add 2

so, 3x - 6 + 2

The result will be 20

So,

3x - 6 + 2 = 20

solve for x

3x - 4 = 20

Add 4 to both sides

3x - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4

3x = 24

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 24/3

So,

x = 8
