The expected value of the game is the mean value of the game
The expected value of the game is $1
<h3>How to determine the expected value?</h3>There are 13 spades in a deck of card of 52
So, the probability of selecting a spade is:
P(Spade) = 13/52
Simplify
P(Spade) = 1/4
Winning = $7
The probability of not selecting a spade is:
P(Not spade) = 1 - 1/4
Simplify
P(Not spade) = 3/4
Lose = $1
The expected value of the game is:
This gives
Simplify
Evaluate
Hence, the expected value of the game is $1

They want us to apply the sum angle formula to
5π/6 is 150°; I find it easier to think in degrees.
When the tangent of x is 3/4 that's a right triangle with opposite 3, adjacent 4 so hypotenuse 5. So a sine of 3/5 and a cosine of 4/5, both positive because we're told x is in the first quadrant.
The sine sum angle formula is
We know sin 150° = sin 30° = 1/2 and cos 150° = - cos 30° = -√3/2
