Let X be a random variable denoting the amount of winnings in any given round of the game. There is some probability p of winning where P(X=99,500)=p, while P(X=-500)=1-p, assuming these are the only two possible outcomes. So we have

\mathbb E[X]=\displaystyle\sum_xxP(X=x)=99,500p-500(1-p)=100

100,000p-500=100\implies p=\dfrac3{500}=0.006

Find the length of side x I simplest radical form​
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,

(Hypotenuse)² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = 6² + 5²

AC = \sqrt{61}

Similarly, by applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔACD,

AD² = AC² + CD²

(10)² = (\sqrt{61})^2 + x²

x² = 100- 61

x² = 39

x = √(39)

Option A will be the answer.

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to -x+3y=6 and passes through the point (3,5)?
Elena-2011 [213]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.

We have the following line:

-x + 3y = 6\\3y = x + 6\\y = \frac {1} {3} x + \frac {6} {3}\\y = \frac {1} {3} x + 2

Thus, the slope is:m_ {1} = \frac {1} {3}

Then m_ {2} = \frac {1} {3}

So, the line is of the form:

y = \frac {1} {3} x + b

We substitute the point(x, y) :( 3,5)and find b:

5 = \frac {1} {3} (3) + b\\5 = b

Thus, the equation is:

y = \frac {1} {3} x + 5

Answer:

y = \frac {1} {3} x + 5

Are the co ordinates of A 3,4 ?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A: 2,3

B: -5,1

for ii and iii and b), the easiest way to find the points are by moving on the x-axis(straight across/ horizontal line), then the y-axis(the up to down one). the first point for example (-3,-2), you would move 3 times to the left, and 2 times to the bottom, because if its a negative x, you move left, while if its a positive x, you move right, and if its a negative y, you move down, while a positive y moves you up.

Step-by-step explanation:

I really hope it helps!!!
