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

Which order pair is a solution to the system of linear equations -4+y=8 and x-5y=17?
andreev551 [17]

Hello!

To find this ordered pair, we solve for x and y and put them together in an ordered pair.

-4+y=8

x-5y=17

Let's solve the first equation for y.

y= 12

Now, let's plug 12 into the second equation for y.

x-5(12)=17

x-60=17

x=77

Therefore, our ordered pair is (77,12)

I hope this helps!
