The expected value is simply the average of the values of all of the bills.

The expected value is the sum of the values of each bill times the probability that that bill is drawn. 

There are 5 bills, 1, 5, 10, 20, 100. 

The probability of drawing one of the bills out of a hat is 1 out of 5, or 1/5. 

The expected value then is: 

EV = (1/5) * $1 + (1/5) * $5 +(1/5) * $10 +(1/5) * $20 +(1/5) * $100 

Rewriting, you can see that in this problem, EV is just the average of the five bill values 
EV = (1/5) * ($1 + $5 + $10 + $20 + $100) 

EV = $27.20

If the points at (-4, 3) and (2, 3) are reflected over the x-axis to create two new points, what shape can be formed by the four

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $(a,b)\in \mathbb{R}^{2}$ , a reflection over the x-axis consists in the following operation:

$(a,b) \rightarrow (a,-b)$

If we know that $X = (-4,3)$ and $Y = (2, 3)$ , then the points translated over the x-axis are $X' = (-4, -3)$ and $Y' = (2,-3)$ , respectively. The most precise description of the shape is a rectangle for the following facts:
