Answer:

a = 9\\b = 48\\c = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

In a deck of 52 cards there are 4 aces.

Therefore the probability of obtaining an ace is:

P (x) = 4/52

The probability of not getting an ace is:

P ('x) = 1-4 / 52

P ('x) = 48/52

In this problem the number of aces obtained when extracting cards from the deck is a discrete random variable.

For a discrete random variable V, the expected value is defined as:

E(V) = VP(V)

Where V is the value that the random variable can take and P (V) is the probability that it takes that value.

We have the following equation for the expected value:

E(V) = \frac{4}{52}(a) + \frac{b}{52}(c)

In this problem the variable V can take the value V = 9 if an ace of the deck is obtained, with probability of 4/52, and can take the value V = -1 if an ace of the deck is not obtained, with a probability of 48 / 52

Therefore, expected value for V, the number of points obtained in the game is:

E(V) = \frac{4}{52}(9) + \frac{48}{52}(-1)

So:

a = 9\\b = 48\\c = -1

Heidi has 6 pounds of tomatoes from her garden. She used 3/4 of all the tomatoes to make sauce and gave 2/3 of the rest of the t
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

She gives 16 ounces to her neighbor

Step-by-step explanation:

How much did you use to make sauce

6 * 3/4 = 18/4 =9/2 = 4.5  lbs

That leaves 6-4.5 = 1.5 lbs

She give 2/3 of this to her neighbor

1.5 * 2/3

Changing the decimal to a fraction

3/2 * 2/3 = 1

She gives 1  pound to her neighbor, but we want it in ounces

16 ounces equals 1 pound

She gives 16 ounces to her neighbor

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are H(5, 13) and K(7, 5). (12, 18) (9, 7) (2, 8) (6, 9)
____ [38]

Answer: D. (6, 9)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Midpoint is the "average" of the x's and y's:

Given: (5, 13) and (7, 5)

Midpoint: (\dfrac{5+7}{2},\dfrac{13+5}{2})

             = (\dfrac{12}{2},\dfrac{18}{2})

              = (6, 9)
