You decide to play roulette 200 times each time betting the same amount on red. you will loe money if you win on fewer than 100

of the plays. what is the probability that you will lose money? ( check that the normal approximation is permissible and use it to find this probability) in general, if you bet the same.

First off, your chances of red are not really 50-50. You are overlooking the 0 slot or the 00 slot which are green. So, chances of red are 18 in 37 (0 slot) or 38 (0 and 00 slots). With a betting machine, the odds does not change no trouble what has occurred before. Think through the simplest circumstance, a coin toss. If I toss heads 10 times one after the other, the chances of tails about to happen on the next toss are still on a 50-50. A betting machine has no ability, no plan, and no past. 
Chances (0 slot) that you success on red are 18 out of 37 (18 red slots), but likelihoods of losing are 19 out of 37 (18 black plus 0). For the wheel with both a 0 and 0-0 slot, the odds are poorer. You chances of red are 18 out of 38 (18 red slots win), and down are 20 out of 38 (18 black plus 0 and 00). It does not really matter on how long you play there, the probabilities would always continue the same on every spin. The lengthier you play, the more thoroughly you will tie the chances with a total net loss of that portion of a percent in accord of the house. 18 winning red slots and either 19 or 20 losing slots.

I'm thinking of a number. This number is 12 less than its square. What could my number be?
omeli [17]

let nwmber to be X

the number is 12 less than it's square,

so X=12-X^2

=> X^2+X-12=0

=> (X+4)(X-3)=0

=>X= 3, or X=-4

in math we don't usually take negative numbers into account so your number would be 3

Suppose that X is a random variable with mean 20 and standard deviation 5. Also
GaryK [48]
Disregard my earlier question.

Recall that the variance of a random variable X, denoted \mathbb V(X), is given by

\mathbb E((X-\mu)^2)

where \mathbb E(X) denotes the expected value/mean of X, and \mu=\mathbb E(X) is the actual mean of X.

Now, recall that

\mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E((X-\mu)^2)=\mathbb E(X^2-2\mu X+\mu^2)
\mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E(X^2)-2\mu^2+\mu^2
\mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E(X^2)-\mathbb E(X)^2

(a) Z=2+10X

\mathbb V(Z)=\mathbb E((2+10X)^2)-\mathbb E(2+10X)^2
\mathbb V(Z)=\mathbb E(4+40X+100X^2)-(\mathbb E(2)+\mathbb E(10X))^2
\mathbb V(Z)=\mathbb E(4)+40\mathbb E(X)+100\mathbb E(X^2)-(\mathbb E(2)+10\mathbb E(X))^2
\mathbb V(Z)=100\mathbb E(X^2)-40000
\mathbb V(Z)=100\left(\mathbb E(X^2)-\mathbb E(X)^2+\mathbb E(X)^2\right)-40000
\mathbb V(Z)=100\left(\mathbb V(X)+\mathbb E(X)^2\right)-40000
\mathbb V(Z)=100\left(5^2+400\right)-40000
\mathbb V(Z)=2500

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so for (a) you have

\sqrt{\mathbb V(Z)}=\sqrt{2500}=50

That should give you an idea as to how to figure out the rest.

The sides of a triangle are 15, 20 and 25. Find the length of the shortest altitude
motikmotik
15, 20, and 25 are a Pythagorean triple, (225+40=625) thus they form a right triangle. The shortest altitude of any right triangle is going to be that of the hypotenuse. All three of the right triangles formed by the altitude on hypotenuse are similar. Thus 15:25 = a:10. a=6.
