Assume that the pond contains 90 fish: 64 purple, 25 green, and 1 red. A contestant pays $0.55 to randomly catch one fish and re

ceives $0.40 if the fish is purple, $1.15 if the fish is green, and $9.00 if the fish is red. How much (on average) does the carnival gain on each play? (If the carnival looses money, enter a negative dollar amount)

Answer:

The carnival is losing (on average) $0.15 on each play

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much the carnival wins or looses in each play one subtract the expected value (EV) from each play from the amount charged by the carnival for each play ($0.55). If the expected value is higher than what the carnival charges, the carnival is losing money.

Expected is the sum of the payouts of each bet multiplied by its likelihood:

EV= \frac{64*0.40+25*1.15+1*9.00}{90}\\EV= 0.70

Since the expected value is higher than $0.55, the carnival is losing money, on average, on each play:

0.55-0.7 = -0.15

The carnival is losing (on average) $0.15 on each play

Write an expression for the following statement(s), and then list each operation
NeX [460]
Let's assign variables for the unknowns. Let x be the amount of total sales while x is the amount of net sales. It is called net sales because a percentage is still deducted from it. The equation will be written as:

Net Sale = Total Sales - 0.25*Total Sales
y = x - 0.25x
y = 0.75x

Identify the domain of the function shown in the graph .
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of a function is the set of x-values or input values.

Similarly, Range of a function is the set of y-values of output values.

From the graph attached,

Function is defined for all x-values (For all real numbers).

Therefore, domain of the function is {x | x ∈ R}

Option B will be the answer.

What is the degree of <br>f (x) = -5x <br>it is a linear function?<br>What is the m and b?​
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The degree is 1

It is a linear function

m = -5 and b = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the degree of the equation

As we can see, it is a linear function with the highest power of as 1

That means it is of degree 1

Comparing with the general form;

y = mx + b

m = -5

b = 0
