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

Which function is a linear function?
Sophie [7]

Answer: y+ 7 = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is a function in which the highest power of the unknown is 1 , that is , the highest power of the variables that are unknown will be 1.

From the question given:

A : 1  - 3x^{2} = -y

The power of x is 2 , though the power of y is 1 but because of the existence of the power of x which is 2 , it is not linear

B : y + 7 = 5x

both the power of x and y is 1 , so it is a linear function

C: x^{3} + 4 = y is not linear

D is also not linear

likewise , E is not linear

Therefore , B is the only linear function
