−1
Explanation:
Let's say the set of downs starts at the 20 yard line (maybe the kicking team kicked deep, the receiving team took a knee and so play starts at the 20).
Ok - we're at the 20. First down - they advance 5 yards. So we're now at the 25. We can write that mathematically as:
20 + 5= 25
So the second play they get sacked deep and lose 6 yards. So we subtract 6:
25 − 6=19
So what's the change in yardage for the 2 plays? We are on the 19 and started at the 20, so we can write:
19 − 20= −1
and this makes sense because we know we advanced 5 and fell back 6:
+5 −6 = −1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It's too bad about this problem. It's a fair game if you get paid the same amount that you have to pay if you lose.
You win 2 ways
- H - H
- T - T
- Probability 1/2
You lose 2 ways.
- H - T
- T - H
- Probability 1/2
Expectation
E = 1/2 * 3 - 1/2 * 4
E = 1.5 - 2
E = -0.5
Which means that you should expect to lose 0.5 dollars every time you play this dreadful game.
Yes, the table represents a function.
None of the independent (x) values are repeated and each one has a corresponding (y) value.
If you had a repeated (x) value in the table, it would not represent a function.
