Answer:

3.5 pounds of nuts; 6.5 pounds of M&Ms

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of pounds of M&Ms to use. Then 10-m is the number of pounds of nuts, and the cost of the mix is ...

6·m + 3·(10-m) = 4.95·10 . . . . . cost = cost per pound times pounds

3m +30 = 49.5 . . . . . . simplify

3m = 19.5 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30

m = 6.5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Then 10-m = 10-6.5 = 3.5.

The manager should use 3.5 pounds of nuts and 6.5 pounds of M&Ms in the mix.

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:

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