A game of chance involves rolling an unevenly balanced 4-sided die. The probability that a roll comes up 1 is 0.21, the probabil

ity that a roll comes up 1 or 2 is 0.42, and the probability that a roll comes up 2 or 3 is 0.51 . If you win the amount that appears on the die, what is your expected winnings? (Note that the die has 4 sides.) Answer = __________ dollars.

Answer:

2.65 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value for a discrete variable is calculated as:

E(x)=x1P(x1) + x2P(x2) + ... + xnP(xn)

Where x1, x2, ... , xn are the possibles values of the variable and P(x1), P(x2), ... , P(xn) are the probabilities of x1, x2, ... , xn respectively.

In this case, the roll can comes up 1, 2, 3 or 4 and you can win 1, 2, 3 or 4 dollars respectively. So, taking into account that they are mutually exclusive events, the probability that the player win 1, 2, 3 or 4 dollars is:

P(1) = 0.21

P(2) = P(1∪2) - P(1) = 0.42 - 0.21 = 0.21

P(3) = P(2∪3) - P(2) = 0.51 - 0.21 = 0.3

P(4) = 1 - P(1) - P(2) - P(3) = 1 - 0.21 - 0.21 - 0.3 = 0.28

Therefore, If you win the amount that appears on the die the expected winning are:

E(x) = $1P(1) + $2P(2) + $3P(3) + $4P(4)

E(x) = $1(0.21) + $2(0.21) + $3(0.3) + $4(0.28)

E(x) = $2.65

PLEASE HELP!!!!! 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, ....<br><br> The recursive formula for this sequence is:
rodikova [14]

Answer:

a₈ = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

The given arithmetic sequence is: 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, . . .

The recursive formula for the sequence is: $ a_n = a_{n - 1} + 5 $

Here, $ a_n $ represents the $ n^{th} $ of the sequence.

And, $ a_{n - 1} $ represents the $ (n - 1)^{th} $ of the sequence.

'+5' denotes that '5' is added to the $ (n - 1)^{th} $ term to get the $ n^{th} $ term. In other words, the difference between two consecutive numbers in the sequence is 5.

Now, we are asked to find a₈ i.e., n =8.

Substituting in the recursive formula we get: a₈ = a₍₈₋ ₁₎ + 5 = a₇ + 5.

So, to determine a₈ we need to know a₇. From the sequence we see that a₅ = 23.

⇒ a₆ = 23 + 5 = 28.

⇒ a₇ = 28 + 5 = 32.

⇒ a₈ = 32 + 5 = 37.

Therefore, the $ 8^{th} $ term of the sequence is 37.
